New South Brewing, 1109 Campbell St., Myrtle Beach
This small microbrewery has been crafting ales and lagers since 1998, serving Myrtle Beach with draft beer only until 2009, when they began canning their products. New South’s lineup includes their Lager, White Ale, Dark Star Porter, IPA, Nut Brown Ale, and seasonal and specialty brews. While their products are sold in distributors on the Grand Strand, you can also stop by New South Brewery Myrtle Beach for an inside look at the brewery, where they serve draft pours, six-packs, growlers, T-shirts and beer gear Tuesday-Friday, 4:30-7 p.m.; Saturday, 1-5 p.m.; and Sunday, 12:30-4 p.m.
Gordon Biersch, 3060 Howard Ave., Myrtle Beach
Gordon Biersch, Myrtle Beach, has been a mainstay at The Market Common since the retail-residential village first opened a decade ago. The classy corner bar is one of 35 Gordon Biersch brewery-restaurant locations across the United States and Taiwan. Not only do they brew their own beer onsite, but they also offer a food menu that goes beyond bar munchies, such as their signature Southwest Egg Rolls, housemade tacos, steak and chicken entrees, pasta and flatbread pizzas. Beer selection ranges from the lighter Golden Export to the malty Marzen, with many taps in between.
The Brass Tap, 3090 Deville St., Myrtle Beach
With more than 200 craft beers from around the world, The Brass Tap Myrtle Beach may know a thing or two about good beer.

Food features include unique sliders, soft pretzels and dips, burgers, street tacos and more. And there’s something going on at The Brass Tap every day of the week, from trivia, to DJ Bingo to live music.
