Knoxville Area Brewers Association

Organized in 2015 by area breweries, retailers, and other craft beer-related businesses to be an inclusive association that is dedicated to pushing craft beer in the Knoxville area to new levels of success.

Our mission is simple: We exist to promote and develop the greater Knoxville craft beer culture.

Our members accomplish this by:

  • Brewing and serving high quality craft beer

  • Providing craft beer education to the community and industry

  • Acting as advocates on political and economic issues that impact our industry

  • Actively participating in community through charity work, economic revitalization, and supporting local business
