Bright clean safe store. Knowledgeable staff. Always carry everything available. Always cheaper than McScrooges. Best place to shop in South Knoxville.

About as good as McScrooge’s but could be out of the way depending on where you are coming from. One of the best over six selections in Knoxville.

Decent selection. DFH, Chimay, some Rogue, Mendocino, Westmalle, Unibroue, a few italian saisons, and Great Divide. Great for the area and close to home for me. McScrooge’s has the same selection but with a few others.

Smoky Mountain Wine and Spirits is one of the larger liquor stores in Knoxville. It is located conveniently on 441 on the way into town from the east. They devote a decent amount of space to beer and have most of the stuff that comes through. I’d say McScrooge’s is the only store that clearly has a better selection, maybe Turkey Creek.

This is a pretty cool place. Convenient near the intersection with John Sevier Highway... They get some of the beers that don’t show up at all the other stores. I bought a Double Bastard here, actually. Staff seems at least reasonably knowledgeable.

Typical Knoxville liquor store, with 50 or so high abv (6%+) micro and import beers sold singly. DFH, Mendocino, Great Divide and maybe 10 others by the four or six-pack. Staff knows where the beer is located, which is better than most. They also keep about a dozen or so of the micros in a cooler display case. They have (for a while now) a giant (maybe 3L ?) Corsendonk that looks like it will age nicely and end up being given away for a song to some lucky customer. One thing I’ve noticed also is that whenever McScrooges gets a new beer, it usually shows up here too. Update June 2008: This store has been slowly getting a better selection of beers (maybe 75-100), as has McScrooges in West Knoxville. The staff also has now tasted many of the beers and can even tell you about them!
