Knoxville BrewFest

One of Knoxville’s premier beer events, BrewFest fills scenic World’s Fair Park with 100+ beers from regional and national breweries for an afternoon of sampling. It’s built for beer people — bring a designated driver or plan to walk it off around the park after, because the whole point is trying as many pours as you can reasonably manage.

World’s Fair Park is downtown and walkable from most Old City and Market Square spots, so it’s easy to make BrewFest the centerpiece of a bigger downtown day. Expect a sampling-glass format with lines at the more popular breweries, so scope your priorities early. A must for anyone who takes their beer seriously and wants to do it outdoors in the park.
