About Gatlinburg Brewing Company
Gatlinburg Brewing Company brings together two things Smoky Mountain visitors love most: exceptional craft beer and seriously good pizza. This local brewpub stands out among Gatlinburg's dining options with its laid-back mountain vibe and spacious indoor-outdoor seating that's perfect for both sunny afternoons and cool evenings.
The brewing operation produces a rotating selection of craft beers, typically featuring 8-12 varieties on tap at any time. Beer enthusiasts can sample different brews through their flight options, while casual drinkers will appreciate the knowledgeable staff's recommendations. The taproom offers a front-row view of the brewing equipment, giving visitors a glimpse into the craft beer-making process.
Their pizza menu focuses on artisanal combinations, with hand-tossed dough and fresh ingredients taking center stage. The open kitchen layout lets you watch as pizzas make their way from prep to the wood-fired oven. It's an ideal spot for both lunch and dinner, whether you're refueling after a morning of hiking or settling in for an evening of local brews.
Like most Gatlinburg brewpubs, expect a casual, family-friendly atmosphere that welcomes both tourists and locals. The space fills up quickly during peak dinner hours and weekend afternoons, so consider arriving early or being prepared for a short wait during high season. The combination of house-brewed craft beer, quality food, and mountain town atmosphere makes Gatlinburg Brewing Company a reliable choice for visitors looking to experience the local craft beer scene while enjoying a satisfying meal.
