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!

5.9/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 4 Texture 8 Overall 4.5
Very acidic, almost distractingly so, with sharp berry and coffee cherry notes against unsweetened cocoa and a dark-roast bitterness. Mild vanilla sweetness surfaces in the fade, but the lingering acidity isn’t all that welcome. Decent, but in need of fine-tuning.

Very yeasty kolsch, lots of white bread and lemon on top of grain and toasted corn, finished off with a lingering sourdough tang. Very carbonated, very light, very basic kolsch. Eh.

Straightforward American wheat ale, heavy on the grass with a husky graininess and backed by hints of clove, lemon, and pencil shavings. Mild herbal bitterness on the back end works well with the citrus notes, and the woody finish mixes with yeast for a white bread fade. Creamy texture makes for easy drinking. Not bad, but seems like a beer named after Wayne White should be some big, trippy, whacked-out shit.

On tap at Chattanooga, pours a hazy bright golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle floral dry hopping, light saison yeast and restrained esters. Flavour is along the same lines, with floral notes and saison yeast. Totally inauthentic, but it's drinkable.

On tap at Chattanooga, pours black with a small light brown head. Aroma brings out cocoa powder upfront, with light toast and chalky earthiness. Flavour reveals lactose, cocoa powder and a gentle toasted malt base. Milky palate, with the lactose sweetness dominating. Decent.

On tap at Chattanooga, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops, with a slight herbal and earthy character, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour reveals herbal hops upfront, with toasted bready malt and a touch of sweet caramel. A bit too herbal - not the best hop expression. It's okay.

On tap at Chattanooga, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out toasted malt, light earthiness and a bit of caramel. Flavour is cloyingly sweet, with medicinally sweet caramel, cough syrup, and bready malt. Way too syrupy and sweet. Not good.
