Sumter Original Brewery

Our story begins seventeen years ago when Gray Shuler started working in the beer industry and developed a passion for craft beer. During this time, he was afforded the opportunity to visit craft breweries around the US and developed his dream of being able to open up a brewery of his own one day.

Once Gray had a handle on the beer industry, he decided to work in local restaurants downtown and become enveloped in the revitalization of downtown Sumter. His work in the downtown area made him realize how important this section of town was to all of Sumter and how he wanted to continue the growth by opening up his brewery here.

Sumter Original Brewery is the very first brewery to open in Sumter and a huge catalyst for continued growth in the downtown area. This 30,000 sq ft facility has three stories, a 15-barrel brewing system, and will focus on brewing a diverse selection of quality craft beer.
