Heading to Nashville

I would say he has the best ribs in town, they are great. Each place has something they do better then another place, but my fave in town is a pop up/truck that does events around twon every other week or so. Its called The Oak, they do Texas style so it gets some of the locals going about how thats not real bbq, but its amazing. They were at Southern grist last saturday, id still go if it was at the worst brewery ever as the food is that good.

 

Awesome info guys. Going this weekend and love all the beer and food tips. Keep them coming!

 

#1 bachelorette party city in the NATION! Oh yeah, about the beer, There is a small place south west of town called Tailgate ( https://www.tailgatebeer.com/ ) that is pretty neat. They offer tours. Another location in town;
1538 Demonbreun St (This location does not offer tours) Nashville, TN 37203

 

I cannot vouch for either of these places enough. Recently took a road trip for my honeymoon and hit these places while in Nashville. Needless to say, I left with some cans. Great experience at both breweries. For the record, it seemed that the Nations taproom for Southern Grist had more to offer, so I went there instead. My understanding is that it is the newer location, just a heads up.

 

They recently opened another location on the east side as well, 811 Gallatin Ave Nashville, TN 37206. I haven't been but I'm pretty sure it is just a tap room, no tours.

 

Ill be in nashville this tues and wed. The above seems focused on NEIPAs. Any recommendations for stouts? (doesnt need to be imperial nor rare).

We're staying downtown.

Also, any nice and long running trails?

 

Any Tilquin or 3F floating around Nashville currently?

Southern Grist currently has two on tap, and Bearded Iris has one

 

thank you.

 

Which brewery tours are most recommended?

 

There is tilquin for sure, 3F would be bought out in a few minutes if it hit the shelves locally .

 

Craft Brewed still had bottles of Tilquin Gueuze when I was there yesterday

 

A few other stores that dont get picked over too much have them too, and one store has Jester King Spon bottles still

 

I discovered the Spon bottles last week. Was quite surprised to see them on the shelf and inquired what led to that happening.

 

Yeah you should sign up for their email, they also had bottles of Fou and 3F Oude Gueze for sale for retail, it was a nice treat.

 

I’m in town next week for a run of shows at the Ryman. Is there a decent place for beer within walking distance just before the show? The main strip isn’t really my scene.

 

When I was there I hit up City Tap Room which was ok, Flying Saucer, a little further out, but easy walking and there is Hops and Craft which I didn't try. Acme Feed and Seed we hit at nite and it was a shitshow, but they seemed to have the best beer on the Strip.

 

Flying saucer is best bet, City tap is new and there is always the Beer Sellar in that area. BI and Grist are both about 10-15 minute uber ride away at most as well

 

City Tap has had some good stuff on tap the past couple of times I’ve been there and the food is solid. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

 

Another vote for the Flying Saucer, though Bearded Iris and Craft Brewed would be my main recommendations. Each a ~5 - 10 min Uber ride from downtown. Flying Saucer would be my pick if you really want walking distance to the Ryman.
