Rebirth and Reinvention — As Chattanooga Grows and Changes, Local Beer Follows Along
After downing a second beer at Chattanooga Brewing Company, a rich plum Sour cheekily named “Carry on My Wayward Plum,” I take a short hop down to the brewpub Hello Monty. Hello Monty opened in 2021 and contains a true brewery, Dynamo Brewing, within its walls. Though the name is new to most, the brothers who run the place are recognizable to any Chattanoogan who loves craft beer. Restaurateur Rob Gentry and brewer Clay Gentry, along with restaurateur Tim Hennen, are responsible for bringing craft beer back to Chattanooga.
