Forged by Passion, United by Craft

At Steel Hands, we set out to create more than just drinks; we forged a brand that brings people together. Founded on the principles of quality, consistency, and community, our mission has always been to create unforgettable experiences through both our craft beer and our newly introduced spirits.

Our Journey

Cayce: Where Steel Hands Brewing Began

Steel Hands Brewing started in Cayce, South Carolina, with a vision to produce the highest quality craft beer while creating a destination for community and connection. As one of the top production breweries in South Carolina, we pride ourselves on delivering award-winning brews, year after year.

Our newest venture in Columbia’s historic Vista District introduces a unique opportunity to combine brewing and distilling under one roof. With this location, we’re pushing boundaries, brewing experimental beers and distilling small-batch spirits in the heart of downtown.

Inspired by the music we love

At Steel Hands Vista, our devotion to live music runs deep. Situated in Columbia’s vibrant Vista District, we honor the spirit of singer-songwriters—both local South Carolina talent and Nashville artists who journey here to share their sound. Our spaces come alive with the music of those who’ve graced our stage, and our distillery walls feature guitars and signed vinyls from past performances. Here, the music we love isn’t just played; it’s celebrated and woven into every pour.

More Than a Taproom, a Place to Connect

Every Steel Hands location is more than a taproom or distillery—it’s a community. Whether you’re enjoying a live music performance, a special release event, or simply relaxing with friends, you’ll feel the connection that we’ve nurtured from the beginning. At Steel Hands, we believe in creating spaces that foster creativity, craft, and connection.
