Fanatic Brewing Company Announces Launch of Tennessee Blonde® Ale

Knoxville’s Newest Production Microbrewery Releases First Product
More Brands to Come…

FEBRUARY 26, 2015 (Knoxville, TN) – Fanatic Brewing Company, LLC, a Knoxville, Tennessee-based microbrewery, will be releasing its first offering, Tennessee Blonde® Ale, to draft accounts in Knox County, on Friday March 6, 2015. Members of the print and broadcast media are invited to Fanatic’s Open House on Wednesday, March 4, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a tour and product tasting.

Fanatic, funded by local investors, has located its production brewery in a former plastics distribution warehouse at 2727 North Central Street. The brewery has an initial production capacity of 3,800 barrels per year, and room for expansion. Fanatic will begin delivering Tennessee Blonde® Ale to restaurants, bars, and other draft accounts beginning on March 6, and will shortly begin delivering cans and bottles to retail outlets.

Josh Martin, Fanatic’s President said, “Fanatic Brewing is proud to join Knoxville’s emerging craft beer culture. We look forward to working with our friends and competitors to make Knoxville a destination market for craft beer enthusiasts.”

Members of the general public can join Fanatic Brewing at the launch party for Tennessee Blonde® Ale, which will be held at Casual Pint in Farragut (143 Brooklawn Street, in the Kroger Marketplace shopping center) on Friday, March 6, beginning at 6 p.m. Fanatic team members also will be celebrating the final home game for the Tennessee Volunteers men’s basketball team versus South Carolina, at Hops and Holler (937 N. Central Street), and Central Flats & Taps (1204 N Central Street, in the heart of Happy Holler) on Saturday, March 7, beginning at 3:30 p.m.

“Tennessee Blonde is a light ale offering a light malty palate with noble hops, leaving a light to medium bitterness,” said Marty Velas, Fanatic’s Brewmaster. “We think it will appeal to the experienced ale drinker, as well as to novice beer drinkers.”
