The latest renderings of Savage Craft Ale Works, the brewery + beer garden coming to West Columbia, were released by Studio 2LR this week.
The brewery was initially set to open in Summer 2019, but infrastructure issues + negotiations caused delays to their renovation process. Recently, they stated they’re now on track to open in May of 2020
Here are a few fast facts to catch you up on the addition to West Cola, along with some photos to get you excited.

Our favorite part? The fact that the brewery is in the River District (430 Center St., W. Columbia) – meaning all of this will be walking distance to some of our WeCo favorites, like Terra, Cafe Strudel, New Brookland Tavern, Black Rooster, the Riverwalk + more.
