Chattanooga Brewing Company

Large brewery in an industrial area, apparently also near a football stadium. In COVID times, it was pretty quiet. There is outdoor seating and a lot of space indoors, TVs, sports bar atmosphere. It was very dark inside and pretty quiet (not sure how things are in non COVID times though). Beers were good - had an NEIPA, habanero lager, winter ale, and doppelbock - all solid. Typical pub food, slightly limited menu with sandwiches mostly. I got a hummus plate, which was delicious, and chili, also really good. So definitely worth a stop. Atmosphere was a bit odd, but I'm chalking it up to COVID times.

Nicely set-up tasting room with plenty of bar seating, as well as long tables. 8-10 taps, with flights of 5 available for a pricy $14 - not reasonable given the basic and not very well-executed styles on offer. We had lunch here too, as they had some vegan options. Wasn't super impressed, as everything was very salty. Very friendly service though. Not a great stop beer and food quality-wise, but it's a fun, comfortable and inviting place to hang out.

Next to football stadium in semi-industrial area but more or less walking distance from the centre. Cool newish building. Tanks visible. Flights available, ok service. Beers in good condition although not super interesting.

A very cool and nice building. Easy to park across the street on a Friday afternoon. Good service. But the beer was really mediocre and the food not thought out. I wanted to like this place since it would give me a nice stopover on the way to Atlanta, but I didn’t.

All new building in a nice easy access location. Parking was easy on a Thursday night. Average bar with plenty of table seating. Mostly large tables. Selection of beers is much broader than before. Live music on Thursdays. WIFI. Knowledgeable staff. If you haven’t been you should go.

CBC has moved into a a MUCH bigger new location since the majority of these reviews were written. They are now right across the street from UTC’s football stadium. The new place is two levels with plenty of seating. They offer food, but I haven’t had it so I can’t comment. The beer here is good, and last time I was there they had 11 brews on tap. I’ve probably had 15 or so of their beers at various times, and I’ve never had a bad one, although a lot of them are pretty standard examples of popular styles. You can also find their stuff on draft at lots of other places around town, but if you’re in Chattanooga and into craft beer, you definitely need to check this place out.

Located directly across from a stadium, this 2010 brewpub features excellent bar food along with reliable and diverse beer offerings. Nothing extreme on tap at the time of my visit, and no truly exceptional beers, but every offering (and I tried 10 of the 11 on tap) was good or better. Beers were divided about 50/50 between seasonals (or one-offs?) and regulars. Attentive, friendly service. Seating is available at a bar, at tables on two levels, and on an upper patio. Update: with two more visits, it’s clear they have new beers rotating in, however the one barrel aged brew on the menu on my most recent visit was out and had not been replaced with anything else O: worth visiting for sure.

Very much a hole in the wall. They do drafts and growler fills with about 5-6 taps going. They have very limited hours available to the public and most of the beers on tap are available all over town, so bottom line no reason to go here unless you happen to be in the area during the time they happen to be open. Beers are good and employees are friendly!

Stopped in last night before grabbing dinner across the street at Brewhaus. Small little tap room that is part of the working brewery. 5 beers on tap, and the 3 that I had were pretty solid. Especially the stout I had. Sell growlers, pints, and samples. Cash only. Only open Friday through Sunday. Worth a quick stop.
