Background on Cru, LLC and Harvest
Cru, LLC operates a business known as Harvest, situated at 5200 Kingston Pike in Knoxville. This establishment is part of a broader hospitality industry that has seen significant growth in the region. The Beer Board’s review process for cases like Cru, LLC’s is vital for maintaining the integrity of alcohol service within the community.
The Knoxville Beer Board is tasked with regulating and overseeing all aspects of alcohol sales in the city.
