Chattanooga’s Naked River Brewing Co. announces closure


Naked River Brewing Co. has announced it’s closing July 20.

“It’s definitely been a challenge,” owner Jake Raulston said by phone, “but we’re forever grateful for everybody that we’ve met along the way. Hopefully, this is not goodbye for forever, but we hope that we can see as many familiar faces from now until closing day.”

The brewery and restaurant made the announcement in a statement posted on social media.

“Since opening our doors in November 2018, our mission has been to create a welcoming space where family, friends, and the community could gather over great craft beer and BBQ,” the statement said.
