Nashville has definitely boomed as a city in the last 10 years, and that trend has also been seen in its craft brewery scene. Not long ago, it seemed like Blackstone, Yazoo, and Jackalope were the only breweries in town, but these days, you can throw a rock from anywhere in the city and hit two new breweries. Don’t worry, folks — we’re here to help. We’ve put together this Nashville Brewery Trail that’ll take you to all of the city’s best spots.

The trail starts out on the west side of town at TailGate Brewery, a brewery known just as much for their beer as they are their killer taproom food. They are constantly having events and have all kinds of lawn games during the warmer months. (7300 Charlotte Pike)

Working in towards downtown, Fat Bottom Brewing Company is the next stop on the route. Their new location in the Nations has all kinds of outdoor seating but still offers all of the same Nashville favorites that they had in their old East Nashville location.
You might think it's strange that the next stop on the tour is a distillery, but this is no ordinary distillery. They also have plenty of beers on tap in addition to their craft liquors. Plus, the distillery has lots of resident cats, so you probably won't even want to leave. (1200 Clinton St #110)

On the other side of the Cumberland, Little Harpeth Brewing is known for their plethora of German-style beers. Plus, they're known for their community work and green brewing practices, so you're not just drinking beer -- you're also supporting a good cause. (30 Oldham St)
