Moccasin Bend Brewing Company

Moccasin Bend Brewing Company

Moccasin Bend Brewing Company is located in the historic St. Elmo district of Chattanooga, TN. We’re at the foot of Lookout Mountain just steps away from the world famous Incline Railway and very near to the great Moccasin Bend of the Tennessee River. MBBC was started by two brewers whose quest for the perfect beer led them to learn the art of brewing. Chris Hunt and Duncan Guy began their brewing education in the Barley Mob Brewers homebrewing club and continued to search for unique and distinctive ale and lager formulas. They decided to offer their creations to the public through a small batch microbrewery in 2006. Soon thereafter, award winning brewer, Courtney Tyvand, joined the two, and presented his smoked porter at the brewery’s first beer dinner in October of 2006. The brewery is located on the ground floor of a historic building at 4015 Tennessee Avenue in St. Elmo. The building is constructed of foot-square cedar timbers and two-foot thick walls made of granite stone and mortar. Built in 1911 as a packaging factory for K-Rations for WWI, we occasionally find artifacts from that era in the building walls and ceiling. The brewery shares space with the Chattanooga U-Brew, a brew-on-premises business owned by Greg McCort. MBBC is proud to offer small batch specialty ales and lagers in kegs of various sizes. A tasting room is part of the brewery; samples of our beers can be tasted and tested on premises. Occasionally we have tasting events or tapping events at the brewery or at a nearby bar or restaurant. Please check our calendar for scheduled tasting events at the brewery.
