USA, TN: Atomic City Brewing Co. now open in Oak Ridge

The new brewery and mini-golf attraction from Gypsy Circus Cidery is now open in Oak Ridge, the Oak Ridger reported on November 3.

Atomic City Brewing Co. is the first brewery in Oak Ridge. It's a part of The Greens, a mini-golf course operated by Gypsy Circus. There are actually three courses to play on, and several other games to play including giant chess and bocce ball.

There are four beers available from Atomic City Brewing Co.: Lit Lite, Y-12, Let the Sirens Ring and Human Shadows of Death. It's brewed exclusively onsite.

The Greens by Gypsy Circus opened Nov. 2. It is open 4-10 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m-10 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday.

Gypsy Circus Cider was started in 2016 in Kingsport, Tennessee, by Aaron and Stephanie Carson.

"My wife's family is from Knoxville. I'm from East Tennessee originally," co-owner Aaron Carson said. "My grandfather is from (Oak Ridge). So to me, it is more of that connection that we have from a family standpoint."

Carson has converted the former mini golf location at 201 Tuskegee Drive to make room for 150 people to drink, eat and play.
