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!

Solid schwarzbier, deeply roasted and chocolately yet still hanging on to noticeable lager esters. Starts with a mellow apple sweetness, then quickly picks up a smoky mocha middle before fading into a firm bitter finish. A bit thin, but otherwise a good beer.

Bit of a rough patch with my choices today. 3 Star has a noticeable diacetyl backbone, big and buttery, giving an unpleasant heft to the already-sweet corn character coming from the malts. Hops aren’t much of a factor, adding the slightest bit of citrus and pine but not enough to offset the sweet butter soul. Looks pretty, though.

Big, bittersweet DIPA, more of the latter than the former, with a heavy, syrupy caramel malt front tapering off into a massively IBU-packed back end. Orange-tinted hops provide a marmalade-slathered toast character, yet the hops are a bit medicinal in their piney aggressiveness, giving the beer an overly resinous finish. A bit astringent as well, the alcohol making its presence known both in the taste and feel. Need fine-tuning.

Strong earthy malts with a moderate caramel-brown sugar sweetness sliding into a bready Scottish back end. Mild bitterness on the finish, and the fade is sufficiently round and warm. Slight hints of butter, but a little butter never hurt nobody.
