21 Best Craft Breweries in Knoxville

Barrelhouse by Gypsy Circus Brewery •
621 Lamar St, Knoxville

“I originally tried Gypsy Circus Cider while vacationing in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I liked it so much I wanted to try to find it in the stores. When I was unsuccessful with that, I didn’t check a lot of places, I searched online and found their distillery and tap room and it was on our way home. So we stopped to see and it was so much better than I expected. Brianna was our bartender and she was super friendly and helpful. She helped me pick out some flavors to try and I purchased some things to take home and share with my friends. I had a very good experience here and their ciders are delicious. I live 5 hours away, but I would make the trip to buy more cider and go back for their events.“

“Oh my pulled pork... I just had a religious experience at a brewery. Three words: birria grilled cheese. Tender, delicious, should be illegal. That Pit Boss BBQ though... it's possibly redefined BBQ sandwich for us. Parking sucks but its incredible and the service is top notch!“

Alliance Brewing Co Brewery • $
1130 Sevier Ave, Knoxville

“I’ve been coming to this brewery since I first moved to South Knoxville 7 years ago. It’s been a staple in South Knox for a good reason. From their ample selection of good beers (my husband loves their Kolsch) to their large outdoor patio space (fire pits, string lights, and tons of picnic tables), it is a great place to come and hang. This used to be our soccer bar but that’s since moved. However, that doesn’t stop us from coming by. The staff are super friendly and always are welcoming. Dog friendly indoors and outside, which makes this one of the few places you can bring your dog even on bad weather days. If you only have one weekend to check out Knoxville, this is a must visit!“

“The ordering is confusing with the brewery and an extreme lack of signs. The lady at the counter was friendly and courteous. The food was good, but a bit on the higher price for what you get, and you have to go to the bar for any and all drinks, including water or set tea.“

Yee-Haw Brewing (Knoxville) Brewery • $$
745 N Broadway, Knoxville

“I was excited to try the place but when they only give 1 small honey mustard with the "jumbo" chicken tenders and then tell you they have to charge $1 for another sauce then that's it for me. If you are that hard up for money then maybe you need to rethink your business plan. The beer was $7 for a pint. The menu was very limited. Prices are a bit high for what you get especially when sides are al a carte. For the prices they charge they should at least be able to provide an appropriate amount of sauce on the side. $1 for a small ramekin of honey mustard is a joke. The outdoor area looks great but it was too hot for us to enjoy yesterday. I'm sure it's enjoyable in the spring and fall. We won't go back because of the silly gouging sauce charge. There are plenty of great breweries around to choose from.“
