Grape & Grains/ Shoeless Brewing Co. Claim this business

About

Two businesses share one address on Mauldin Road, and that mix is the whole appeal. Grape & Grains is the supply side, stocked with equipment, ingredients, and CO2 for anyone making beer, wine, or mead at home. Shoeless Brewing Co. is the taproom side, where small-batch beer is brewed on site and there's usually something new pouring. You can gear up for a home batch or just grab a chair and drink, and plenty of people do both. It started in 2015 as a hangout for Greenville's homebrew crowd, and that community bent still runs through the place. There's a mug club, a garden club, and one-on-one classes where you pick what you actually want to brew instead of following a script. Custom wines for a wedding or anniversary are part of it too, and dogs are welcome at a table as long as they're friendly and leashed. What regulars keep coming back for is the old-fashioned, walk-you-through-every-step service, with the IPAs drawing the loudest praise. It has quietly earned a reputation as one of the Upstate's best-kept secrets, the kind of place people stumble onto and then never stop recommending. Which pour becomes your usual is something you sort out one small batch at a time.
