Message lithy beers 2996 º places 156 º 16:50 Tue 3/30/2010 http://probrewer.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=16841 Just found this, I haven’t seen anything else about it. Anyone else know anything? I don’t know much about NKBCs equipment since I didn’t get into beer until they were gone, but I know they used open fermentors, I wonder if it is in the same space with the same equipment. Anyway, um, yay a new brewery for Knoxville!
Message Suttree P beers 7121 º places 260 º 17:22 Tue 3/30/2010 The part about brick enclosed fermenters sounds familiar. I would be surprised if it was not in the NKBC space.
Message tronraner beers 2459 º places 109 º 17:22 Tue 3/30/2010 Cool. I was just talking about the unused NKBC facilities a few days ago. Hopefully they can manage to make beer that does not suck. Anyway, he gives his email address in the post. Who wants to be that guy who sends the curious beer geek email?

Message SpringsLicker beers 4000 º places 158 º 16:14 Fri 4/9/2010 The Italian bottling system is the clincher. God that thing is horrible! It breaks bottles, it jams, it hides infectious stuff in it’s crevices. I’ve spent many a day in there on bottling day. I’m glad they changed the name though, "New Knoxville" was doomed. Calling Erway, Facto!
Message MarbleCityBeer 06:34 Mon 4/12/2010 Wow, we didn’t realize that one little classified would kick off this sort of interest! We hope this means that we were right in thinking there’s a huge pent-up desire for a Knoxville packaging brewery. We’ll have our website with more information up shortly. Until then, you are welcome to contact either Adam or me (johnathan.borsodi@marblecitybeer.com)with any questions, beer-geek or otherwise. As to speculation: Adam is from Chicago (not Washington), and yes, this is going to use (at least at first) the old NKBC equipment. We are so excited to be involved in this, and can’t wait to get our first beers to our community!

Best of luck, and I can confirm that I, for one, am ready for a new packaging brewery in Knoxville...
