10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Maggie Valley

"A sister restaurant to Cherokee Grill, the Smoky Mountain Brewery has recently expanded to three other locations in Tennessee. The original home of the microbrewery, however, is right here in the Smokies. The restaurant describes the first Smoky Mountain Brewery as ‘a cross between a ski lodge and a Bavarian beer hall’, and this makes for a lively atmosphere, where friends meet over hand-tossed pizzas, signature sandwiches and burgers and, of course, the wonderful microbrewed craft beers that give the Smoky Mountain Brewery its name."

"As the oldest craft brewery in East Tennessee, we are suggesting you dine here as more of a supplement to your beer tasting. Though the food is delicious, the beer obviously steals the stage. With craft beers of all types, you will love sipping on a cold one after a day in the park."

"New to The Island in Pigeon Forge, Yee-Haw Brewing Co. is one of Tennessee’s most popular breweries. Its new location in the Smokies allows visitors to enjoy a pint or a flight of the brewery’s signature beers. The venue includes 20 taps that serve all of the brewery’s products, and it is the first location to offer large format bottles of bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey aged beers."

"The latest Pigeon Forge brewery to hit the craft beer scene is Yee-Haw Brewing Co and it’s already generating 5-star reviews. Located on 131 The Island Drive, it’s right next door to the Old Smoky Mountain Distillery. There’s live music on the weekends and they’ve got a World Beer Cup winner to brag about-their Dunkel beer."

"Stillwater Cold Brew Coffee may be the most unique coffee shop in Gatlinburg. This company uses fresh mountain spring water to cold brew high-quality coffee, which is extra smooth and has 67% less acidity than traditionally brewed coffee. All of the coffee at Stillwater can be served iced or hot and the Coffee Bar’s friendly staff will let you sample a variety of flavors so you can find one that you love."

"Not too many years ago in the hills of Tennessee, Moonshiners hid their stills from Federal Revenuers as they continued the 200-year-old tradition of making high-proof ’shine’ from corn mash and sugar. It was called hooch, mountain dew, white lightning and the better known name of Moonshine, all made famous in the 1958 movie “Thunder Road” starring Robert Mitchum and Gene Barry, and shot in Cocke County, Tennessee, right next door to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. But today, there has been a revival of the drink with the passing of legislation making production of Moonshine legal in Tennessee, and distillers have been coming out of the woods ever since."

"Mayfield Dairy Bar is located right on the Parkway and specializes in creatively flavored ice cream that will bring a smile to your face!. You can decide from all your favorite Mayfield ice cream flavors, like Vanilla Chocolate Strawberry and Moose Tracks. No matter what flavor you decide on, you’ll get the true taste of Southern homemade ice cream!"

"Rich creamy ice-cream from the Mayfield Dairy Bar will make you look at ice-cream in a whole new light. Have it atop their funnel cake or in a sundae for a dessert that will make you never want to return home!"
