Description
The finest German-style beer in the southeast flowed from the taps of the Chattanooga Brewing Company at the turn of the 20th century — that is, until Prohibition forced the brewery’s founding son, Charles Reif, to shutter the family business.

Nearly a century later, two crafty engineers brought together by their mutual love for beer embarked on an adventure to brew something great in the city they both love. With that, a new chapter for Chattanooga Brewing Company commenced, one rooted in the German-style ales and lagers that put its namesake on the map over 100 years ago.

Today, we continue to celebrate the pints poured before us, all while brewing a line of classic and specialty beers. We pride ourselves on serving food that’s as thought-out as our brews, using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.

Visit us in Chattanooga’s historic Southside and sample our beer or have a meal with friends. Bring your dog and hang out in our beautiful outdoor Biergarten, or join us on a Tuesday evening for Brewga, a yoga class and a pint of your choice. And don’t forget to stop by before or after a Chattanooga FC match! We’ll be cheering on the boys in blue alongside the Chattahooligans, and toasting with our deliciously drinkable Chattahooligan Kölsch!

Tap. Dark amber in color. Aroma was roasted cereal. Taste was a tad more hops then one would expect, toast and grains almost like a dark Mai Bock.

Pretty nice little stout, with notes of bittersweet chocolate, dark roast coffee, roast, and a hint of caramel, laced with cascara and a dry, bitter finish, maybe a little pine. Good pint.

Very clever idea to age a doppelbock in a rum barrel; the toffee and dark fruit notes of the bock meld effortlessly with the vanilla and dark sugar sweetness of the rum, paying off in waves of brûléed banana, vanilla, and spice cake. Finishes with a firm vein of oak balancing out the sweetness. Best beer I’ve had from CBC.

Easygoing coffee ale, with a moderate java note mixed with hints of citrus and cascara, followed by a slight roasty bitterness on the finish. Dry and clean on the fade. Not bad.

Lots of pine with an underlying vein of chive and wet vegetation, citrus pith and a skosh of caramel sweetness. Seems like there’s a touch of smoke on the back end followed by a firm bitterness. Decent.

Lots of caramel and toasted bread, backed up by mild notes of apple and an underlying nuttiness. Finishes with a touch of floral bitterness. Okay.

Straightforward, but also lacking character. Notes of biscuit and dark fruit are fleeting; modest breadiness in the middle leads to a moderate bitterness on the finish. Seems undercarbonated. Eh.

Malty and rich as a good doppelbock should be, with alternating notes of caramel, cocoa, dried fruit, and toasted bread. Finishes with a modest bitterness and lingering hints of molasses. Nice pint.
