Where Chattanooga drinks local: brewpubs, taprooms and the new wave.
Taprooms, brewpubs and the local beer scene in Chattanooga worth taking a tram to.
Chattanooga Brewing Co revives a pre-Prohibition city brewing name on Chestnut Street, pouring Chattahooligan Kolsch and Incline IPA with pub food.
TipClosed Monday. The Chestnut Street hall sits two blocks from the Choo Choo end of downtown, easy before a Lookouts game.
Hutton & Smith Brewing Co names its beers for geology on MLK Boulevard in Chattanooga, an on-belay taproom pouring Igneous IPA to climbers off the crag.
TipNamed for the fathers of modern geology; the Good Schist grapefruit ale is the session order after a Stringers Ridge ride.
OddStory Brewing Company pours fairy-tale-branded ales at its Central Avenue brewery in Chattanooga, backed by a 10,000 square foot outdoor beer garden.
TipA brewing fixture since 2016; the Greenhouse satellite taproom on MLK Boulevard covers the downtown end with the same beers.
WanderLinger Brewing Company brews on Station Street in Chattanooga with a full kitchen and a live stage, running beer hall energy most nights of the week.
TipKitchen closes an hour before the bar; Friday and Saturday it runs to 02:00, latest brewery close in the city.
Five Wits Brewing Company runs a story-themed brewery and kitchen on Long Street in Chattanooga's Southside, with weekend doors opening at 08:00.
TipWeekend mornings open at 08:00 for coffee and breakfast before the taps, unusual for a brewery; food last call an hour early.
Mad Knight Brewing Company pours small-batch beer from a basement taproom on Tennessee Avenue in St. Elmo, Chattanooga's take on the neighbourhood nano.
TipIt sits on the same Tennessee Avenue strip as Little Coyote, a block south; look for the downstairs entrance and check social feeds before a special trip.
TailGate Brewery Chattanooga fills a four-storey historic building on Market Street with 30 taps of its Nashville-brewed beer and craft pizza.
TipThe beer is brewed at TailGate's Nashville facilities; this taproom's draw is the tap breadth, pizza kitchen and rooftop level.
