A Strategically Located Brewery that has It All--Daniel Island's New Realm Brewing Company Pre-Party with Forty Mile Detour

Three things matter, when it comes to business property: location, location, location, and New Realm Brewing Company on Daniel Island affirms that ubiquitous real estate saying. As an obvious case in point, having a short walking distance to Credit One Stadium makes New Realm an ideal concert pre-party venue.

New Realm Brewing Company is an all-in-one restaurant, brewery, and distilling company. It was started in 2016 by co-founders Carey Falcone, Bob Powers, and Mitch Steele. It claims core principles such as quality, creativity, authenticity, and striving for perfection, all with a customer-first mentality with its guests, employees, retailers, and community.

New Realm crafts beer in many styles, from hazy IPAs to classic pilsners and Belgian-inspired ales. Add to that, it distills a variety of spirits used in its excitingly fresh cocktails. The day I was there for the Tyler Childers pre-party, I chose the Tank Dog Hazy Imperial IPA and Tank Dog Tangerine Mango IPA in the one-pint cans. With an ABV of 9.6%, it will knock your flip-flops off. 

They prepare seasonal fare using local ingredients to create dishes that pair perfectly with their beers, hard seltzers, and cocktails. Their creative culinary team pulls inspiration from the regional food scenes in surrounding communities and local farms to create approachable menus rooted in tradition. They blend global flavors and local fare to pair perfectly with its beers and inviting setting for friends, neighbors, and guests alike. From hand-ground premium burgers to house-made desserts, there's something on the menu for the whole family. 

New Realm's indoor dining area is as big as its philosophy. There are community tables for friends to gather at, plenty of bar seating, an open kitchen, and a beautiful view of the brewery. Outside, table seating wraps around the building's exterior which is dominated by a sprawling, covered patio with couches, Adirondack chairs, a service bar, tall tables, and a dance area where local bands set up to entertain its massive crowds.

New Realm affords local area bands the opportunity to showcase their stuff. Forty Mile Detour, a Lowcountry band that incorporates elements of blues, rock 'n' roll, folk, and bluegrass, was the headliner for the Tyler Childers pre-party. For three hours and a nearly 30 song set, Mark Yampolsky and fellow band members Heather Norton, Bobby Napier, Mike Sparks, John Auwaerter, and Dante Cerni energized the outdoor patio with their unique sound and unquestionably proved their well-deserved place as one of the area's premier bands.

Ideally and strategically located on beautiful Daniel Island, New Realm Brewing Company lives up to and beyond the principles of its business philosophy. Epic is a fitting word to describe this venue. Crafting beer in many styles, from hazy IPAs to classic pilsners and Belgian-inspired ales along with a variety of spirits, a food menu to match, and quality entertainment, New Realm has it all.
