Anything new worth mentioning TheGordianKnot? I just got in town and will be around until Saturday. Staying at the Aloft and have a car. I think I'm planning to hit breweries, including yours, tomorrow during the day. Hattie B's and Peg Leg are definitely on the list at some point as well.

Oh, and YITBOS!

Bump. Gonna be in town this weekend for a bachelor party. Anything different than what's already included in this thread I should know about?

So close-ish and yet so far.

Don't think I'm not well aware. One day...

A new brewery just opened up a week or so ago in the vicinity of Smith & Lentz and Southern Grist called East Nashville Beer Works... Haven't had the pleasure of checking them out myself quite yet, but I am going to try to swing by this weekend

Everything else is pretty same 'ol

Hey guys, my parents are going to Nashville tomorrow through Wednesday. They're big beer people and my dad has mapped some stuff out but where and what should they be drinking? My dad likes everything, my mom is into sour beers more than anything else.

Also, what should I ask them to bring me?

 

[FoudreGuy]

Bumping cause I can.

My parents got there yesterday, sounds like they had a good time last night. They went down to Mantra this morning, and they're at Bearded Iris right now. My mom just texted me a picture of a four-pack of the new Chasing Rainbows IPA they're bringing me and single cans of Attention Please, Homestyle and Scatterbrain. Anything else I should have them keep an eye out for? Good bottled saisons anywhere?

Chaising Rainbows is the worst Bearded Iris has canned by a lot. It's bad hazy. Love their other beers. Not much else to look for in cans or bottles. Southern Grist might have cans and does crowlers.

That's a bummer. Still excited to try it and the other three IPAs, though.

I hope it's better from the brewery and the cans had a bad trip up here. Everything else is great. It's nice to finally have some beer that I want to buy here and that it's brewed in TN is even better. Really cool tap room vibe, too. Hope your folks liked it.

Heading to Nashville with the wife in late May. I'm sure she'll entertain a stop or two. Anything outside of Yazoo, Southern Grist, Bearded Iris and Smith and Lentz that would be worth a stop if I'm limited to a couple stops while in Nashville? Staying at the Omni without a car so hoping to walk/short Uber to any available options.

Also any recommendations for an upscale-ish dining option? Tried to convince the wife on the Catbird Seat although she isn't a very adventurous eater so the lack of knowing the menu for that evening made it a no-go. Thanks in advance!

Husk has been phenomenal the few time I've been while staying in Nashville.

Well, the guy who opened Catbird recently opened a place called Bastion which I could not possibly recommend enough, however I doubt they publish their menu as well. If that's seriously a deal breaker (try hard to convince otherwise) then you cannot go wrong with Husk as mentioned above.. Beer wise, New Heights now has a taproom open and doing some really awesome stuff; a very short uber from downtown and even shorter to/from Yazoo if you wanted to combo. Same with Smith & Lentz and Southern Grist on the east side, very close to each other. If you need specifics on anything else in Nashville, or know for sure you'll be hitting Southern Grist when it gets closer, send me a PM! Cheers

Any exciting releases/fun stuff on draft this week? Flying into town on Thursday. How're local breweries about bringing in a bottle to share with the staff/other patrons?

Been a minute since I felt the sting of a Photekut like.

I'll be in Nashville next Friday through Sunday with my wife for her birthday. We have an AirBNB in East Nashville and reservations at Husk.

With the understanding that this is my wife's weekend and I probably won't have a ton of time, any place I need to check out beer/food wise?

I'd really try and hit a hot chicken place if that is at all in your wheelhouse (Boltons is probably my favorite after hitting a bunch of them ranging from touristy to super local), and trying the Embrace the Funk / sour / wild stuff at Yazoo is certainly worth an hour of your time.

Brandon is a friend so I'm biased, but I love what he is doing for a super reasonable price. Only issue is Yazoo used to have weird hours (opened late, closed early) but made for a great place to grab a beer or two before dinner. The other great beer spot I checked out last time was Smith and Lentz which had a smaller system and made really tasty beers in a variety of styles.

I've had a great time at Monell's with my family for the family style brunch on Saturday / Sunday where I've consumed way too much country ham, greens, sweet rolls, and other great ****, but not really a couples thing unless you want to sit with 6-8 other folks.

It's a really fun place and I hope you have a great time. There is a great coffee place we used to check out in East Nashville as well, but Google searching and images aren't bringing it up so I'll update this tomorrow once I check with my sister who used to live in that area.

Hot chicken is most definitely on the menu. I'll check out Yazoo as my wife digs sour/funky beers.

Fwiw, I've been enjoying all the hops that Bearded Iris has been canning. I have also enjoyed all the crowlers of Southern Grist PassMeAZima has been bringing back to share.

If you would like to add a second nice dinner place (Husk was a great choice, btw), see if you can get a reservation at Bastion - if that doesn't happen, at least go there and stay in the bar area for some of the best cocktails in town and amazing nachos for a snack. Also, if you really like cocktails, Rosemary and Attaboy are in East Nashville, so both closer to where you're staying and worth going.

I'm assuming the coffee place mentioned above in East is Barista Parlor - I couldn't say enough great things about them, they are a Nashville must visit coming from someone big into coffee. Crema and Steadfast are also two local coffee roasters worth checking out; however Sump just opened a Nashville location about a week ago, so that's exciting as well.

The food scene in Nashville is elevated daily it seems, some of the places that I like are - Butcher & Bee, Martins BBQ, Arnolds (meat and 3/southern), Boltons (Nashville hot chicken - a MUST if you like really spicy food, just be careful), Cafe Roze, Nashville Biscuit House (cheap, diner breakfast), City House, Henrietta Red (oyster menu is best in town), Mitchell Deli (sandwiches), Nicolettos (italian) Two Ten Jack (ramen)... Can't go wrong with any of these if you're in the mood for what type of cuisine they are. Lots of other great places as well, these just popped into my head immediately.

Southern Grist (in East Nashville, also close to 2/10 Jack, Mitchell Deli, and literally next door to Cafe Roze restaurants), Smith & Lentz (in East Nashville, also close to Boltons and Butcher & Bee), Bearded Iris (close to City House and Henrietta Red), and New Heights are all great breweries! Embrace the Funk series at Yazoo (close to Arnolds) is also awesome. If you hit Southern Grist, ask if Jared is there (me)

If you have any specific requests or questions, feel free to drop me a message! Enjoy Nashville

Biscuit Love and Barista Parlor in the morning, Peg Leg Porker for lunch, and Yazoo Brewing for afternoon HH.

They are all without walking distance of each other in the Gulch area. That's a nice way to spend half a day.

I'm not going to be in Nashville for a few months, but I'm doing some research at the moment so I had a few questions. I don't know where I'm staying yet, but I'll either have a car or will be able to Uber/Lyft around, so that's not an issue.

I think I have beer stuff covered for the most part, but which current beer bars are worth my time? How about cocktails?

Distilled spirits generally? I saw somebody suggest the Corsair way earlier in the thread. Is that still a worthwhile visit? Any others I might want to check out? Bars with good whiskey selections?

How about some fun touristy stuff? Which things are worth my time? I love me some touristy nonsense to breakup the booze and gluttony, and I trust all of your opinions on this.

And then if there are any other tips/suggestions that haven't already been mentioned in this short but very helpful thread, I'm all ears.

Thanks in advance for any help at all.

For touristy stuff, my wife and I liked the Johnny Cash museum. We went on Sunday morning and it was empty.

Think it was brought up earlier in the thread, but the best cocktails I've had in Nashville were at The Patterson House (sister bar of The Violet Hour in Chicago).

It's very touristy, but I enjoyed doing the tour at The Ryman Auditorium and echo the Johnny Cash Museum.

Pretty dead thread but if anyone is around for CBC and wants to grab a beer or give me some recommendations that would be swell. Already reading through the thread, good stuff here. Heading to Bearded Iris later today.

 

[JCastle1]

Bearded Iris is the hipsterest brewery I've ever been to. Even more than Other Half. If anyone wants to meet at Southern Grist tomorrow I'll buy the first round.

I get in late tonight and will be around through Friday afternoon. Let's meet up! Also let me know if you hit any must-visit spots the last few days. Cheers!

Didn't end up going to Southern Grist but went to a fantastic dinner spot called Henrietta Red. They're having an oyster and beer pairing with Creature Comforts this week that I will probably check out but no other plans apart from that.
