Peak Drift Brewing Company and Columbia Craft Brewing Company, award-winning craft beer companies based in Columbia, SC, have joined forces under the establishment of a new parent company for regional breweries, Craft Brew Inc. The formation of this company will strengthen the craft beer industry in the Midlands and throughout South Carolina.

Craft Brew Inc. was formed through joint efforts from both brewery management teams and was established to be a holding company of multiple brands. It will serve as a one-stop shop for craft breweries and beverage companies that want to scale up their production, directly print their cans in-house and utilize resources within a family of brands where economies of scale are created.

“Peak Drift is forming strategic partnerships for long-term success,” says Jordan Styles, owner and chief executive officer, Peak Drift. “We are committed to industry collaboration and the creation of Craft Brew Inc. will help cultivate the security of craft beer in South Carolina.”

Currently, Craft Brew Inc. distributes products state-wide in South Carolina and exports to the United Kingdom.

“We’re thrilled to be a part of the Craft Brew Inc. family and we look forward to growing our footprint and creating amazing products for craft beer enthusiasts everywhere,” says Richard Strauss, former managing member, Columbia Craft. “This partnership will further develop the region and industry by continuing to position South Carolina as a leader in producing award-winning craft beer.

Peak Drift’s partnership with Columbia Craft started in 2023, when Peak Drift began partner brewing select Columbia Craft beer at its 25,000-square-foot production facility. As Craft Brew Inc. continues to expand its family of brands, the individual brand identities of the breweries and management teams will remain in place. Columbia Craft will continue to operate its taproom located at 520 Greene Street in Columbia.
