About Crafty Bastard Brewery
Crafty Bastard Brewery is the downtown Knoxville headquarters of a brewery that dates itself to 2014. The company describes its beer as deliberately unconventional, with small batch sours, hop-forward IPAs and other recipes that are meant to move beyond a fixed set of styles.
The downtown location has its own menu information. Crafty Bastard says this taproom carries the full draft lineup, uses a rotation of local food trucks and also serves food from St. Lucille's Kitchen, while the West Knoxville location has a different food setup.
The brewery keeps an event calendar that can be filtered by location and lists activities such as trivia, game nights and night markets. It also takes event inquiries through a Host Your Event section on its website.
