Weekend Beer Runs: Small Town Tennessee 

One of the best things about our 2023 Tennessee Beer Adventure was getting out of the city and discovering the beautiful scenery and friendly small towns of the state. 

Bang for the buck, you get to visit more brewery more easily in the cities. In Nashville, Chattanooga, or Knoxville, you can easily walk to 6-7 breweries, many are within a short five minute walk from each other.

But getting to breweries in the rural parts of the state takes planning and effort. Some are close, but many can be an hour or more from another brewery. We hope you enjoy exploring our state and finding some great craft beer along the way.

Try these spots on your next weekend adventure.
