Locally owned. Veteran built.
Three Citadel graduates built a house in Charleston's brewery district that feels like family and still takes the work seriously. Kids, dogs, veterans, classmates, and anyone who wants a pint in a clean house.
Why Over The Horizon,
and why 181.
Over the horizon is a military term, and it points at two things. When you transition out of the military you are considered over, or beyond, the horizon. It also describes operations beyond the line of sight: a place that is hard to recognise until you get up close, a destination you seek and rarely ever make.
181 is 180 degrees plus one degree over the horizon. It is meant to be a little silly. It is also homage. The mark is a straight line with a circle, the sun on the horizon, rising or dropping, and that circle is the degree symbol too. When a guest points at 181, that is this house.
Three Citadel graduates.
Veteran-owned, established in the brewery district in downtown Charleston. The room is family on purpose.
James Browning
Twenty-two years in the Army, and the reason Challenge Accepted, Challenge Returned lives in this building rather than on a plaque in a hallway.
Chris Houston
Two decades owning and running bars in Charleston, and the standard that experience sets, brought into the brewery.
Scotty Sheriff
Brought the beer. Everything on the board was made in this building.
A taproom and a living
museum at the same time.
Challenge Accepted, Challenge Returned lives in this brewery, and it is not decoration. Guests can read the stories, see the memorabilia and leave a challenge coin. Those stories matter to the person who lived them and to everyone else in the room.
Nobody has to give a speech. You do have to know why the walls look the way they look.
Under one roof
The brewhouse
Tanks behind the bar, and the beer poured a few steps from where it was made.
Three Amigos Cantina
The kitchen on the premises, open as long as the bar is.
The private room
Its own room off the taproom for parties, dinners and team nights.
The patio
Picnic tables, turf and palmettos, with room for the kids to run.
