In case the name didn’t make it obvious enough, the organizers of the Chattanooga Craft Beer Festival have never made any bones about the event’s main attraction.

“It’s a nice cross section of beers, but that’s the focus,” says Matt Lewis, the owner of Terminal Brewhouse, the festival’s title sponsor. “Music isn’t the focus; food trucks aren’t the focus.

“It’s not as much of a party as much as it is people coming out to try new things and support local breweries.”
