Love a good craft beer? Then Gatlinburg Brewing Co. is a must on your trip to the Smoky Mountains! With new brews constantly debuting and delicious, hand-tossed pizzas, this local favorite will also become your choice. Here's what to expect.

Gatlinburg Brewing Co. has locations in Gatlinburg and Sevierville. The Gatlinburg location's huge windows wrap around the dining room and bar, giving views of downtown. Watch the world go by outside while you relax under the kind gaze of the bearded bear, the brewer's mascot.

The beer and cider menu changes, guaranteeing that you'll get to try different drinks on a repeat visit. A typical beer list here might offer a dozen Gatlinburg Brewing Co's creations, plus "guest tap" drinks, including ciders (with exotic sips like pineapple cider!), seltzers, and non-alcoholic choices.

Eye-opening Breakfast Juice is an IPA with zingy tropical flavors. Empress Wu's Wit is a white beer, a pale Belgian ale with peppercorn and citrus. Order Don't Feed the Bears for a roasted brown English ale–every purchase supports bear rescues. Check the online menu to see many more daily ales, stouts, and IPAs.

The kitchen specializes in pizza and keeps the variety high! Build your custom 10-inch pie, starting with a hand-tossed wheat crust or a gluten-free cauliflower crust. The chef will slather on your choice of sauces–tomato sauce, for sure, but you can pick creamy alfredo, tangy BBQ, white American cheese, buffalo, or beer cheese sauces. Toppings feature the classics, but why not try beer-braised sausage or beer-braised beef on top too?

Ten specialty pizzas tempt you with cool combos, from "Meat-a-Palooza" to "Not a Sandwich" (pizza with bacon, tomato, greens, and ranch dressing). Appetizers are classic bar food like wings and pretzels, freshly made. If you dare, nosh "hot sticks," mozzarella sticks with pickled jalapenos!

The Gatlinburg location, less than a five-minute walk from Anakeesta theme park along the Parkway, opens at noon and closes at 1 a.m. daily. In Sevierville, drop in from noon until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday or noon until midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Stay in a Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge cabin, and you're close enough to visit here again and again. Try every combo of pizza and beer! Book your vacation cabin today.
