Hutton & Smith Brewing Co.GNEISS BEER BY PEOPLE WHO GIVE A SCHIST
HUTTON & SMITH .... and CATS
James Hutton and William “Strata” Smith are considered the fathers of modern geology. In “The Theory of the Earth”, Hutton, a Scot from Edinburgh, illustrates the concept of deep time – the immense expanses of time over which geological changes occur. The Englishman Smith produced the first geological map of the earth, a revolutionary feat, detailing regional geology. Though we can only speculate, it is certainly possible that at some point they imagined what it might be like to brew their own beer, while observing and petting some nice kitties, animal friends they most certainly loved as much as we do ours. Through their names, Hutton & Smith Brewing Co. pays homage to these two beer drinking pioneers of their field…and also to Cats, because we can.

Will Run for the Good Schist!
Water is the main ingredient in beer and our water processes reflect the importance of how our water is treated. We create ideal water conditions which highlight the flavor and aroma of all of the styles we brew. We use reverse osmosis water exclusively in all of our brews, stripping it of virtually all mineral content and rebuilding it with our own mineral additions for each and every recipe.
Many of our beers have a volcanic blast of hop presence. However, we source hops from around the world to appropriately compliment everything from the darkest stout to the lightest lager.
We implement multiple ale and lager yeast strains under the most strict quality assurance and fermentation conditions in order to produce high quality representations of all the beer styles we brew.
Sourcing the highest quality domestic, English, German, Irish, and Belgian malts allows us to produce the most flavorful character and body for the multitude of styles we brew.

WHY HUTTON & SMITH?
We moved to Chattanooga to pursue a dream of opening a brewery, to live somewhere with ample outdoor and recreational activities, and to exist in a supportive and friendly business and residential community. This decision has been better than we could have imagined, we’ve made the best of friends, and been welcomed by an amazing craft beer community that has appreciated all of our brewing efforts. We give the biggest thanks to all of our supporters and friends!
We hope to see you in the taproom, where we can pet your dog while talking about our cats, and have a tasty craft beer!
