Same size, bigger deal. Is the 2026 Smokies mason jar worth the price?
Knoxville Smokies fans can save on beer with a refillable mason jar at Covenant Health Park. We do the math to see if it's worth it.
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: 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.
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.
