American Draft

Discovered this place while staying at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, as it is in an old rail car behind the hotel. This is a self serve system where you submit a credit card to the Barkeeper, then are given a card that activates the taps. There were about 30 taps, with plenty of excellent choices. The beer is sold by the ounce, which is great for out of towners like me to be able to sample multiple local brews without getting wasted. I was able to try beers from 4 Chattanooga based breweries: Heaven & Ale Brewing, OddStory Brewing, Wanderlinger Brewing and Hutton & Smith Brewing, and a couple from nearby North Carolina. And you get to sit in an old railroad bar car and enjoy the beers while watching all the activity outside. It was during the holidays, and there was an ice skating rink nearby, so the area was jammed with families and couples going skating. I will definitely return the next time I stop in Chattanooga!
