27 Best Craft Breweries in Nashville

“Really, really good food and beer! Awesome clean spot!!“

“Had the ribs and collards yesterday evening , both were outstanding. Highly enjoyed“

“Okay, this place is pretty frickin fantastic! Quaint little patio, but a packed inner sanctum where the bards would sing, the monks would chant, and you and I would imbibe with an amazingly blessed brew. One hundred percent a spectacular time with records playin, semi comunity seating and beers so good you cant help but join the conversation at the tables. Hang out, but watch out, these brew pack a punch. Staff is warm and welcoming, know their craft, and won't lead you astray. If you are a fan of ESBs, the Pub Brew is one of the best I've had. Enjoy!“

“Pies with a delicious firewood char. Unique specialty pizzas that are well balanced and keep you coming back for more slices. A loud, energetic environment, with lots of chatting and laughter. Great local beer selection on tap. Excellent place to meet up with friends!“

“Visited this last night and LOVED every minute of it ? The ambiance truly made us feel like we were back in Osaka I can’t recall the name of who served us, but they were SO knowledgeable, our experience was wonderful and I can’t wait to go back!Everything we tasted was also spectacular :)“

“New place opened 2 months ago, very nice and good beer, friendly staff and their Grand opening is this Sat 8/26!! Go check it out!! 🍺🍻“

“We stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and were thrilled they had 2 for 1 beers! I love the vibe, the scenery, the drafts, and the bartender was very nice & helpful. Also big compliments to whoever takes care of the plants! I've never seen so many live plants thriving like that!“

“Really, really good food and beer! Awesome clean spot!!“

“From the Chicago area, friendly and helpful staff, DELICIOUS IPAS (crisp and hoppy) and walked in to them playing the Spongebob movie downstairs. Played Mario Kart on the switch with a beer in hand 5“

“Of the 8 breweries I went to in Nashville, this and Yee Haw were my favorite.

Jackalope is just awesome. The aesthetic is fun and modern and the beer is great. Their location is a bit industrial, but they do a great job in making it a fun environment.

The lager and hazy are worth the time and I would recommend going big with their stain mugs.“

“Thank you Kent for a fantastic brewery tour. We learned a lot and appreciated your hospitality, expertise and generosity!“

“Great beer and a solid group pouring. Always a favorite place to hang!“

“Nice atmosphere! Good beer!“

“Dillon was a gem 🍺 full of knowledge and great stories he is willing to share! loved the atmosphere of this brewery in NashVegas! definitely true to brewery standards, go check em out!“

“If you’re checking out Nashville breweries, Fait la Force is an absolute must. The Gilded Age vibe paired with true to style crisp lager and Pilsner options quickly endeared me to today’s treasured find. Put the super kind bar staff on top and you have yourself a superb brewery experience.“

“Really neat brewery in the East Nashville area. The staff were so friendly and funny and we had a great time sitting at the bar chatting with them. The beers were delicious and it seems they rotate taps fairly often, which makes coming back all the more exciting knowing there will be some new brews to taste!“

“Stopped by on two day trip to Nashville. The staff was amazing … very friendly and welcoming. I only had time for one beer and was summoned to meet a friend at a local restaurant. I had the Wit beer and it was probably one of the best Wit beers I’ve had. I don’t say that lightly either. I’m a a huge German and Belgian beer drinker. My wife and I recently returned from a 30 day beer drinking trip across Europe starting in Munich. This beer hit all the right notes for my tastebuds. Will 100% return. I travel through Nashville multiple times a year.“

“We really loved Southern Grist when we first found it. Great craft beers and a great food menu, but as of late, the food menu disappoints. Anyone can do burgers and beers. Bring back the chicken sandwich, bao buns and vinegar potatoes. Your menu made you unique now you’re just like everyone else.“

“Cool atmosphere and great combination of Bearded Iris beer with Black Dynasty Ramen for food. Arguably the best drink and food combo we've had in Nashville . Focusing on the Bearded Iris , I had the Delightful Stranger Pilsner which was very smooth and drinkable. My wife had the strawberry Chocolate Milk Stout. She loved. The real winner here and such a lost art was the overall customer service and friendliness of the bartender and other folks associated with Bearded Iris. Personable but not overly so where it is so fake. Just honest , efficient service. Very much appreciated and kudos to the team over there.“

“Really, really good food and beer! Awesome clean spot!!“

“I like this place. Typical back end industrial complex, but when you walk in, it's got a great brewery feel. Had myself some wing and fries from the independent food stuff store inside the building. Beers are good. I've had the same all around, a nice to like-brown ale wasn't watery, and a classic Czech pilsner hit the spot. I like the Santa's summer vacay and the calla IPA the best. 6 serving flight! Nice. Worth the visit, they got a whole menu of beer not just 5 or 6. Atmosphere is open, plenty of tables and bar stools alike. Service was good, knowledgeable beer drafters helping me pick out my first time here beers. When I had my visit I noticed kids were welcomed if that helps. Thank you I enjoyed my visit. Thanks Ty for recommendations.“

“My favorite place. Great beers, ciders, and food. but a special shout out to all the wonderful staff - past and present - that make it a special place! ❤️🤘“

“Good food and Great Beer. Oh and the stall is good as well. I can see me going back many more times.“

“I love working remote here when I get the chance to do so.

-A chilled environment
-The baristas / bartenders are friendly
-The breakfast burritos (specifically the Chorizo one)...Heavily underrated when it comes to quality and taste
-The craft beer is smooth and delicious

If you're wanting to chill and relax in East Nashville, considered Living Waters Brewing.“

“One of the fastest paced and brightest brewery stations in the airport. Always at least one rotating tap, plus a range of staples. They also have a to-go flight pack -- a preset 6-pack of three mainstays -- that is a really good value ($11 in 2023).“

“My BIL and friend were in town, and we came here for a Saturday lunch and beer session.

It was packed, but we found four at the bar and grabbed a seat. Janet, the owner, was super cool, and we bullshitted a bit while we chowed on some good bar grub and drank really good beers. They brew on site and host some other companies' beverages.

It's a big industrial space in a mall with free parking validated at the bar with a really good vibe. They host Saturday college football, and it was a lively crowd.

Here's the Breakdown:

Good food and great beers in a fun place with fantastic beertenders (and the brewers kid helping bus and refill waters) +5 stars.

I will, for sure, go back“
