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!

Tastes closer to a session IPA, but the ABV says otherwise. In dire need of heftier malting regardless; big dose of juicy hop fruitiness offers up big grapefruit, lemondrop and stone fruit veins, but a pilsner-ish weak malt front lacks balance, leaving the hops nothing to play off of. Grows a tad vegetal on the back end, until a floral-piney bitterness leads to a weak fade. Good feel, creamy and full, and the nose is a bouquet of all the hop goodness you want. Needs fine-tuning.
