The brew master Marty Velas, who helped open the Smoky Mountain Brewery (1004 Parkway, 865-436-4200) in 1996, knows a thing or two about beer. He has collected some 6,000 bottles, half of which are lined along the exposed beams upstairs in this brewery pub. Try a pint of Mountain Light ($3.35) or, should you need more recovery from the rafting, a 33.8-ounce mug of the more potent Black Bear Ale ($5.50).
