Pretentious Beer Co

Another gem on this street corner. Between Merchants and Pretentious, this is the corner to hit if you've just got a short time here. Pretentious is super dog friendly, patio outside has heaters, their beer selection is great, delicious, and varied. The folks are so friendly and the patio seating is ample and comfortable without feeling cramped and crowded. The glass blowing demo area is really awesome too. I love the detail they put into their beer presentation: making custom glasses for each of their beers. Great touch.

One of the most unique breweries I've ever been to and am so happy that it is in Knoxville. Their beers are always unique and as an added bonus you can watch them blow glass next door. The inside is pretty small and honestly during the extreme weather times, it stops me from going there because I don't want to sit outside, but when the weather is nice, their patio is really comfortable. Cody is a wonderful bar manager and has definitely added the little something it was missing when he joined the team.

Love the vibe this brewery has! A chill taproom with lots of plants, good music and good people. There’s no food so plan accordingly but we really enjoyed sipping a beer here (they also have a cool patio in the back of the building) and people watching. Highly recommend making this a stop on your Knoxville adventure!
