The city of Knoxville is about to have a new claim to fame – they are now home of the Knoxville Honeysuckle Saison.

Making its grand debut to the community at the upcoming Knoxville Brewfest, this new brew comes from the hands of nine local craft brewers; including: Woodruff’s Brewing Co., Schultz Brau Brewery, Saw Works Brewing Co., Pretentious Beer & Glassware Co., Hexagon Brewing Co., Crafty Bastard Brewery, Blackhorse Brewery, Balter Beerworks and Alliance Brewing Co.

One employee of Knox Brew Tours, Zack Roskop, explains that, “Knoxville is between Nashville and Asheville, two really great beer cities, but we’re on our way to competing with them. What a great way to help raise awareness of what’s coming down the pipeline.” Knoxville movers know that this is something for beer-loving, incoming residents to get excited about.

The idea to create a brew unique to Knoxville, came when Roskop initially asked a friend to help him make a beer that he could serve at this upcoming beer fest. To his surprise, not only did his friend agree to help, but multiple others stepped forward who were willing to put in their two-cents. When this happened, Roskop initially thought “let’s find a way to take the opportunity to elevate the beer community and bring the breweries together.”

This new Knoxville brew ultimately turned into a way to bring the breweries closer, and ended up creating the recipe for the new Knoxville Honeysuckle Saison.

Roskop assures that “no individual or business is making money off this beer. One hundred percent of the ingredients were donated. They donated their time. To have 10 businesses come together to elevate their exposure and the city as a whole for free, blows my mind.”

Needless to say, your local Knoxville movers and the rest of the city look forward to adding more unique local brews to the city’s menu, making Knoxville even more of the perfect city to move to.
