Combined years of beer and business experience gives this brewery a recipe for success
Press Release:
Tradesman Brewing Co Adds New Partners to the Team Scott and Sara Gayle McConnell, founders of
Tradesman Brewing Company since 2014, have added new business partners, Ron and Heather Montano, as well as
Shawn and Heather Herman to their brewing business team. Both the Montanos and Hermans come from a wide
variety of business backgrounds that will complement the McConnell's brewery experience, formulating a great team
moving forward. The addition began taking place June 1, 2023.
The new partners had been searching for the perfect brewing business in the Charleston area for a couple of years and feel they found the perfect match. As Shawn stated, "Having great beer was a must in our decision making, and we've found that here. With Scott being the master brewer, and us able to be here to help with the business practices each day, he's solely able to focus on what he does best now brew great beer." Shawn and Heather were looking for a brewery they could learn with and bring their past experience forward, all within a place that was ready to grow and expand.
Scott and Sara Gayle started the Tradesman Brewing Company with a dream on a patio during the weekends brewing beer with friends that quickly morphed into their passion, which eventually became their business. "We are so excited the Herman family felt compelled to join forces. Together, we will continue to make #wellbuiltbeer," said Sara.
The new partnership isn't the only change that you'll be seeing at Tradesman Brewing. You can expect to see some cosmetic enhancements in and out of the taproom, refreshed branding, swag, TVs for sporting events, the Sunday Ticket, event stage for entertainment, new tap handles, production labels, public events, TouchTunes music kiosk, food trailer, online presence and more private event booking.
Tradesman has also hired Amanda Delpit as their General Taproom Manager and Event Coordinator. Amanda joins the force with 15 years of food and beverage experience and is excited to bring that experience to the employees and guests of Tradesman.
All owners look forward to the continued support of the community and appreciate all the positive feedback. They look forward to continuing to serve the community, along with the tourists of the Charleston area. Stop in and meet them any time - 1647 King Street Ext, Charleston.

PartiesStumbled upon this gem on a trip from MN. Great selection of beers with some really original takes on classics. Had a nice conversation with the owner about her take on brewing, and taps were served up by a real nice Southern gentleman working the bar. Cheers!
Good beer selection. Friendly staff. Super cool beer it forward system where you can get or buy someone of a certain trade a beer. Got a free beer for being a vet tech. Really cool idea!! So many trades up there too. Large seating area outside covered.
Held a 1st year survival as parents/1st birthday party here with our friends and it was great! They were very accommodating and friendly with all of our guests, they had beer or something for everyone's tastes, and it made for amazing memories. We will definitely be back as it's a family (and fur baby) friendly brewery and location!
One of my favorite breweries in Charleston. No frills, solid beer, and a cool atmosphere. Made out of old shopping containers there is plenty of seating, staff was very friendly even on a really dreary day. Would definitely recommend to any craft beer drinkers looking for a place to grab a pint!
Long time fan of this brewery going back to the first day they opened their doors on James Island. Now, in a much larger and more open space off of King Street Extension, where there's so much room to cool off inside or soak up the beautiful Charleston sunshine outside. Beer choices are abundant and the staff is super inviting. Here I'm enjoying a Welder's Agave Wheat. Go support them!
