Heading to Nashville for the weekend for a bachelor party. Going to mostly be in the west end/downtown are, heading to Corsair on Saturday. Any beers I should look for that I wouldn't normally find in Chicago? Thanks!
Won't find Sue at Corsair or Yazoo tap room. I work right above Corsair. They have a solid tap room as well as world class spirits. If you are in the West End area, head to the gulch. Yazoo there as well as some nice places for pints. On West End, I would check Blackstone. As far as bottles, you'll be closer to Frugal McDougals and Midtown than my favorite bottle shop in Nashville, Craft brewed. I would certainly hit Midtown over Frugal though.
We get lots of stuff you won't see in Chicago. Use www.seekabrew.com and compare TN and IL distribution to see what we get that you don't. Some things I know off hand are Straight to Ale (Unobtanium, BA Laikas if you still can find them), Rivertown (all their sours, like Lambic, Gueuze, etc.), Good People (nice local-ish IPA), Yazoo (Sue and Hefeweizen are my faves from them), and Blackstone (Black Belle is a great stout). A visit to Yazoo's taproom might yield you some nice draft only stuff you won't find elsewhere in town. Cheers!
