Some Crafty, Beer-Loving Bastards.
At Crafty Bastard Brewery, we embrace the unconventional, celebrate creativity, and serve up damn good beer while we’re at it. Born in Knoxville, Tennessee, we’re a fiercely independent craft brewery that’s just as bold and original as the name implies. Our mission? To make beer that surprises you—in the best possible way. Whether it’s a small-batch sour, a hop-loaded IPA, or something completely off-the-wall, we’re not afraid to push boundaries and challenge expectations.
But we’re more than just the beer. Crafty Bastard is a community hub, a haven for craft lovers, and a home for misfits and makers alike. From our taproom regulars to first-time visitors, we welcome everyone with the same irreverent spirit that launched us in the first place. Come for the creativity, stay for the camaraderie—and enjoy a pint that’s anything but ordinary.
