Gypsy Circus Cider + BBQ Smokehouse (Craft Beer & Brewery in Kingsport TN)

Barrelhouse by Gypsy Circus sits in Kingsport, Tennessee, proudly wearing the badge of the state’s very first cider bar and craft cidery. With twenty rotating taps, the place is a playground for the palate: the crisp, easy‑going Raindancer for those who favour a lighter touch, and the fragrant, slightly sweet Flower Child mead for anyone who thinks flowers belong in a glass. (The founders, long‑time collaborators, decided that variety should be the rule, not the exception.)

Beyond the drink, Barrelhouse doubles as a social hub, cramming Singo nights, live music gigs and improv sessions into a schedule that would make any calendar blush. The outdoor seating area adds a breezy, multi‑dimensional atmosphere, while the on‑site BBQ smokehouse dishes out smoked fare that hugs the cider’s fruitiness like a perfect duet. Seasonal ciders roll out with new, daring flavor combos, keeping regulars guessing and newcomers delighted.

The staff are a friendly, know‑how‑rich bunch, eager to explain the nuances between a cider’s tart snap and a mead’s floral whisper. In short, Gypsy Circus delivers craft, camaraderie, and a dash of irreverent charm – all without taking itself too seriously.
