Last Days Of Autumn Brewing Brewery • $
808 E Magnolia Ave, Knoxville

“I'm glad I chose this place for a quick bite to eat and a beer. Nick the bartender learned your name and called you it throughout your visit. Being from Tampa, I ordered the Tampa Cuban and was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. In fact, better than a lot I have had in Tampa. I will definitely make it a point to go back if I'm ever in town again.“

Elst Food Truck Brewery •
2419 N Central St, Knoxville

“We are new to the area and one of the first things we bought was a Hop Passport for Tennessee. Glad we did! First stop was at Elst Brewing in Knoxville, Tn. On a Friday it opened at noon so we only waited a few minutes. Outside seating area was clean and they had a food truck ,be used after 5:30 in the day. Brunch on Sunday. With the place to ourselves I explored and asked a lot of questions about the beers and other offerings. They had their own and others on tap or canned. I would highly recommend stopping here and we will be back! My son in law and daughter got a flight, also a Coffee Lager. I got the Vanilla Milk Shake Ale, and my spouse got the Elst Brown. We all tasted the flight of course. Also we loved it enough we bought two Ales to go!“

Albright Grove Brewing Company Brewery • $
2924 Sutherland Ave, Knoxville

“Great atmosphere. Upstairs and downstairs seating. Upstairs has darts. Outside seating as well for those with dogs. Beer selection was decent. Tried a flight with an IPA, cellar beers, and helped. They were ok just not the best I have ever had. IPA tasted the best, could really taste the hops and grain notes. Helles was a little bland in taste. They do offer snacks. Parking behind building and is free.“

“Madi Gras was epic here. Kids made beads and masks. Just perfect. Family, single, couples or groups no matter the size this brewery caters to all. 2 rooms. Plenty of board games. TVs for your enjoyment. The best part was the mixologists. They can serve a good drink and actually care about your experience. Prices are reasonable. Their own brewery on site. Any employee you ask is so happy to answer any questions. they show that they want to work there. That says a lot for today. We will definitely make this a normal place to chill. Cheers“

“Beers are great and glasses are beautiful. We drove all the way here just to taste the beer. I have been drooling over the beautiful glasses on Instagram for years and wanted to see what beers inspired their unique look. The beer tender was laid back and very friendly. He was extremely knowledgeable about the beer and the glasses. He recommended beers that were delicious and it was a great time. We will definitely go back when we have more time to spend and when the glass shop is open. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“This is a really cool German brewery/restaurant in a building that looks like a castle. They have a regular inside part, but they also have a Bier garden part where you can order food like you're at a fair and eat outside. The food was delicious. The only real issue is that they don't have a parking lot, so finding a place on the street to park can be difficult.“
