World of Beer

World of Beer Because there’s no better place to go around the world, one sip at a time.

412 Market St. (423) 668-6808 worldofbeer.com

“The Beer Boom is happening,” declares Jeff Duport, General Manager of Chattanooga’s World of Beer, “and we’re in the middle of it.”

The first World of Beer was opened in Florida in 2007; since then, it has spread across the country on the waves of America’s renewed interest in craft beer.

Chattanooga’s World of Beer was opened last August, and in the months since then they have enjoyed sharing their passion for craft beer with everyone who has walked through their door.

Duport describes World of Beer’s atmosphere as communal. It is a place where you can come with your friends to enjoy some brews, swap stories, and watch a game. Right now, World of Beer is gearing up to start Wednesday night beer bingo, and Thursday nights are all about being local—emphasizing local beers and featuring live music by local bands.

A few weeks ago, World of Beer began BEERunch, which, as its name implies, is a Sunday brunch that includes menu items such as the beermosa and Belgian beer waffles. You would not have seen the first BEERunch advertised anywhere, though. “We do things quietly,” Duport comments. “We wanted to see how it would develop naturally. So we just put a BEERunch sign out on the sidewalk, and everyone who showed up for the first one loved it.”

Everything on World of Beer’s menu is fresh-made from scratch and shows an attention to detail similar to that found in their beer program. To sample their eatable wares, stop by on Sunday for BEERunch or any weekday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a delicious tavern fare lunch.

16 • The Pulse • March 19, 2015 • spring drink • chattanoogapulse.com

Of course the main emphasis at World of Beer is, well, beer. “By the end of 2015,” explains Duport, “there will be over 4,000 craft breweries in the U.S. alone. We bring in beers of the best craft variety from around the world, and our menu changes daily. In fact, right now, we have about 530 different bottles ready to go.”

A quick glance around the interior of World of Beer is all it takes to verify this claim; behind the expansive bar, whatever wall space is not devoted to their taps (62 of them to be exact) is taken up by well-lit coolers full of beer sorted by country of origin.

“Don’t be intimidated by the selection, though,” Duport advises. “We’re here to help you figure out what you’d like.” In fact, everyone who works at World of Beer has received extensive training at what they lovingly refer to as “Beer School”, where they learn the history and unique characteristics of each beer in the impressive inventory, bottle by bottle.

Duport would like to offer this unique educational opportunity to customers soon, too. Until that time, rest easy in the knowledge that the staff at World of Beer is ready and eager to aid your beer selection.

“If you tell us you’re new to craft beer,” Duport explains, “we’ll start by asking you about what you already drink. If you tell us the type of wine you enjoy or what kind of alcohol you have in your fridge right now, then we can figure out your taste profile and recommend a beer to you based on that. Craft beer has awakened America’s palate, and here at World of Beer we’re excited to share our knowledge and experience with you.”

Bella Vita Ultra Lounge From when you first drive up to Bella Vita and see the Valet Parking sign on the extensive stone patio, to when you walk in and see the high ceilings, cherry wooden floors and water fountain upon entrance, it is clear that Bella Vita is more than just a restaurant.

Since its grand opening this past January, Bella Vita’s fine dining experience has been drawing the attention of Chattanooga residents. Located in the Southside district at 1400 Cowart St., they are open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Saturday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. They are also excited about the opening of their wonderful patio seating as well as their brand-new Sunday Brunch that starts this week from 11 a.m. to 3. p.m.

Not only is Bella Vita’s dining experience of Southern-infused Mediterranean-inspired cuisine open for lunch and dinner, but they also keep the energy alive on Friday and Saturday nights through the Ultra Lounge.

a.m., is located on the second floor above the dining room area. The Ultra Lounge has light pink walls and comes complete with white leather couches, hightop bar tables, a “fire bar” where liquor is displayed in front of bright orange neon lighting and light columns in the center of the room that decorate the night club atmosphere with blue neon, strobe lighting, and sound systems. According to the staff, the Ultra Lounge has been a popular dance club spot since their opening.

Aside from the fresh atmosphere, popular menu items include the Bella Vita Burger, a Mediterranean-seasoned patty topped with applewood smoked bacon, and the Italian beef sandwich, 1400 Cowart St served with prosciutto-wrapped white asparagus.

Sing It or Wing It

For the last five years, there’s been a little place on Market Street that’s been known for delicious chicken wings and a mixed bag of selfstyled musical artists. But Sing It or Wing It is so much more.

When owner Gina Bennett left NewsChannel 9 after 20 years, it was a leap of faith. In 2010 she landed on both feet and hit the ground running. Almost from the very first, the pub-food-with-karaoke business model was a success in the talent-rich city of Chattanooga.

Bennett decided that the menu should reflect the musical connection, so she created culinary treats like “Skynyrd Pretzels” where “that smell” is distinct with Parmesan cheese and served with marinara sauce. Or maybe your taste leans more toward “Aretha Fried Okra” which demands “Respect” for this Southern favorite.

If you want to spice it up, order the Jerry Lee. These “Great Balls of Fire” are made with shredded chicken, two kinds of cheese, onions and a splash of hot sauce, deep fried and

served with a side of blue cheese.

The pub food and appetizers are complemented by entrees like Black Angus Burgers, Steaks, Tuna, Salmon Ribs and Pork Chops.

But food is only part of the equation. Sing It or Wing It has a full bar with about 60 different beers as well as a wide variety of specialty mixed drinks. There are daily drink specials, such as 14 different kinds of 18-ounce fish bowls including Long Island Tea, Margaritas, Hurricanes and the Grateful Dead.

Wednesdays are particularly fun with $5 Double Wells and “Gong Show Karaoke.”

Bennett describes Sing It or Wing It as a “karaoke restaurant where you can sing whenever the mood hits you.” The downtown eatery is also very popular for birthday, anniversary and office parties, or just a great, entertaining family-nightout.

Sing It or Wing It is open Tuesday-Sunday, but open on Mondays for private parties. Online at singitorwingit-chattanooga.com.

Southern Burger Co. Don’t just “kinda” take a bite…dig in and grab some extra napkins because these are the meatiest gourmet burgers you’ve ever tasted. Southern Burger Co. began as a food truck delivering delicious meals to the people of Chattanooga back in 2011. The location has changed since then, but the flavorful burger patties have remained the same.

Now stationed in Ooltewah at the Cambridge Square Towncenter, the restaurant welcomes people in Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and on Sunday for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Southern Burger has something for everyone on the menu: the spicy Habanero Burger, a pimento cheese patty melt, the buffalo chicken sandwich, two veggie burgers, and house-made desserts.

You can also build your own burger: pick your bun, choose from a chicken, beef, turkey or veggie patty, add some Southern sauce with your ketchup and mustard, choose from eight different cheeses,

trivia

and top it off with premium toppings—like sautéed mushrooms, sliced avocado, or habanero jam. And don’t forget the great selection of craft beer to complete your meal: they sport the largest selection of nitro taps in the city!

Not only is the menu mouthwatering, but Southern Burger also has weekly events to keep the crowds coming. Every Tuesday is Trivia Night, which is free to play, every Wednesday is College Night, where college students receive a discount on burgers by showing their student ID, and every Thursday is Pint Night, when you can buy pints of craft beer for just $3 each and take

home a souvenir glass.

You work hard. Southern Burger has created a place for you to relax and enjoy good times with friends and family. Whether you’re stopping by on the way home from work or planning a night out, Southern Burger will satisfy your taste buds.

The Acropolis

When you think of Greece, you think of the bright blues and whites of the Cyclades islands, the simple bold flavors of the Mediterranean and the warm hospitality of the people. The Acropolis Mediterranean Grill has been serving up Greek hospitality and delicious, worldclass food to hungry Chattanoogans for two decades under the watchful eyes of the Kyriakidis family.

A recent renovation to the spacious Hamilton Place restaurant includes a fresh new look for the dining room, the addition of more Mediterranean-style, small plates to the menu and an expanded bar space and outdoor patio. With the expanded bar space comes a collection of 10 drafts, which provide the discerning beer aficionado with a selection of local beers from brewers such as Chattanooga Brewing Company and McHales Brewhouse to regional craft breweries and artisan favorites like the award winning Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA or Mythos Greek Lager.

As warm weather approaches, the Acropolis’ outdoor patio will be the place to enjoy the warm afternoons

and crisp nights of spring over a finely crafted Moscow Mule, lively conversation and a plate of crispy calamari. Sit back under the stars and enjoy a strawberry lemonade made with house-infused strawberry vodka and a hint of rosemary while you nibble on a plate of flavorpacked Greek nachos. With plenty of outdoor seating and a sprawling modern bar, it’s hard to imagine a more relaxing place to meet and celebrate life with friends or family.

Come in for a snack and cold beer after work, meet some friends for drinks before catching a movie, or gather the family to share a delightfully delicious meal, good laughs and the pleasure of celebrating life.

Heaven & Ale Rounding out its second year on Chattanooga's Northshore, Heaven & Ale's formula of part tasting room, part retail shop, and part beer garden continues to attract regulars and newcomers alike. Soon they will open a second location in Ooltewah's Cambridge Square development and the owners look forward to more growth in the coming year.

When owner Joe Winland created his tasting room and growler shop concept, his primary goal was to balance variety and freshness, give customers the opportunity to sample beers in the spirit of a wine tasting room and to allow people to taste the beer before buying to ensure they are taking home something they love.

“There is a craft beer for everyone’s taste, and we try to showcase that,” Joe says, “We have everything from sweet to bitter, light to dark, familiar to wild. ‘Craft’ doesn’t always mean weird, wild, and crazy,” continues Joe. “Craft really just means the beer is brewed with fresh, high-quality ingredients and with a certain amount of love. Whether it’s a light lager, a juicy IPA or a rich stout, craft

beers are an overall better product.”

Heaven & Ale features 24 carefully selected craft brews on tap which rotate regularly to focus on freshness, seasonality and variety. They sell growlers to-go as well as pints and flights to sip and enjoy in the shop, outside on the deck or in the beer garden. Heaven & Ale also does on-site catering for weddings, corporate parties, backyard bashes and everything in between.

So what’s a growler and why drink beer this way? “A growler is a 32 or 64 ounce reusable container for draught beer,” Joe says. “And because our beer is always fresh and our growlers are properly treated, it’s as close to a tasting experience in a brewery’s taproom as you can get.

I think I’m like a lot of beer drinkers. When I’m

given a choice, I almost always choose draught beer. Growlers let you take fresh draught beer anywhere.”

Events to look out for at Heaven & Ale are Tuesday night pint nights, with deeply discounted pints and food trucks; brewery tap takeovers, with specialty brews, giveaways and lots of craft beer chat; and seasonal beer pairing dinners.
