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!

Sample at the Secret Stash Bash. Pours black, with a small, tan head. The aroma is chocolate and heavy roasted malts up front, with some cereals and caramel malts. The flavor is strong and bitter, light burned bread. Heavy palate, sticky, grainy, and clingy through the finish. Overall, I was disappointed. The aroma is great, but the flavor is one dimensional, and rather unpleasant.

On draught at Taco Mamacita. The beer pours a hazed orange color with a medium foamy off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium-bodied with a moderately bitter hops character and grapefruit and toasted malt flavors. The finish is hoppy with a citrus aftertaste. Decent overall.

Growler from Ale Yeah! Pours clear caramel with a medium, tan head. The aroma is caramel, dark bread, grain, hay, and molasses. The flavor is very sweet and malty, with a lot of bready yeast. The palate is light to medium, grainy, and a little astringent. Overall, this is a malty, delicious beer.

2011 Knoxville Brewer’s Jam. Light brown in color with an off-white head. Sweet malty aroma. Strange sweetness in the flavor that I can’t place. Re-rate: Growler. Deep copper with a tall, long lasting,sticky, off-white head. Good clean malt aroma, no hops. The flavor is sweet and malty, a little nutty in the finish. Better than I remembered.

Growler Dark copper body with a tall, creamy, off white head. The aroma has some earthy funky hops and mild citrus with a bit of pine in the back. Mildly bitter from start to finish with the underlying malt coming in at the end - reminds me more of a double IPA than IPA. Medium body. This seems to have a bit more kick to it than the 6% listed. Respectable local IPA.
