Crafty Bastard Brewery – West Knoxville

Crafty Bastard Brewery’s West Knoxville taproom is the brewery’s second Knoxville location, bringing its small-batch, experimental approach to a larger space in the western part of the city. The brewery is known for rotating through unconventional styles alongside recurring beers such as IPAs, with the West location offering 22 taps and regularly changing selections that can include sours, barrel-aged beers, cream ales, and specialty stouts. The larger taproom provides more room than Crafty Bastard’s original downtown location while maintaining the brewery’s casual, offbeat character. Food is available from Hole in the Wall Pizza, with pizzas made on site, and the West Knoxville location also serves wine and spirits. It is a useful option for visitors who want Crafty Bastard’s beer without heading into central Knoxville.
