Drink Up Month is right around the corner — beginning this Saturday, July 1 — and we want to make sure you are prepared to celebrate. Drink Up is all about praising the beverage industry in the Chattanooga area.

Whether you’re a local coffee connoisseur, a craft beer buff, or a mocktail maven, there are plenty of options to celebrate your drink of choice all month long.
