Nice little brewery with solid beers. Favorite beers are Wee Heavy Metal scotch ale and Bouvine black ipa. Neither were on tap, but we could carry out beers from the cooler. Hazy ipa and coffee porter was good too. They have a small bar and a big back room with board games you can play. When we visited, there were several dogs in the front bar area who were quite aggressive -barking and growling- so I was a bit uncomfortable trying to get around them to go to the bathroom. They do not have food, so plan to bring your own if you visit and feel like a nosh. read more

We came in for a quick beer, ended up with a flight. The bartender was great and let us sample. She had some good recommendations. IPA's-tectonic and LC's were great. Abby's ginger wheat was good and finished strong with the bourbon barrel aged Adambier. Good selection of beer taste for everyone. Unique vibe, small crowd but great brews. Would recommend stopping by! read more

The beer is especially good with a varied selection. There's just something so delicious about drinking a beer at the brewery with the great people that make and serve the beer. I especially love the Promenade for an easy drinking NEIPA. There is a varied crowd and Sunday afternoons are very relaxing. Go there. read more

What a gem. Hutton and Smith, whose motto is "gneiss beer for people who give a schist," represents "old" Chattanooga -- a small, homey brewery with somewhat left-field, hit-or-miss lagers, ales, IPAs, etc. H&S is a community brewery where dogs and humans commingle and talk: there are no television screens in the bar area, and if you sit down, you'll be treated like an old friend. read more

This is a good brewery with a strong local following. They have a core group of really tasty beers. You'll find several of their beers offered at a variety of local restaurants, a testimony to the quality produced. This is a microbrewery though, and they serve no food. Unlike many of their local competitors, they choose not to offer many new beers, an attribute that resonates poorly with me. Additionally, they don't keep the content of their website current, another weakness versus their competitors. Good, not great and while it is physically the closest microbrewery to my home, my visits have grown infrequent, a big shift from when I first moved to this market. read more

The initial entrance is a bit cramped, but if you walk past the bar, then there's a nice, open room with tables and couches to sit at. Indoor and outdoor areas are dog friendly, gender neutral bathrooms, full pours and half pours are available, and a self pour water tap is out. Alright selection of beers, but they do rotate by season. I recommend the vanilla nitro stout! Reason for 4 stars is the service was just okay. read more

Spent the day in Chattanooga with some friends and had a wonderful time enjoying the local food, entertainment, etc. A highlight of the day was Hutton & Smith Brewing where we stayed for a couple of hours enjoying many of their beers. I have to say that my favorites of the day were their stouts. The Vanilla Stout was good but the Doppelbock they had on tap was by far my favorite. I even ended up bringing some home with me in a growler. read more

We came in from out of town and wanted to try some local beers. We love the rock themed names. We love the cats. Paul's music playlist was totally my husband's jam. Leslie made a fantastic dinner recommendation. Ohh yeah and the beer is good too. You know sometimes a great brewery is more than just great beer. Everything is so on point here. Stop in for a flight if you can. read more

This past Saturday afternoon, tensions were high amongst "the fam", so I struck out on my own seeking a calm harbor in which I might drop my anchor, if only for a short while. Within minutes of posting up at Hutton & Smith, I knew I'd found my spot. An entity from The Enlightenment -- the Parisian "Salon" -- is at the forefront of my thinking concerning this fine taproom. For about three hours, I conversed with a diverse assortment of other beer aficionados on a wide array of subjects. Sports. Physics. Geography. Politics. Travel. Poker. Poetry. The spinning of wooden tops. Music. The intersection of all of these. And the beer? Well I'll just be direct: the folks at Hutton & Smith are producing the most excellent brews in the entirety of the Chattanooga area. And, unlike other similar entities, they've not felt the need to erect mall-sized arenas conducive to screaming children, lines like WallyWorld on Black Friday, and a vast, unnecessary array of distractions that do nothing to improve the simple experience of drinking beer and conversing with other humans. In my not-at-all humble opinion, Hutton & Smith is the premier place to sample in-house craft beer in this beautiful city. If you're looking to avoid the pomp and circumstance, sit calmly as the liquid nectars flow, and interact with fellow earthlings in an enlightening fashion, don't waste your time at any other area taproom or brewery. Do yourself a favor: VISIT HUTTON & SMITH. read more

Atmosphere was ok. It took the bartender several tries to get my beer poured as it had a lot of foam when coming out of the tap. Also the temp was a little warmer than I prefer which is probably what caused some of the foam. read more

Very cool brewery. Bar tender very nice and regulars cool with us tourists and animals! They are having a Friendsgiving for the regulars.

Love their beer so much that I joined their club. They are always so friendly and just accommodating.

Definitely one of our favorite breweries to hit up when we visit Chattanooga. On our most recent trip, we came in on a Tuesday and took advantage of their Tallboy Tuesday - $3 tallboys. After a grueling mountain hike in the summer heat on Wednesday, we decided a return trip was necessary, and were treated to pint night! Huge. Bartenders are chill and knowledgeable and the digs are comfy and fairly spacious. We played a few games of shuffleboard, then toyed around with the SNES in the back (very satisfying for the ol' inner child). Bonus, they're dog-friendly! read more

We've really been digging on Hutton & Smith's beers since we moved back to Chatt - I always buy their IPA's from Sigler's, right next to where I work. So, we finally decided to check out their taproom a few nights ago! Super small, dark space around the main bar - they've got a few small tables and the regular barstools. There was a couple hanging out in there with their doggo, which made me really happy, lol. We walked up to the counter and ordered a couple of flights - bartender was super friendly! To the left hand side of the main, dark room, there's a doorway that leads to a larger, better lit space, with several tables, some couches, a few game tables, and their whiskey barrels for their aged beers. We liked this room a lot more, they had some groovy art on the walls and people were chilling, playing cards and whatnot. Brews were fabulous, all around - they have a really good selection of IPA's, sours, and a few stouts/porters to round out the options. That BA Belgian dark stout will put you on your rear, so be careful with that one, haha. Overall, great experience and really cool to get to try some of their beers that aren't widely distributed in Chattanooga stores! read more

We stopped in on our last day in Chattanooga and while we were impressed with almost every beer we tried (we each had a flight) we just didn't feel very welcome. The female bartender was polite and kind but just not warm and welcoming. The gentleman behind the counter never even made eye contact with us. Coming from FL where we have tons of small craft breweries we were just a tad less than impressed with the warmth of the place. Def a locals hang out and maybe they want to keep it that way. read more

Our friends recommended we try thjs brewery, so on our way to our vacation spot, we stopped off and got a flight of beers. I was impressed with the range of beers. There are several places to sit - one small area next to the bar, a larger game room with lots of seating, and an outdoor area, nicely shaded. Dogs are allowed inside and outside. My favorite beer was the Magic Mama (New England IPA), followed by the Pyrose and the Gatiño Gose. But I like smooth and tart. We bought a bottle of the Vulcanite Barrel Aged Golden Sour, which was awesome. A just okay beer to me was the session IPA (Tremont's Tectonic), but I think it's because it was milder than what I wanted. Oh, the Diatomaceous Dry Stout was really good. Also, super nice folks working the bar. And a pretty diverse and chill group of customers. read more

Dillan is the best. Some really good beers here, great music, and a very chill vibe. We will be sure to return.

Stopped by here while we were out celebrating my 30th birthday on a rainy Sunday. I love how quaint the space is. Exposed brick and two small rooms. Large bar with seating. Luckily it wasn't busy when we showed up. I can't imagine how this place might look on a Friday or Saturday. The bartender was so kind! Truly a large part of the great experience. I was very impressed with the number of beers they had on tap and the number of styles. I always enjoy getting flights. I really was floored with the prices. $3.50 for a 5 ounce?! Wow. My flight cost me over $13 and that's for just over a pint of beer. Yes, I did have some higher gravity styles on the flight, but I still feel as if this is too pricey. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the beers. Maybe it all had to do with the bad taste the prices put in my mouth. I will go back when I return to Chattanooga. The staff was great and I love the space. Congrats on the recent medal! read more

First time at Hutton & Smith Brewing. I'm not a big beer gal, but I'm broadening my palate. This brewery has an awesome vibe. Rusty really enjoyed the stout and the bar tender Dillon was super helpful in offering suggestions and grabbing samples for me until we found the perfect drink! Love the Slick Rock Pale Ale! Thanks for the recommendation! We will definitely be back! read more

We came to Chattanooga, from Birmingham, expecting the brewery scene to be similar. We were slightly disappointed that pretty much every brewery in town would not allow dogs in the taproom EXCEPT this one. They welcomed us in and took fabulous care of us. Y'all need to check this place out!! read more

Good beer and a great atmosphere. Staff is attentive and friendly. Tours and merch are available.

Even as a non-drinker, I LOVE coming to Hutton & Smith. The atmosphere and staff is incredible and I am in love with the new renovation they have done (especially the shuffle board table!!) What I think makes Hutton unique compared to the other breweries and bars on MLK is that you get to feel a part of the process. Heck, as you order you are standing by the drums making the beer, you get to see the inner workings, chemistry, and all that is involved. Any reasonable joint in Chattanooga knows to have Hutton & Smith either on tap or as an option. And getting to feel a part of the process while spending time with friends and either enjoying the open air or spacious couches makes it a truly unique, wonderful, and Chattanooga experience read more

On a Saturday in February after a photoshoot, my husband and I had a little time to kill before dinner, so we decided to check something off our Chattanooga Bucket List (a list which seems to grow by leaps and bounds every week) and visit Hutton & Smith Brewing Company in downtown Chattanooga. We got there at 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon, and we got the last seat at the bar! It is very small though, with a small bar area and a handful of seats by the front window. There was so much to choose from, it was like being a kid in a candy store. Luckily my husband and I are very similar in our beer tastes, although I admit, he has broader tastes in beer than I do. I am pretty much an IPA fanatic. The hoppier the better. Along with the beer menu, they give you a sheet of paper where you write your four choices. You can see, we chose Rope Gun Rye, Coffee IPA, Igneous IPA, and Vanilla Porterledge. Everything was excellent! If I had to pick a favorite if would be the Coffee IPA. So yummy. Very enjoyable time, will definitely be back to sample some more! read more

We came here while visiting Chattanooga to taste the city's beers. The space itself was pretty cool with some fun activities to do. Pretty average for a brewery but definitely fun. The beer really impressed me and was probably my favorite during my visit to Tennessee. I had a flight with their Alt, Doppelbock, and two sours. The alt was solid. The Doppelbock was quite tasty and a wonderful example of the style. The two sours really went above and beyond. Though the name escapes me, one sour was reddish and brewed with Kveik yeast. This beer took the cake for best beer during my visit - it was truly delicious and well rounded. Overall, this is a pretty average space with incredibly exceptional beer! read more

This is one of the best microbreweries I've been to. The atmosphere was amazing, all of the workers were friendly and had great advice for us. All the beers were great especially the Wild Ale and Vanilla Stout. The best part about the brewery is that they are dog friendly and allow your dogs inside, which our little four legged children enjoyed! If you're a brewhead and you're in Chattanooga this is definitely a stop for you! read more

Excellent variety of beers. I really enjoyed their wild ales and fruited sours. We were able to bring our dog inside and there was a huge secondary room that added onto the space. The main bartender was Excellent and really added to the experience. read more

They have so many craft made beers in this place it's boggling. Is so tiny and yet, they have like 20 something beers on tap they making house. I don't know if they swarm in their own basement or what but it's inspiring. And thank God, they have finally added some baby food options. It ain't nothing major, but it beats having all that beer on an empty stomach. Without a doubt, the best part about Hutton and Smith is they allow dogos. So except that is the trade-off for having little to no food options. The bar area is so much smaller and claustrophobic. It's definitely but too but we're chest to chest to slide through and order a beer. That is probably the only complaint I have of this place. Hutton and Smith definitely stands out as one of the local breweries on this side of town. read more

As a local Chattanoogan, I would encourage any beer lover to stop in to Hutton and Smith. The lovely people running the show leave every guest wanting more. Their beers are spot on and their atmosphere is neighborly and simple. Even though they are new to brewing on this scale, the beer is competitive in the city. You're wasting your time reading this review. Just pack up the minivan and get over there. read more

The beer was all very tasty. IPAs were all hoppy and delicious. We were there on Oct 3, 2019 and were about to leave, after several rounds, when my wife decided we were going to stay and do Trivia. Apparently the beer also improves your IQ the more you drink as we won. Of course that meant we had to take several sixers home to increase our brain power. Supposedly a trivia finals in Dec. Hopefully we can make it. read more

I have been to almost all of our local breweries and in my opinion this one beats them all. I am an IPA fan and this is where I think H&S kicks butt. All of their beer selections are solid but their IPAs are special. Had a conversation with one of the brewer/waitress/handy people on their brewing techniques and I believe it comes down to how they handle their water. Chattanooga water is horrible for brewing hoppy beers. H&S purifies their water and then adds back the minerals per style. I am sure others do this too but not as well as here. Was a bit disappointed to not have the IPA on draft last night and in my opinion the vanilla stout could use more vanilla but overall I am always delighted by the beer selection and taste. Plenty of good beers to pick from. Now if they just had food in the place I could find reasons not to leave. read more

I decided to go to H&S with my son, his girlfriend, my husband, a friend, and my baby sis who works in the brewing industry on pint night a few weeks back. We lucked out and got a table and several of us enjoyed flights since we had not tried any of their beers. It was PACKED, noisy, with music on to 11, and full of people enjoying good beer. I gave it a 4 simply bc the music* was so intense we left within half hour and we were going hoarse to talk over it. *cool soundtracks read more

Visited on a Saturday night and it was packed! All they serve is the beer, so eat somewhere else. One server only and she was hoppng, but kept a pleasant demeanor. Sort of all ages. I'm a porter and stout drinker and they had more than enough on tap for me. The vanilla coffee porter was better than expected. The milk stout was good. Vanilla nitrous and the dry stout nitrous were very good. Highly recommended! read more

It's a tiny taproom, but they have lots of great beers! Much better prices than some of the Nashville stuff too. We got some tasters and really liked them. We even took home a crowler (growler can) of their Scotch ale, which means we definitely enjoyed the beer, right? That was probably my favorite beer while we were there. I also love their branding and tap handles. Very clean and cool! read more
