    Great ambiance! Friendly staff. Outdoor and indoor seating. No food inside but food trucks start at 4pm. Bench seats and high tops. Dogs welcome on leash!!!!

    We were on a road trip to Knoxville and couldn't check into our Airbnb yet at the time we got into town, so we needed a place to stop that was dog friendly. We stopped at Orange Hat Brewing because they let dogs inside and we had a great time! It is nice inside, with plenty of seating, and they also have a really cute outdoor seating area. The servers were friendly and helped me decide what to order. The beer was good, and their merch was really cute too!

    We really enjoyed our visit. Great atmosphere and dog friendly! Prices were reasonable as well.

    While cruising around the Hardin Valley area, my hubby and I stumbled across this find. What a cool vibe this place has. We immediately walked up to the bar area and told the wait staff it was our first time. He WELCOMED us and immediately started to explain their selections and offered samples of anything that interested us. Fair selection of brews. I chose LIVE at Ryman, hubby chose "865 Pilsner" something a little lighter. We ordered a tasty burger and pork nachos from their food truck "The COLLAB", both prepared to our liking. We sat back and enjoyed our meals and the surroundings. It was nice to see families and they're pets out enjoying a great sunny day before the cooler months arrive.

    One of the greatest breweries I've ever been to! The beer and hard kombucha is lovely, I adore the options and I simply love the atmosphere. You can bring your dog and have fun with the family. The bar tender is always lovely and informative, great service all around! If you're in town you HAVE to come here.

    Happy Feet approved. Schnitz & Gillges. Love the aroma of the Marzen!

    Thank you Orange Hat Brewing for another fun @SBRET event. Cheers!! We all had a great time meeting some possible furever families.

    Rippy loves it here.

    Their beer is excellent. Great environment. Beertenders are great. They have a fantastic permanent food truck that is great taqueria style. Oh , one more thing, dogs allowed.

    The atmosphere is really nice! Dogs are welcome at the brewery. The staff seem really nice and helpful. Even though a line grew while we were ordering, we were never rushed to make a choice in our drink selection. Outside there is a cute patio area with corn hole set up. They serve food outside by food truck. I believe Mondays and Tuesdays are rotating food trucks which are listed on their website, otherwise it's their food truck. I read the reviews before hand and got the pulled pork nachos because they seemed to be popular. They were ok. My husband got a cheeseburger which he liked. We were advised the fries are pretty salty so we asked for less salt and they were seasoned on point. The beer selection at the time was decent. I ordered the blimey sour which was a true sour and was a popular choice by our group. My husband tried a flight and thought it was good but nothing crazy special. Overall we had a good time and will likely see ourselves returning.

    I stopped by here earlier today with my wife for some afternoon drinks. We happened to be in Knoxville for the day and I was trying to find a place that was open before 3 or 4 PM whenever Orange Hat Brewing came up on Yelp and so we headed on over. Its located in an unassuming strip mall but is quite large inside. The ceiling is a couple of stories up and it has an industrial feel to it with the exposed ductwork and long hanging Edison bulbs. The bar is in the front whenever you walk in and their brewing area is in the back. Beyond that they had plenty of seating at picnic tables, high top tables, regular tables and even some couches too. There were a bunch of games to play including a large connect 4 and a bunch of board games but due to covid 19, we didn't play any. Finally there was a nice outdoor seating area complete with string lights but Tropical Storm Beta conspired against us sitting there. On this day, as I often do at new breweries, I decided to go for a flight. At Orange Hat Brewing Company that consists of 4 beers of your choosing and I went with the Easy Lies IPA, live @ the RYEman, The real Slim shandy and finally the Manifest West West Coast IPA. I started out with the RYEMan and thought it tasted quite good with some caramel notes on first sip and after a few more I started to get more of the rye. For my second taster, I went with the real slim shandy which was bright and lemony and everything I would expect out of a shandy. Up third was the Easy Lies IPA which was hoppy from start to finish and may actually have been too hoppy for my tastes, especially on the finish. Last but certainly not least was the Manifest West which was a bright and citrusy IPA. The hops are there but the citrus makes sure that they aren't overwhelming and provides for a nice tasting beer. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Orange Hat Brewing Company has a nice space and their beers are good too.

Vinny is the kind of bartender who makes you question whether you came for a drink or accidentally bought tickets to a comedy show. Within five minutes, he had us laughing harder than we expected to in a brewery. He's got this perfectly chaotic, eccentric energy--like if a stand-up comedian and a craft beer encyclopedia merged into one person. One second he's passionately explaining the notes of a hazy IPA, and the next he's roasting your drink choice in the most charming way possible. What really makes Vinny stand out is how he reads the room. He somehow knows exactly when to crack a joke, when to hype up a beer, and when to just vibe with you like you've been friends for years. It never feels forced--it's just who he is. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that energy spreads to everyone around him. Also, let's be clear: the beer recommendations? Elite. Vinny doesn't miss. Even if you walk in saying, "I don't really like beer," he'll hand you something that makes you rethink your entire personality. Between the incredible beer at Xul and Vinny's unmatched personality, this place is dangerously easy to stay at way longer than you planned. Came for one drink, stayed for three... and honestly, probably would've stayed for five if Vinny hadn't jokingly told us to "go home and hydrate." 10/10 experience. Vinny, if you see this--never change.

    Had Vinny as my waiter and he was the BEST! Great experience! It had great drinks and great food!read more

Our pup travels everywhere with us, so finding these spots is important to us. It was very spacious too - so we weren't on top of other guests.

For lunch, we got the deviled eggs to start - something that is a go-to for us. They were solid and enjoyable. For the main, we opted for the Abridged burger and the Chicken club. Both were solid as well. Fries were crispy, but a bit over-salted, and I enjoy some salt. So made a note for next time to "go light". Service was good too.

They were soft, warm, and had the perfect amount of surface salt to complement the mustard that came with them. They were also served with beer cheese, and others at the table loved that. For lunch I had a veggie burger and I would say it's in the running for best veggie burger in Knoxville. It was THAT good. To keep it fully vegan order it without the chipotle mayo that comes with it, otherwise it is a vegetarian friendly delicious burger! Others at the table had burgers, fish tacos, and chicken quesadillas and all seemed happy with their food. It's a super casual space with cement floors, and I think they sometimes have live music. The parking lot is tiny, but there is overflow parking in a lot on the hill above the restaurant. I'd say it's worth the potential parking challenge to enjoy this spot!

You walk through to reach the bar towards the back of the room. We decided on some flights to sample what was being offered. I had: * Young Nathan Jr Bitter - Session/Ordinary 4.9% ABV - Malty roasty body, well balanced sweet malt to hoppy finish note of chocolate. Fairly easy drinking. 3.8/5 * 94 Accord Pale Ale - American 4.5% ABV - Citrus notes with a somewhat bitter hoppy finish, great lacing. 3.5/5 * Oracle 25 (Galena) Pale Ale - American 5.5% ABV - Very easy drinks lager, light body with rice? I'd imagine it would be great with food as it's very neutral. 3/5 * Six Gun Sound Porter - English 4.5% ABV - Fruity medium body bitter, citrus and herbal notes with a hard stop finish. Well balanced, not much sweet malt to speak of. 3.5/5 Overall I felt like the beer was competently made but very directed towards the neighbors, that from the look of the place, were frequent visitors.
