Local sells
Visiting drinkers ask for local first; locals buy it twice. A shelf or menu with SC spirits gives staff a story to tell — the farm, the still, the town — and stories move bottles that discounts can’t.
Welcome to the
South Carolina Craft Distillers Guild
A nonprofit trade association focused on the promotion, regulatory and legislative needs of South Carolina craft distilled spirits manufacturers — from the grain fields to the still house.

Why pour South Carolina?
Every bottle from a Guild distillery is a South Carolina story your guests can taste — and a line item your community keeps.
It’s real agriculture
Guild distillers buy South Carolina corn, rye, rice, and fruit from South Carolina farms. Sourcing from members keeps your alcohol dollars inside the state’s farm economy — something no national brand on your shelf can claim.
We make it easy
One map of every member distillery — where they are, what they pour, and how to find them. Plus statewide license activity and the legislative news that matters, refreshed every weekday morning.
