About Gatlinburg Brewing Company (Sevierville)
You do not have to fight the Gatlinburg Parkway for a Gatlinburg Brewing Company beer. The brewery has a second taproom in Sevierville at 870 Winfield Dunn Parkway, Suite 4, on the main road between Pigeon Forge and Sevierville's shopping district. It is the easier place to park and sit down, with the same cheerful beer names and a draft list that is slightly different from the Gatlinburg board.
The beer
The Sevierville beer page lists a wide range. G.P.A. is a session IPA, Gatty Light is an American golden ale, Breakfast Juice is a Mountain Haze IPA, and Don't Feed The Bears is an American brown ale. You will also find Smoke on the Lager (a smoked Vienna lager), Molly Bock (a bock lager), The Philsner (a Czech pilsner), Passionfruit Wit (a wheat ale) and Roast Malone, a coffee blonde ale.
The list also includes more unusual pours: Laverne & Purr-ly is a French saison with apricots, Bock Bock Bee-otch is a bock lager with barrel-aged honey, and Tiki Time is a sour ale. For people who do not drink beer, there are seltzers, a Wild Basin hard seltzer, ciders under the Cide Chicks name, craft cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic options that include four N/A beers, soft drinks, juice and water.
Hours and shows
According to the locations page, the Sevierville taproom is open noon to 9pm Sunday through Thursday and noon to 11pm Friday and Saturday. The company's homepage advertises live shows at this location, so look at the site before you go if you want a quiet evening. The phone number is (865) 365-1170.
Food
The beer page does not list food, but the brewing company's menu page is the place to check what the kitchen is serving. Call ahead if you have dietary needs or if you want to confirm a kitchen time.
Why choose Sevierville
- Parking is simpler than on the Gatlinburg Parkway.
- It is a handy stop when you are driving to or from Knoxville or the airport.
- The calendar includes live events, so it can be a destination for the evening and not just a quick drink.
- The taproom pairs well with the Apple Barn Village or the shops and attractions along the Winfield Dunn corridor.
- Closing time is earlier than at the Gatlinburg location, so do not plan a very late night here.
A tip on the lineup
The beer list is long, and some entries are marked as seasonal or limited. Ask the bartender for a recommendation based on what you like. If you cannot decide, start with a lighter beer such as Gatty Light or The Philsner, and then pick something stronger.
The site does not describe a kids menu or family policies, so call before you bring children.
