    Tidal Creek Brewhouse

    Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, United States

    Years ago, owners Dara and Adrian planted roots along a tidal creek on Daniel Island, SC. Every day, they relished all aspects of living on the water – from kayaking and relaxing by the firepit to braving the occasional hurricane that blows through. It was during one of these storms and hearing β€œplease evacuate if you live along a tidal creek” over and over again that the name β€œTidal Creek Brewhouse” was born! So, what’s a good brand name without an iconic symbol? Enter the fiddler crab! If there’s any wildlife to be seen on a tidal creek, it’s definitely the fiddler crab. Dara and Adrian’s yard is teeming with hundreds of them – which provide hours of entertainment for Argus, their curious Doberman – and so it became the perfect symbol for Tidal Creek Brewhouse. That’s why our iconic logo features the fiddler crab holding up hops – of course! LOWCOUNTRY AND COMMUNITY We greatly value our home, this community and the environment, which is why we built our Tidal Creek Brewhouse β€œhome” in this region and in this specific location. We love the Lowcountry culture and way-of-life, and we infuse it into everything we do.
