"An amazing brewery off the beaten track in Hartsville, SC, that punches far above its class. Perhaps the cleanest, crispest brews in the southeast, maybe the entire east coast. Maybe even the Midwest and west coast?!?I’m serious. Straightforward, honest brews including Lakeshore Light lager (5%ABV), Morning Song Japanese Rice lager (4.6%ABV), Namesake Hazy IPA (6.9%ABV), and seasonal Oktoberfest (5.8%ABV) that literally make you look at the (bespoke) glassware and wonder “is this beer really this insanely good?!” Oh, and don’t get me started on the food…handcrafted pizza from a genuine, Italian, wood fired oven, miso and chile pepper encrusted chicken wings as only a true southern restaurant can pull off, salads with local farm greens….amazing. Staff is courteous and caring. Atmosphere is casual and welcoming with a wide concrete bar, open kitchen, as well as indoor tables and ample outdoor seating. This is what “small town south” is all about. Did I mention that the 16 oz. pours average $6.50? What more can you ask for in 2023? Wild Heart Brewery is 100% worth the trip. I was going to give it 4 stars but then I couldn’t think of another local craft brewery (Burial in Asheville, Trillium in Boston) or mega brewery (New Belgium, Sierra Nevada) that was a better overall experience. 5 stars, emphatically!"
