The Terminal BrewHouse
A brewpub and restaurant, Terminal takes great pride in its selection of homemade suds, from the White Shadow, a Belgian white, to the Magnum P.A., a West Coast IPA. The former helps create the Belgian Mimosa, one of Terminal’s beer cocktails. The Terminal Trainwreck chugs to life as a three-car conglomeration of Southsidenstein Stout, Bloody Mary mix and Terminal’s house-infused pepper vodka. Other infusions marinating behind the bar include bacon vodka and cucumber gin.

Flyte World Dining and Wine
This eatery, specializing in local and sustainable fine dining, puts an emphasis on the grape. Flyte co-owner Scott Sears does double duty as wine director, curating an international list made of both familiar favorites and his own lesser-known discoveries. Flyte serves more than 100 different wines by the glass. The roster includes red, white, rose, sparkling, dessert and sherry wines. Sears wrangles a reserve list featuring a 2009 Labastide Dauzac, a 2006 Tenuta Vitanza and others.

Knox Brew Tours
Want to sip what craft beer purveyors in Knoxville have to offer? Snag a seat on this intimate bus, which makes liquid pit stops at three breweries on each tour, including spots such as Saw Works Brewing Co. and Blackhorse Pub & Brewery. At each stop, drinkers sample a quartet of 4-ounce pours. This means you’ll get a taste of a total of 12. Yet, before you start feeling woozy at the thought, remember that’s the equivalent of three true pints of beer. The staff provides water and snacks, and, of course, they do the driving.
