Nothing beats the free beer offered to fans April 7 at Covenant Health Park, but the refillable Knoxville Smokies mason jars are the next-best thing for anyone planning to be at the stadium more than once this season.
We'll do the math for you. You can spend $9.50 or $10.50 to get a standard 20-ounce draft beer at a Smokies game − not the worst deal compared to some stadium prices. A refillable mason jar, for comparison, is 24 ounces of draft beer for $19.
That extra $10 (card-only at the stadium) gets you a few things:
That's not just for the game you're attending, said Amanda Ayers Moore, business and HR manager for Professional Sports Catering at Covenant Health Park. The deal applies to every Smokies game on the schedule and, new in 2026, is also valid for any event at the stadium, including One Knoxville SC matches.
You have to remember to clean the mason jar and bring it with you each visit, otherwise you'll risk accumulating plasticware and crowding up your cabinets.
The important question: Is it worth it? It's a simple answer any way you slice it, so we'll simplify the math. Let's just meet in the middle and say the average 20-ounce beer costs $10, and let's forget the extra four ounces in the mason jar.
The mason jar is worth it if you're planning to have four beers at the stadium in 2026 across baseball games, soccer games and other events. If that's you, just keep in mind this only applies to draft beer.
And the deal gets sweeter if your Thursday nights are free. Each week on Thirsty Thursday, when all fans enjoy half-price beer (and the team adopts its Knox Vegas alter ego), mason jar refills are just $3.

That extra $10 (card-only at the stadium) gets you a few things:
- One, a souvenir cup that you can take home − just don't put these in the dishwasher because they're known to warp.
- Two, an extra four ounces compared to the standard stadium beer size.
- Three (and most importantly), $6 refills any time you bring the mason jar back to a stand serving draft beer.
