Just ok food and average beers doesn’t make this place a winner in my book. The IPA is decent but I’d pass on almost all of the rest. Prices are decent.

Definitely a more comfortable setting than the Gatlinburg brewery. It’s pretty laid back, even when busy, and there are televisions freakin’ everywhere. Happy hour is a good deal, and the food is reasonable. The beer can be hit or miss, but there’s some decent enough stuff to sit down for a few pints. Oh, they have wine and other beers, too, if you would want that for some reason.

Easy to find location on a corner of strip mall on side road. Clean inside with square wood bar on left and tables on right. Brewing operations behind glass behind tables. Freindly service with good knowledge of selection of 8 taps on the day I was there. All beers average drinkable. Good food menu and the small pizza was a good portion and very good spicy flavor. I enjoyed the visit.

Well, The beers here were not the best in the world, but i guess its better than Bud. Food was extremely greasy. Had to use a napkin on the pizza. I did enjoy the chance to try new beers and they prices were reasonable

This is the better of the two locations in Sevier County. It’s newer and isn’t falling apart. The bar is better staffed and arranged to provide more efficient service while being seated here. The manager is a great guy and he always keeps me up to date on seasonals and special offerings when he can. This is about the only place to get an actual beer in Pigeon Forge/Sevierville and it’s also the cheapest. Happy hour = pints for less than $2.00 and they’re normally around $3.50. That’s quite low for this tourist town. The beer isn’t anything to be excited about, it’s mostly German style lagers and the like, but it is really nice to have a little taste of beer culture in this hillbilly tourist trap. Oh, by the way, I’ve noticed that their bottling process or perhaps bottle storage isn’t so great. Most of the beers have a noticeable deteriation in quality when served from the bottle, and we’re not exactly starting with the best beer in America in the first place. If I want to hit a bar at night in Sevier county, this is the only option.
