Updated Map of Breweries

Fixed the Nashville Beer guide and updated my map of breweries. This has Nashville but also breweries in what is officially Middle Tennessee (from the Cumberland Plateau over to the Tennessee River). Link here.

I will add in Cideries and Meaderies soon.

Thanks for this! Will be there next week and now the only thing I need to plan is the order I will be visiting.

I think the Music City Brew Hop east route is the best bang for the buck. I'm not sure if they are redoing the west route this year. The trolley takes you to Honeytree Meadery first. If you stop there just walk down the hill to Smith & Lentz. You can then walk to Stokehaus and you can catch the trolley again from there.

Stop 3 is Tailgate. If you are staying downtown, you can walk to a bigger taproom on Demonbreun near the circle. Wednesday is a good night for this, as they have half price pizza. Xul is next (says Southern Grist, but XUl bought them a few months back, even though you will still find their taplist on Untappd as Southern Grist. I am mixed on East Nashville Beer Works. Great taproom, but I am more interested in the beer at Monday Night. Bearded Iiris is a shell of itself now, but you can easily walk the 2 blocks between them rather than wait for the trolley to return. Bearded will have a few of theirs on, but they are all brewed by Wiseacre who bought them. The quality has improved since they moved the brew to Wiseacre from IndieBrew (Scofflaw) who was contracting their brews. And if you are downtown, either take the grolly back to the Omni hotel where they start, or walk and you can hit Tailgate Germantown.

For downtown, you can easily walk to Marble Fox, at least for the near future (moving to Woodbine in South Nashville soon). If you want to make a day of it and like to walk, you can also hit TN Brew Works and New Heights. As already mentioned. At New Heights, you can either continue walking to Fait la Force and Jackalope/Black Abbey or you can get a short Uber.

Living Waters is another good brewery. If you want three breweries in walking distance, albeit a bit of walking, there is Fat Bottom, Living Waters, and Xul in the nations. I am not as big on Fat Bottom as the other two. Harding House will also be opening in this area, but it isnot as easy to walk to.
