Heading up to TN shortly. Any easily available (grocery store) beers I should be on the lookout for? Thanks

What kind of beers do you like? What part of the state are you going to be in?

Best beer made in the state: Blackberry Farm Classic Saison.

That said, like the others asked, it really depends on who you are and where you are at.

I don't know about all that, but it is a great beer and a chill taproom.

You know me. I'm a sucker for a good saison, and their saison is world class.

Sopping in Chattanooga before hitting Smoky Mountains. I like a mix of beers. Davison’s being one. A great creamy ale always enjoyed. Not overly hoppy IPA. And just a crisp lager or amber.

Blackberry Farm stuff is awesome but you arent gonna find any NEIPAs or coffee stouts from those guys. not that there's anything wrong with that..

If you drive through Knoxville on your way to the Smoky Mountains, depends on which part of the park you're headed to, then there are two great beer stops right off of I-40.

Total Wine is the obvious pick, but McScrooge's is just as convenient and has even a better beer selection.

They've had some NEIPAs on tap my last few trips... but I don't think they packaged any. They also had a Trillium guest tap one trip.

Looks like none tapped currently, though.

Yeah, I always figured I was priced out of their place.

Wow. Did not proofread. “Stopping” and sopping I guess. Saisons. Not Davidson’s. Auto correct man. I’ll def look for that Saison if for sale retail. Thanks on the shop recs

Thanks, I just looked it up. I assumed it was on their big property (where I assumed I was also priced out ) and didn't realize the operations were actually in the nearby town.

I will check it out one day.
