Former Chattanooga resident Nathan Michaels returned home to open Five Wits Brewing Company in 2019 with long-time Denver brewers, Elliot Kehoe and Bryan Harris.
After nearly a decade in the Mile-High city, Michaels decided to return to Chattanooga alongside two friends and tenured brewers, Kehoe and Harris, who met while working together at Great Divide Brewing in Denver, Colorado – one of the Rocky Mountain region’s oldest and largest craft breweries. The trio will bring more than 15 years of craft brewing experience with them to this new Chattanooga craft brewery.
The Five Wits Brewing Company will also house a restaurant incubator, R&D Test Kitchen, that will host a rotating line-up of up-and-coming aspiring chefs and restaurateurs from all over the country. These aspiring chefs will apply for a residency program to occupy and operate their restaurant concepts in the R&D Test Kitchen as the sole food offering for the Five Wits Brewing tap room.
