Back Where It All Began: West Ashley & Ale & Octane – Our Homegrown Car Culture
Ale & Octane May 2023
If you’ve been following Steel & Style, you already know we’ve been everywhere—from massive convention halls to movie-lot-level builds—but let’s not forget where we cut our teeth.
West Ashley Cars & Coffee July 2023
We’re talking about West Ashley Cars & Coffee and Ale & Octane at New Realm Brewery—two of Charleston’s premier car culture staples. These are more than just events. They’re community. They’re consistency. And for us, they’re home turf.
Ale & Octane January 2024
We’ve walked these lots. We’ve seen the local legends. We’ve captured builds that turned into cover cars—and every time we come back, the bar gets raised a little higher.
West Ashley Cars & Coffee June 2024
From bare-metal rat rods to clean-cut customs, the level of creativity at these events never disappoints. Whether it’s a dog on a blanket next to a vintage Ford or a hand-painted tank on a slammed motorcycle—Charleston brings character to the concrete.
