Columbia Welcomes Steel Hands Brewing’s New Adventure in Distilling
Columbia is buzzing with excitement as Steel Hands Brewing opens its doors to a new venture, officially launching their distillery in the heart of The Vista. Located at 705 Gervais Street, this place is set to become a hotspot for local lovers of craft beer and spirits alike. The grand opening marks a fresh chapter for Steel Hands, which started its journey back in 2018 in Cayce and has since become the largest production brewery in the Midlands.
Earlier this year, the team unveiled their plans to expand into distilling after previously branching out to North Carolina with a location in Greensboro in 2022. However, this time they wanted to try something different. With the aim of crafting small batches of spirits alongside their experimental craft beers, the idea blossomed into reality with the opening of their Columbia location.
A New Experience Awaits
“We’re thrilled to introduce our latest concept to our Steel Hands community of fans – Steel Hands Vista Distilling and Brewing is now open,” expressed Ashley Lambert, the Marketing Director for Steel Hands Brewing. “Venturing into craft spirits has been a longtime dream for our team, driven by our passion for live music and supporting aspiring singer/songwriters. We can’t wait for our fans to experience our new handcrafted spirits and discover a whole new way to enjoy our brands.”
As you step into the distillery, you’re greeted by beautiful art from local artists, showcasing the rich history of Columbia. The ambiance is further brought to life with tunes from artists featured in their popular Nashville Nights series, which took place over the summer at their original Cayce location. This musical connection makes Steel Hands Vista not just a place to grab a drink, but a true celebration of local talent.
Indulge Your Taste Buds
The menu at Steel Hands Vista is a delightful mix for anyone looking to try something new. Their handcrafted cocktails, like the Pumpkin Spice Martini and the Old Steel Fashioned, are made with premium spirits crafted right on-site. Each sip is a testament to their dedication to quality and flavor, perfect for enjoying with friends or unwinding solo.
If you find yourself feeling peckish, Steel Hands Vista offers a variety of tapas that highlight local ingredients, ensuring each dish is as flavorful as it is unique. From savory bites to sweet treats, there’s something for everyone. Not to worry if cocktails aren’t your thing; the venue also features a selection of Steel Hands beer, wine, and even some delightful mocktails.
