Really appreciate that, I will be sure to update this thread as we continue forward, and of course NEXT season, be sure to come catch Vol games at the brewery!

Also curious, what styles do you plan on focusing? And if it's a wide variety, which ones are your forte?

Right now our main focus is on Stouts (Traditional and Pastry), Kettle Sours, and IPAs....we have a solid home brew record with Hoppy Blondes, Saisons, and Pilsners. So we want to feature one of nearly all styles. 16 taps total, with 6-8 "always on" taps and 6-8 often rotating small batch taps. (small meaning under a barrel or 31 gallons)

We are currently putting Stouts into Barrels for aging, as well as spontaneous fermented wild and sour ales into Oak barrels for aging 1-2 years. Overall I just love making beer, im doing this with zero investors, zero help from family and friends, while my wife and I keep our day jobs for the time being until hopefully the brewery takes off and it will be our only job.

pictured below is a Pastry stout called From Bali with Smores, which was brewed with standard stout base malts, brown sugar, graham crackers, cocoa, marshmallow vodka soaked Balinese vanilla beans ( i actually got them in bali a few months back on vacation), also a kettle sour imperial Berliner Weiss, brewed with mangos from my back yard, and a Single IPA, NE style hopped with Citra and Mosaic hops

We have been lucky enough to have a huge following down here and some bars have let us pour for free to get samples out, as you can see form the below menu, and that beer is pictured above the menu

Haven’t been around in a while, but this thread is always home to me. I’ll start out with the bad news. Has this beer last night and given that I drive this all the time and I like both breweries, this collaboration was absolutely awful. View attachment 164331

Had that at their taproom the other day. Coffee and ass.

Have been impressed with Southern Grist of late tho.

They’ve put out some great stuff lately. Loved their Thrice Berry Hill.

They had a pineapple raspberry hill on Tuesday that was really nice.

The Coffee Fluffernutter stout they had on a month or so ago was fantastic in my opinion.

I buy that stuff up. Pineapple Raspberry and Fluffernutter were great. Really liked the Moves Like Jaggery too.

Yeah, I’ve definitely been in their taproom in the nations pretty frequently of late. I think they’ve impressed me more than pretty much anyone else in Nashville over the last couple of months.

Did you try the Coffee Fluffernutter? The original was good, but I thought the coffee version was on another level.

I did, was much better. They make great stouts, just wish the body was a little thicker. My only complaint about these guys.

Wife and I got invited to Starr Hill's tasting room in our city tonight to try out some of their upcoming seasonals. We work with them to do baked goods/beer pairings so I get to benefit from previews :D

Grist is my jam. Best stouts around. Great variety. Love all the canning they can do now.

Have a bottle of Moves Like Jaggerty left.

Finished off the Fluffernutter real quick.

It’s not just that they are making great beer, but they owners and bartenders are excellent people. I’m partial to East Nashville over the Nations though.

Recommendations on good places to grab some beers in Chattanooga? Taking an overnight trip to hike and do a few things, haven’t ever really went out there and don’t think I’ve even been in 10-15 years.

They are starting to distribute to many other areas. Still cant get it in West TN.

I thought they signed a distribution agreement with Oskar Blues in 2016. But I just looked it up, and Oskar Blues bought them. That is helping them get to new states. Hopefully, Maduro will get to you soon.

Saw Florida Cracker at Publix a couple weeks ago and picked it up. Didn't know until I read the fine print on the can that it is actually brewed and canned by Oskar Blues.

I'd highly recommend OddStory and Heaven and Ale. The Flying Squirrel is a great bar that has 20 or so beers on rotating taps.

Also, if you haven't been in 10-15 years and remember what downtown and the surrounding area was like back then, you'll be absolutely blown away.

Thanks for the suggestions! All those were places I’d scoped out, so glad to hear they are worth checking out.

How’s Barley? That’s one more I’d looked at as well.

I haven't been there, but have heard good things. I've heard they have a ton of taps.

I'm only at the Nations for the bottle releases. I did go to their opening/anniversary too.

Haven’t been to the East Nasty taproom, the Nations is just closer to me in Dickson.

Heaven and Ale is good. Had some of their sours at FunkFest and was impressed so wish they had more on right now tho.
