Angry Fish Brewing Co.

The Angry Fish Brewing Company is a young brewery in our town of Lexington, SC that was established in 2018 as the town's first commercial brewery.

Jim and I went sipped 2 flights of brews to get an excellent sampling. There is something for everyone here.

We were quite impressed. Our flights included the following.

Crescent Moon (American Wheat Beer with notes of citrus and banana) 
Wyse's Ferry Kolsch (light and crispy)
Main Vein Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout (milk stout that tastes and smells of                chocolate and peanut butter!)
Dutch Fork (Dunkel Weisse)
Murray Pineapple Kolsch
Top Sail Sour (black currant/banana)
Over the Yardarm BBA Chocolate Porter
Wessinger Island Wiesen Bock

We enjoyed them all which is rare for us! Their brews are only available here but can also be taken home in crowlers. I hope to see their offerings in local eateries some day!

The site is a hole in the wall. Completely non-pretentious and rustic. Quirky fishing theme decor is about the place like the suspended rowboat with skeletons.

A humorous nautical guide.

A simple bar where we sat with sports playing above.

There is no kitchen here however, they do have their own food truck outside. Food is available at different times so check their social media before you go! There is also live music certain nights as well.

The story behind the eccentric name goes as follows on their website:

"While fishing on Lake Murray, one of the brewers hooked a monster catfish with two red eyes. The catfish was put on a stringer (a line through the gills) and the fishing continued with a few more fish added to the stringer. The group decided to take a break and grab lunch, leaving all of the fish on the stringer tied to the dock.  Once they returned, the red-eyed catfish was gone!  One of the guys in the group said, “Wow, that was one angry fish,” and the name was born." 

If you go, the brewery is open:

Wednesday - Thursday 5pm - 10pm
Friday 5pm - 11pm
Saturday - noon - 11pm
Sunday 1pm -8pm
106 Fabrister Ln C, Lexington, SC 29072
 
Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val

  4. This looks like a fun place but I confess, I like my beer to taste like beer -- not fruity or flavored! Just nice and beerish!

    1. It is literally a hidden gem, easy to drive by! It is set back from the main road with minimal signage. We came across it online and read excellent reviews so we sought it out!
