Iron Forge
Brewing Co
About us
Nestled in Foothills of the Smoky Mountains, Iron Forge Brewing Company opened its doors in April 2023 with a simple mission: craft exceptional beer, serve great food, and create a place where everyone feels welcome. When we started, it was a passion project which has now grown into a beloved local gathering spot, often described by guests as a true “hidden gem.”
From the peaks of the Smokies to the rolling foothills and valleys of East Tennessee, we draw daily inspiration from the beauty and spirit of the Great Smoky Mountains. Sitting at the center of Sevier County, alongside Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, this landscape shapes both our identity and the experience we offer our guests.
What began as a local brewery has grown into a regional presence. Today, our beer is distributed across East Tennessee, allowing more people to experience what we’re crafting in Sevierville. As we continue to grow, we’re excited to expand with a new location opening in Spring 2026 at Covenant Health Park, the home of Knoxville Smokies Baseball. This next chapter allows us to bring our hospitality and beer to an even wider community while staying true to our roots.
Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg all come together to make one of the larger counties in Tennessee. Sevier County, TN is known for many beautiful locations, including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park which stretches beyond the Sevier County border. You can see the Appalachian Mountains to the north, the Foothills in the center, and the beautiful valley that stretches across East Tennessee.
In approximately 1820, Isaac Love (1783-1854) established the iron forge along the Little Pigeon River. The iron forge included a bloomery furnace and water-powered trip hammer to smelt and mold ore into iron bars. When searching for a location for our brewery, we immediately felt at home in this mountain town. We wanted to pay tribute to the rich history that unfolded here and thus created our name, Iron Forge Brewing Company.
Sevierville has preserved much of its southern charm and the quaint personality of a small, historic town. Iron Forge Brewing Company is proud to call it our home in the Smokies.
