Craft beer tasting room and growler market Heaven and Ale is adding a Southside location.

Founders Joe and Kathryn Winland already have two locations, one in North Chattanooga and one in Ooltewah. And they always had the Southside in mind for another business.

Celebration To celebrate the new location, Heaven and Ale is hosting a three-part block party series June 3, 10 and 17. Festivities will be from 4 to 9 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs, dogs and an appetite. Heaven and Ale will serve a curated selection of craft beer on draft, and local food trucks will be there. Click here for more information.

To launch the new market, they’ve partnered with John Biondolillo, whom Joe bonded with over a mutual love of craft beer and family.

“I wanted to open a craft beer store in my neighborhood that is family- and pet-friendly, and I think Heaven and Ale is a perfect fit,” Biondolillo, who lives in Jefferson Heights, said in a prepared statement. “The vibe is right, and the concept is something I know many of my neighbors and visitors to the Southside will be excited about.”

Heaven and Ale Southside will open this fall on Main Street, between the Jefferson Heights and Madison Park neighborhoods.

Joe said it will be similar to the North Shore and Ooltewah locations.

Flights, pints and growler fills, and light snacks will be available.

Customers will also be able to get a crowler, which is a 32-ounce can, filled on-site to take away, Joe said.

The Winlands are also working on opening a brewery, Heaven and Ale Brewing Co., with a taproom and food service. That project will occupy nearly 8,000 square feet of the redeveloped warehouse at 300 Cherokee Blvd.
