Ciclops Cyderi & Brewery

02/13/2026

We're on the road back to open, and we'll be better than ever. Just as you would have wanted it to be. We miss you, every day. But you are why we keep going, because you wanted something bigger than you, your heart, and we still want to honor that.

And, with this picture on the wall, we know you'll be here to see us keep our promise, every day. With every pour. With every absurd thing we'll do.

Did somebody say "merch"? Oh, I guess that was us!

"Brew day!": You will get one of these awesome shirts and get to help us brew our first non core beer at the location, during which we will provide you with lunch and some take home giveaway prizes! ($30)

"The Absurd treatment": This is the big one. With this you will get a guaranteed seat at our grand opening, one of these shirts, your first pint of beer for only a penny, take home prizes, 20% off of your food bill on the day of the grand opening, and you will be the first to know the official date. ($45)

We know it's been a (long) while, hope you haven't forgotten about us! We didn't think that on February 1, we still wouldn't have been open at our new location, but we're getting closer. As soon as we have an opening date, we will let you know.

Holden and others have been busy these past couple of days, getting ready for the move out. You probably can recognize the taps on the wall, but maybe not the kitchen or the cooler where the kegs were kept.

We would love for you to share your favorite stories about your time at 197 East Saint John. Whether the Tap House, or Ciclops, where you laughed, amazed, or even cried. And we'll share some of our own. This is all part of the transition to what we hope are even better and brighter days to come.

While we don't know exactly when we will open, we can be pretty certain that we will be open long before Krampusnacht! This year, it will be on Friday, December 5. Some traditions won't change...the 3 year sample flight of Krampus, lots of fun, and that Krampus will make his appearance during the evening!

We are looking for Krampus photos from the past! Please share if you have any! We'd love to have a full collection from all years' past!

In 2019, we brewed our first Eccentric Pterodactyl, an IPA that was made to be enjoyed by all beer drinkers, even those who don't like a traditional IPA. The grain needed to make that beer was paid for by member of the Mug Club, who wanted to honor loved ones who were lost or suffering from Alzheimer's. We made that beer again in 2021 and 2023, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Alzheimer's Association . We hope we can be open again in time to make it again this year. Ciclops remains a strong supporter of the mission, and hope that you will donate your time and money, with the nextAlzheimer's Association - South Carolina Chapter walk scheduled for October 25.

Truly humbled by the love and support received last night...by the brewing community, by the people of Spartanburg...by our Ciclops family. Only a handful of mugs were left on the wall at the end of the night. Memories were recalled, and made. Kegs were kicked. People sang. There was plenty of laughter, and yes, a few tears as well.

All because of a man who we all miss so dearly, even though we know that he was there with us last night. We couldn't see him, we couldn't hear him. But we all felt him. Kolby, you better put yourself in one of those fermenters and come with us to our new location. It won't be the same if you don't. You built this. You wanted to build something that was bigger than yourself, and somehow, you did.

Please...if you were there last night...send us your pictures! If you have a favorite picture from the past, send those! 197 East Saint John Street gave us all we had, and then some.

Thank you Spartanburg. Thank you Ciclops family. We will be able to welcome you again before you know it.

Last day open at 197 E. St. John Street. She gave us some great memories. We hope you can be a part of one more tonight!

The outside is looking great at 1097 Union Street, we can't wait to be able to show you the inside when it's further along.

Remember, Friday night, July 25 is the last night until the new location is ready in...August? September? We don't know quite yet.

Thursday: open until 9:30 PM
Friday: open at noon

Come celebrate our last days at the old location with us, and the days to come!

Just Thursday and Friday left at the current location.

Brief update on the new location at 1097 Union Street...going through a lot of paperwork and bureaucracy so everything is lined up when construction is complete so we can move in and get our inspection so we can open back up. Hoping it's in August, but we'll share pictures along the way.

Thursday - last trivia at 197 E. St. John St.
Friday - open from noon until 11. We won't be doing Peril, but we will do an old-fashioned "11 Questions" about Ciclops, Kolby style, at 7:01 PM. And we'll follow that up with our normal karaoke around 8:00 PM.

Lots of great memories in this old building...let's say goodbye in style!

07/22/2025

Last 4 days at our current location...don't be the one left standing outside?
Okay, this was July 4, 2024, but you get the idea. :)
Open from 4-9.
