Joshua KerstingThe beer is absolutely great. But, as a legitimate business, they're kind of hit or miss. The hours are not regular, closing often for events despite having "posted hours, " on top of "brewery hours". This really sucks if you Uber all the way across town just for their beer only to find it inaccessible, again. Stick to Southern Hops and Local Motive if you're looking for a consistent good time. But if you're there and they're open and actually serving customers, drink the beer. It's great.

Justin Haigler⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Absolute Gem in Florence, SC! I was in Florence, South Carolina, helping my niece move into college, and as I was leaving the area for the weekend, I happened to drive past Seminar Brewing Company. I decided to stop in, and I am SO glad I did! I honestly had some of the most amazing beer and BBQ I’ve had in a very long time! 🍺🔥 The bartending staff was outgoing, welcoming, and absolutely amazing. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, as well as the history of Seminar Brewing and Elliott’s BBQ. That kind of service really makes a place stand out. I had the three-rib plate with pulled pork and three other sides, and topped it all off with their homemade pound cake. Let me tell you… I haven’t had pound cake that good since my mother was alive! ❤️ That alone brought back some wonderful memories. Seminar Brewing Company is truly an amazing local spot. The food is fantastic, the beer is excellent, and the service is second to none. I would honestly return just for the service alone but the food and beer are an absolute must-have! If you’re anywhere near Florence, SC, do yourself a favor and stop by Seminar Brewing Company. You won’t regret it! Keep up the great work, Florence, SC! You’ve got a real gem here. 🍺🍖❤️
