Crafted in Carolina is a celebration of South Carolina's brewers and artisans, organized by the South Carolina Brewers Guild and held at Segra Park in Columbia. The 2026 edition features tastings of over 150 styles of South Carolina craft beer from more than 60 breweries across the state, plus an Artisan Market showcasing crafts and products made in the Palmetto State.
VIP ticket holders ($65 early bird / $75 regular) enjoy entry at 1 PM, while General Admission ($35 early bird / $45 regular) enters at 2 PM. Both tiers enjoy sampling until 5 PM. The 2026 event features music from DJ Voodoo Child and collaboration beers from each of the state's five beer regions, with attendees voting for their favorite.
Segra Park, home of the Columbia Fireflies minor league baseball team, provides an ideal open-air venue for the festival. The event highlights the diversity and quality of South Carolina's growing craft beer industry while supporting local artisans and makers.
Crafted in Carolina emerged from the South Carolina Brewers Guild's mission to promote and celebrate the state's rapidly growing craft beer industry. The festival was rebranded from an earlier SC Brewers Guild event, taking on the 'Crafted in Carolina' name to better reflect its dual celebration of South Carolina brewing and artisanship.
The choice of Segra Park as the venue — home to the Columbia Fireflies minor league baseball team — gives the festival a stadium setting that can comfortably host thousands of beer enthusiasts. Columbia's central location in the state makes it accessible to craft beer fans from Charleston to Greenville and everywhere in between.
What sets Crafted in Carolina apart is its exclusively South Carolina focus. While many beer festivals feature national breweries, this event is dedicated entirely to the state's own brewers, offering over 150 styles from 60+ SC breweries. The addition of collaboration beers from each of the state's five beer regions adds a competitive element and showcases the geographic diversity of South Carolina brewing.
