Commonhouse Aleworks, a well-known North Charleston taproom, has opened in the Charleston International Airport.

It has replaced the former Sam Adams Bar near Gate B5, and features a 1,250-square-foot restaurant and full bar, complete with six taps of locally sourced craft brews in addition to elevated pub fare and a new patio space, according to a news release.

The new restaurant will be operated by Delaware North, concessionaire partner of the CharlestonvInternational Airport.

“Our ethos centers on the celebration of what we all share in common,” said Pearce Fleming, proprietor and CEO of Commonhouse Aleworks, said in the release. “We’re elated to shepherd our community’s mentality here in North Charleston through our new occupation in the airport with locals and visitors alike. We can’t think of a better way to make an impression than through good company and conversation.”

Fleming and his team pride their practice as a brewery and gathering place on serving their communities through collaboration, fundraising, forum, and fellowship. A portion of proceeds from every Commonhouse beer sold at their flagship location is donated to community impact organizations.

“We are ecstatic about our partnership with Commonhouse Aleworks,” said Michael Blake, Delaware North’s onsite general manager and Charleston native, in the release. “Their dedication to North Charleston is unmistakable, and the passion they pour into maintaining exceptional brewing standards is evident with every pint.”

Commonhouse Aleworks in the Charleston International Airport is open daily from 4 a.m. to the last arriving flight. The flagship Commonhouse Aleworks is located in the Park Circle neighborhood of North Charleston, at 4831 O’Hear Ave., and is open Tuesday through Sunday.
