Common John Brewing Co.

Common John Brewing Co. stands as Manchester, Tennessee's original craft brewery, bringing exceptional beers to Coffee County since opening its doors in 2020. Founded by lifelong Manchester resident LeBron Haggard and his aunt Renee Haggard-Agee, this family-owned establishment emerged from a decade-long homebrewing journey that began in Haggard's garage in 2008. After spending 25 years in corporate America and visiting over 700 breweries while tasting more than 10,000 beers, Haggard finally fulfilled his dream of creating Manchester's very first craft brewery. The name Common John pays homage to a local Manchester band, reflecting the deep roots this business has in its community. Visitors can enjoy seven core beers on tap year-round, including the popular Universal Sound Imperial IPA at 8% ABV, the smooth Damage Control Pale Ale at 5.0%, and the rich Deeper Purpose Porter. The brewery also offers seasonal selections like Heathen Child Vienna Style Lager and the refreshing Lawdy Lawdy Mexican Lager. The taproom welcomes guests Wednesday through Sunday, featuring both indoor seating and a welcoming patio perfect for enjoying Tennessee's craft beer scene. With over 500 reviews averaging 4 stars, Common John has become a beloved gathering place where good beer and good people come together.
