The Brew Cellar in Park Circle today announced that their last day of business will be February 17th "or when inventory runs out."
The bottle shop had the following to say on social media:
"It’s with a heavy heart that we are announcing the closing of the Brew Cellar. We cannot thank you all enough for all the love and support we have received over the past 11 years. We started the Cellar as a place to try new and exciting beers and provide a welcoming place to hangout with friends and meet new ones. I believe we succeeded! We have met so many great people that have become wonderful friends, colleagues, and family. We have watched as our little area has grown to be the fun, bustling community that it is now. We have truly enjoyed pouring you some of the best beers available and getting to know you all. Unfortunately, we have fallen victim to the high cost of South Carolina’s mandatory liability insurance. While we agree that businesses should carry this insurance. We also believe there needs to be some reform to it. With the dram shop bill passed in 2017, We have seen fewer and fewer insurance companies willing to write liquor liability policies. Now we are experiencing insane rate increases that our little store cant handle. We will continue to advocate and help support our F&B friends and family. We hope they will see change in legislation that will benefit them. We will miss the times shared with everyone that visited our Cellar!
We will be open to serve until February 17th or when inventory runs out. Help clear the Cellar!
We will still be hanging out around town at our other favorite spots! So on that note. It’s not goodbye, just see ya later! We love you all."
You can visit The Brew Cellar until they close at 1050 East Montague Ave., Suite D, in North Charleston.
