Lilly Pad Hopyard Brewery

We are a small batch, craft brewery on the Cumberland Plateau adjacent to the Obed Wild and Scenic River National Park. We serve home-grown beer. It is not unusual for us to use our own hops, honey, herbs and berries. Our beer is simple, clean, and delicious.

The evolution of our campground and the brewery is a unique story that is best shared around a campfire with a cold pint. But here are the cliffnotes: I am Del and we are the “Scruggs.” Our name means, “thin scraggly person who dwells under bushes.” So here we are dwelling deep in the woods of our beloved Tennessee playing host to amazing people from all over the world. Most of these guest, like ourselves, love a nice cold pint of homebrew.  I rediscovered my love of homebrewing and began creating homegrown beer made simply for our family, friends, and guests. My beer hit the spot and the demand for it became more than I could accommodate with my small homebrew system. I decided to take the leap, build a brewery and make larger batches of our homegrown beer.

That is where we are today…enjoying bonafide pints of our homegrown beer made simply for my family, friends and guests.
