I can’t say enough about this place- Del and Marte went out of their way to anticipate anything we could possibly need and spoiled us rotten. We loved hanging out at the gorgeous brewery and chatting with them and their super friendly staff. Not only were the bathrooms perfectly clean, they’re gorgeous. The beers and food were delicious, and the mascots Big Scruggs, Monster, Ninja, and the chickens were perfect hosts. Wish I could give 6 stars and can’t wait to come back in the summer when the ice cream truck is open!

Beautiful property in a beautiful area. Right off the Obed River and just two minutes from Lilly Bluffs. And outstanding beer garden/camping area to rest up and refresh!

We loved our time here!! Someone else described it as a big family cookout and I couldn't agree more. Everyone was so friendly, kids playing in the open field, chickens and the owners dogs hanging out at the brewery, the beer is great, but the vibe makes you want to hangout even longer. We camped for two nights at their campground, the bathrooms were so clean and campsites were spacious. Owners were so accommodating, thanks for a wonderful trip!

Had a really nice time stopping by here while driving from Nashville to Oak Ridge on a Wednesday afternoon. It’s a detour, but a really beautiful drive on Hwy 127 and 62. I’ve never been in the area before and really haven’t spent any time in Tennessee before this business trip, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, and was glad to see I wasn’t the only car in the lot when I pulled up the gravel road on their property.I showed up to find friendly people who welcomed me to chat, got a flight of IPAs and ales and had a great Mexican Lager with lime, and some good food (pulled pork on a hotdog bun). I hung out longer than I expected and had conversations with hikers who were there camping, volunteer trail blazers working on the Cumberland Trail, and with the friendly owner and staff, and even met the brewer before I left.The atmosphere is laid back and you’re treated like you’re at a family backyard barbecue...with family you actually want to be with.I got an informal tour of the fermenting tanks - which is right there in the bar area, and wandered around the hops plants they’re growing.The campers seemed to enjoy the campsite, and They have a couple miles of trails too on site. It’s next to a lot of outdoor activities so it seems to be a popular place, especially during certain seasons or events.Anyway, the five star reviews are real as long as you’re the laid back type.

The beer is excellent! This is an out of nowhere area that is really starting to gather the view of a lot of outdoor enthusiasts. After you are done doing your outdoor activities you really need to stop in and have a beer.

It was my second time visiting Tennessee and my first time visiting this place for dinner. It was enjoyable, the live music, food and beer or tap was good. I may come back on another trip to Tennessee.

Very hip brewery in the middle of nowhere! They have a great selection of their own brews and killer food to boot. I highly recommend this cool bohemian oasis!!

This place is perfect! I’m from Kentucky and have come down to hike Obed twice, and this place is a must stop afterwards. We stumbled upon it our first time, and I’m so glad we did. Nicest people, and the vibe is great. Good beer, good food, and good atmosphere. They’re doing all the things right at this place!

Cool place out in the sticks! Hand made beer, food, ice cream, campfire and live music. Definitely recommend the trip out if you’ve never been.

This colorful place is a fun brewery in the middle of nowhere (but near the Obed River Bluff & trails) where they even grow their own hops! It's an eclectic mix of structures & people relaxing outside with great beer choices and some good food. And, sometimes, live music!

Hidden gem tucked away from the crowds. Beer selection is top notch and some of the best I’ve had in TN. The stout and IPA are outstanding. Awesome owner!

This place is amazing. We came out here with a large group to camp. We really had the best night enjoying food, beer and music before walking back to our campsite and sitting by the fire making smores with the kiddos. We had another small fire in the morning to sit around with breakfast and coffee.Im not an avid camper so I personally loved the ability to camp and still easily access and toilet. And the view of the stars is amazing. Well worth turning off all the lights to sit and just look up.

Can't say enough nice things about this place - truly a work of art! The owners are incredibly nice people who make fantastic beer in a beautiful setting. They've created a hop haven that I look forward to re-visiting again and again whenever I need a slice of East Tennessee magic.

It's been 2 years since my husband and I stayed here. This place is amazing! The owners are more than kind and friendly and their dog Big Scruggs is 1 of a kind. He would herd us in when we came back from somewhere by slowly trotting in front of our car to our campsite. He was afraid of rain so he would jump in our car or just come up in our 🎪 whenever he pleased.. Which we welcomed! Their beer and pulled pork was outstanding! The trails and river where a gift from God especially on a hot day. My husband spun fire during our last night there whilst The Fumblebuckers were performing. It was magical. Hope to stay here again someday.

This place is a GEM! Super chill, good/cold beer, live music, gift shop, and food. The staff is beyond attentive. 💜 Our dogs found “their people” today, dogs named BIG and Monster... we will be returning.

This is truly and honestly one of my favorite places in the world. When a place is built with love joy and hard work, it shows. Cheap camping, wonderful beer and an amazing couple, Del and Marty that have put their heart and soul into this property. I would highly recommend traveling from anywhere in the world to spend a week here. It's as epic and wonderful as anywhere I've ever traveled. Cheers

Excellent spot! This was the halfway point in a 10 day, 6800 km adventure bike camping trip from Nova Scotia Canada and it was easily the high light of the trip for me. Great people making great beers, I plan to go back!

What an amazing place to be! Fresh air, great eclectic buildings/architecture and such a laid back feel. Instant relaxation with a staff to match, so nice and welcoming. Food was kind of basic and perfect for the setting, done very well. Middle of nowhere location makes it an gem in the wild.Love this place. Worth the trip from Florida!!

A lovely place to wind down after a day of hiking: a fire pit, cold beer, friendly dogs, and excellent food. My girlfriend is gluten & dairy intolerant, and Marte was able to accommodate her with delicious, gf+vegan tacos.
