ABLE TRADE BREW LAB

Brew home brew… but not at home

THE SHARED BREWING SPACE FOR KNOXVILLE’S HOMEBREWERS AND BEER LOVERS

Why brew alone in a garage when you can craft in a maker’s playground?

The Able Trade Brew Lab gives you top-tier equipment, hands-on guidance, and a community that’s just as fired up about great beer as you are.

Brew better, learn faster, and connect with makers who share your passion.

Ready to make your first (or best) batch?

Built inside the maker-driven community of Able Trade, members get access to quality brewing gear, hands-on guidance, and a collaborative space to brew, learn, and connect.

The Problem

Knoxville’s beer scene is booming—but brewing at home? That’s a different story.

Cramped garages, pricey gear, and solo brew days make it tough for would-be brewers to dive in.

The result? 

Inconsistent beer, stalled progress, and too many folks hanging up their mash paddles and selling their equipment on Facebook Marketplace. 

Able Trade Brew Lab fixes that—with a shared space, high quality turnkey equipment, and a community of brewers who’d rather ferment together than fizzle out alone.
