Abridged Beer Company – Bearden Brewpub

Abridged Beer Company’s Bearden Brewpub is a Knoxville brewery and restaurant housed in a converted 1950s-era auto garage. Beer is brewed on site, with a lineup spanning traditional styles and more contemporary approaches, while views into the brewing area connect the taproom to production. The kitchen complements the beer with pub fare shaped by Southern influences, making the Bearden location as much a restaurant as a brewery stop. Its industrial setting, neighborhood focus, and food-and-beer pairing define the experience. Families and dogs are welcome, and the brewpub is designed for casual visits with friends or a meal alongside a pint. For visitors exploring Knoxville breweries, it offers a full brewpub experience rather than a taproom-only format.
