Our Talented Team

Pearce Fleming is an accomplished and award-winning homebrewer. In addition to his homebrewing experience, Pearce has completed the Institute of Brewing & Distilling’s General Certificate in Brewing exam. Outside of brewing, Pearce has served in healthcare administration, been responsible for leading one of the largest healthcare consultancies in the country, as well as developed multiple quality, education, and wellbeing technology platforms serving patients, providers, insurers, and employers. Pearce’s family roots lie in rural South Carolina and the mountains of western North Carolina. He was often entertained in his youth by his Grandaddy’s stories of running shine from his home in the mountains to the state capital of Raleigh to help with expenses while attending North Carolina State University. His grandfather always laughed about the time he was caught and hauled in front of the school’s disciplinary board, saying, “little did the President of the University know that nine of the ten people on the board were my regular customers.” True to form, Pearce’s father’s first words when told of the plan for Commonhouse, “Well, you know you’re going to have to pay the Revenuers their due.”
Favorite Beer: While I love all of our beer, you are most likely to find me enjoying one of our hop forward offerings, especially our West Coast IPA, Looking East.
Love to Support: Pearce has a number of favorite charities, including the Charleston Trident Urban League, Tri It For Life, Park Circle Cares and many others.

Matt joined the Commonhouse team in 2023 with over a decade of experience in the beer industry. He’s the master of spreadsheets and keeps all front and back of house operations running smoothly. A native of Connecticut, he’s called Charleston home for 7 years and when he’s not at the brewery you can find him enjoying bikes, boats, beers, and spending time with his family.
Favorite Beer: Looking East.
Love to Support: A lover of bully breeds and dog dad to Mr. Gibbes, he supports any and all animal organizations.

Andrew is our Head Brewer and resident Aussie. He studied at the Siebel Institute and has brewed all over the country from Big Top Brewing in Pensacola, Florida to Stone Brewing out on California. When not running the brewhouse you can find him out spending time with his wife & dog!
Favorite Beer: The next one we make…or Looking East…or Wonders Way.
Love to Support: Andrew has spent time volunteering with many organizations around Charleston, from those supporting food insecurity to animal shelters.

Sean has being in craft beer for 6 years and almost half of that time here at Commonhouse! From Sean, “I love the brewing industry community, it feels like one big family.” Sean is our resident sports guy, definitely pop in for a beer and chat with him about his beloved San Francisco 49ers, Boston Red Sox and Chicago Bulls. What’s better than a cold Commonhouse Beer and a Niners win!
