Bearded Iris Brewing

Bearded Iris Brewing - Van Buren location Nashville

Funky old an large building, Brewery and tasting room, high ceilings, chandelier, out door
Deck, chill atmosphere and music spinning … all with a bunch of their own on tap and a fridge fulll of hazy cans to go. Food trucks to go. Delicious and fresh hazies abound …
Worthy and atmosphere infused spot…..fine place for a visit and to pick up quality brews in tall cans.

 

 

Mainly a NEIPA-type place with some other items on tap. Did not notice food options.

Cool place. Inside has open view of the brewery and smells like hops and malt. There is a pool table and tables and a bar area to order beer. The outside has a nice patio with tables and a food truck. Selection is mostly IPAs. Worth a stop.

Fairly decent selection of beer styles. Mostly hoppy-stuff, and many of their IPA’s are great. An occasional big stout available. This place gets packed in the evenings, and because of that, service can be a bit slow.

An odd spot tucked into an industrial zone north of downtown, the space is itself somewhat schizophrenic, with a classic bar set up in what feels more like a room converted from a warehouse building, and a deck that is lovely, except for the harsh, spare manufacturing zone over which it looks. All of which is secondary to the friendly staff, nice crowd, and lived-in feel of the space. The beer is exactly what you'd expect from Bearded Iris, if you know their work. Lots of NEIPAs, a smattering of other options, but so many options to explore that I walked away with an embarrassing number of 4-packs that I proceeded to haul home for consumption over the following weeks. The beer, in the end, is king, and it delivered in spades. I'd come here regularly if I were local, and know I'll be back again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A mecca for NEIPA (and IPA's in general) lovers in the southeast. I love to go there so that I can stock up on good fresh IPA's. A visit there is a religious experience.

Went with friends before a soccer game. Very average 2020s brewery experience: packed, loud, fun environment but underwhelming beers with little diversity in style. Ho-hum at best, forgettable at worst.

 

No doubt, the very best Nashville has to offer, as far as brewery and quality goes. Do yourself a favor and stop by. The Germantown area in general is cool as well.

Serious beer brewers with a great future!

 

This is one of the coolest production taprooms I think I've ever been in. Strewn about seating under large, functional chandelier surrounded by unique wall art capped off by a cool backdrop to the bar in a large old-meets-new decorative portrait frame for the taplist.

A long separate bar top faces the production area, where a DJ was mixing some tunes while we were there. The lights were set low and the DJ had some projectors in case anyone had ants in their pants, and the brewing area was also dimly lit. It's both simultaneously mellow and high energy hip. There's also a fairly sizeable outdoor patio if you'd like to further mellow out in the Nashville heat, where the music is also pumped out to.

The tap list was almost entirely dominated by variations on IPA, but for a pilsner and a kettle sour. I've never been too floored by any beer of theirs I've gotten in trades, and that held true during my visit as well. The quality is all right, they just don't seem to be hitting their potential as far as flavor profiles.

 

The spot generating the most buzz from the Music City. I happened to get to the taproom minutes before a mob of people, coming in for a can release. In the few minutes before I was overtaken by the swarm, I loved the quirky feel of the taproom. The beer is really, really quality. I wish I would've picked a different day to stop by. I feel like I didn't get to really enjoy all this place has to offer.

 

 

Stopped at the brewery on our way back from Cincinnati. A bit hard to find but definitely worth the effort. The service was outstanding, friendly and helpful. Enjoyed the vibe very much. Great beer people.

The beers I had were great, very high quality. Will go back when I can.

Visited for their three anniversary party/release. The staff rocks and were super chill and friendly. They actually bought doughnuts, coffee, and brought out heaters for everyone who waited in line in the elements. They controlled the line and accommodated as best they could. The draft selection was on point and the ambiance was something I really enjoyed. I will absolutely visit again when in Nashville.

 

 

Chill vibe, with help and advice at the bar (no table service when I was there). Cozy atmosphere, with tables, couches and a pool table. Ten or so beers available for tasting, half and full pours. Growlers, 4-packs and march for takeaway.

 

 

 

 

 

Large warehouse production facility with back section set up as tasting room. Small bar seat 10, 4 or 5 tables inside - along with a pool table, and about 20 picnic tables outside. 8 beers on tap, all solid... friendly service. Rainy day when I was there; looking forward to returning.
