I had a tremendous selection while in the SF Bay area, not quite as much here, but not bad either. When we finish remodeling the house, the new wet bar will include a beer cooler with tap, and that will have one of the local microbrews in it most of the time.
In downtown Greenville there's Blue Ridge Brewing (1200 barrels a year), both a brewery and pretty good restaurant of moderate cost; excellent brews but they don't bottle. There's Thomas Creek (4000 barrels a year), who bottle several types from lager to their dark doppelbock, and about three inbetween. I've had the lager produced by Palmetto Brewing (4000 barrels per year) in Charleston, very crisp and refreshing in the bottle There's Highland Brewing up in Asheville, but I did't care for their output, at least not in the bottle.
