Brewing beer has been a goal of the Company Distilling team since opening the Townsend distillery in 2022. Company took an integrated approach when developing the design for their brewing equipment and processes; one that would allow for both brewing and distilling. A tactic that is both innovative, clean and efficient, guests will experience some of the best quality beer and distilled spirits in the state of Tennessee.

Company’s approach to brewing and beer styles reflects tradition and craft, while celebrating the local and regional heritage of the places they call home. Company focuses on brewing session-able, traditional and refreshing beer styles. Some you’ll find on tap the entire year, while others are more seasonal offerings.

We hope you’ll drop by our distillery located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains to try some of our freshly-brewed craft beer. No visit to the Smokies is complete without a stop at Company Distilling. Cheers!

This Pilsner is incredibly clean and crisp but highlights the earthen and grassy tones of a lightly malted Pilsen barley.  The overall malt character is delicate because no specialty roasted or toasted malts are used. Fermentation is completed using the time honored slow and cold techniques of old-world breweries.

Company Distilling’s American Lager style beer is the pinnacle of a light, refreshing, and enjoyable beer. This Lager is all about quality and balance. It possesses significantly more body than the average American mass-produced lagers yet it retains the thirst-quenching properties of those lighter bodied beers. The flavor profile of our lager is relatively neutral in that neither the malt, hops or yeast derived flavors dominate the brew.

This beer harkens back to those days of flavor harmony. The black and chocolate malts of the Black IPA style contribute delicious roasted malt character and subtle chocolate notes. The malted rye from the Rye IPA style adds light spiciness and a more complex but not a heavy mouthfeel.  In fact, you will find this beer to be surprisingly light, refreshing, and sessionable.

This Irish Red Ale is brewed in the style of traditional English Bitters and offers the luck of the Irish in the form of distinctively copper-reddish color brew. The roasted barley used in the grain bill is the main driver behind both the color and distinctive flavor of this beer. A subtle caramel/toffee sweetness is complimented by a perceived dry finish.

IBU 18-28 | SRM 9-14 | ABV 3.8-5% | Hops: Willamette, Goldings

While many modern breweries utilize actual cocoa or chocolate flavors to create the chocolate character of the beer, the chocolate flavor in this brew is solely derived from the toasted specialty malts used in the grain bill. Therefore, the chocolate flavor is pronounced yet subtle. Additionally, most brewers utilize oats in the grain bill of their milk stouts while we have chosen to use malted rye instead. This rye component imparts a slightly spicy essence that may be perceived as mint chocolate flavor. The malted rye combined with added lactose sugars creates a rich, luxurious body to this divinely satisfying beer.

IBU 25-50 | SRM 30-40 | ABV 4-6%  | Hops: Cascade

Company’s Red Quinoa Ale is brewed in the stye of an English Nut Brown Ale but uses Red Quinoa to replace the standard black and chocolate specialty malt additions. Quinoa contributes an enhanced nutty flavor while the choice of red quinoa versus the more common white quinoa provides the crystal-clear brown hue to the beer.
