Crafty Bastard Brewery

Helping to lead Knoxville's charge to compete with Asheville's beer scene, this scrappy brewhouse opens its garage doors to create an indoor/outdoor scene that often includes live music and sometimes even pick-up basketball games. It's all washed down by a selection of small-batch brews heavy on sours and hoppy IPAs. There's a second taproom on the west side of town ( 9937 Kingston Pike)
