Pearce

Proprietor

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.

Brittany

Brand Manager

Brittany has been a part of the craft beer industry since 2015 and joined the Commonhouse crew in early 2020. Most days you're likely to find her behind the camera - filming fun behind the scenes moments in the brewhouse, making silly videos, capturing the Taphouse team in action, and taking many, many, many photos of beer. She didn't think it would be possible to have more photos of beer than of her dog, but alas, it is. With a background in non-profit management, and many years working with non-profit organizations at local tech company, Blackbaud, Brittany was especially excited to help launch and grow our unCOMMONly GOOD beer series that gives back to local community impact organizations.
Favorite Beer: Too many! But top 3 Publick Helles, Witherbeer, and Springbok Stout!
Love to Support: A few of the organizations Brittany loves to support are Park Circle Cares, Southern Tails for Precious Paws and The Boon Project.

Ryan

Taphouse Manager

A long-time lover of craft beer, Ryan has traveled the country visiting breweries for the past decade, collecting friends and stories along the way. During that time, he began homebrewing as a hobby and first joined the craft beer industry professionally in 2018. Outside of this industry, the majority of his career - until joining Commonhouse Aleworks in 2021 - was spent in the private security field, managing various teams and systems. Most would describe Ryan as someone that has never met a stranger. He has a passion and respect of life, community and all that craft beer can represent.
Favorite Beer: Haus Gold Helles…because, Prost! Gold Pass…”The look of it, the taste of it, the smell of it, the texture…I love gooollldd!"
Love to Support: Any which supports animals.

Harrison

Brewer

Harrison French is a brewer here at Commonhouse, he and his dog Chaco recently moved to Park Circle all the way from Minnesota. When he's not brewing beer you can typically find Harrison adventuring outdoors with Chaco. Whether it's running, hiking, camping, or paddleboarding, the two do just about everything together. Harrison is excited to be part of the Commonhouse team and hopes that you'll come have a beer! There's a pretty good chance you'll even see Chaco hanging out on the patio!
Favorite Beer: His favorite Commonhouse beer is White Point Lager - clean, crisp, and perfectly lagered, making it a great beer for any time of day.
Love to Support: Harrison enjoys sharing his love of Ultimate Frisbee with others. Back in Minnesota he gave back to the community by volunteering as a High School Ultimate coach through the Minnesota Ultimate organization. Now he hopes to get involved in coaching a local team here in Charleston!
