Craft malt movement arrives in Charleston, adding ‘Carolina flavor’ to area breweries

At Low Tide Brewing on Johns Island, beers have been infused with basil, honey and watermelon, which are grown a few miles down the road.

Among the lengths its owners have gone to source local ingredients, they once asked a group of kayakers about the succulent-looking thing they were snacking on. The sea-beans collected at a nearby marsh were later added to a sour beer.
