As Nashville grows, so does its craft beer scene. As a town we’re so fortunate to have some fine people brewing some great beer. If you’ve just moved to town, are passing through, or you’ve been here a while, visit one of the fine establishments below to grab a cheeky pint or two.
The list below is my curated list of Nashville breweries, I do my best to keep the list as updated as I can, but as breweries move, grow, and expand, it can be hard to maintain a 100% accurate list (but it’s pretty close!). Each brewery is as welcoming as the next, and they would love for you to sample their craft. Stop by for a pint y’all!
Latest Update: January 2024 – Updated the list with a new brewery! Also added some general organization to the list to be more specific about the area of town each brewery is in.
Nashville Brewery Locations
Breweries in East Nashville
About a five minute car ride just east of downtown and over the Cumberland river, the breweries in East Nashville are a mix of up the and coming brewery, such as Crazy Gnome, and the more well established East Nashville Beer Works.
East Nashville Beer Works
Website: http://www.eastnashbeerworks.com/home/
Recommended Beer: One of their IPAs (hello Woodland St), but you’d be missing out if you didn’t try one of the other beers on offer, such as a stout or pilsner.
Food Options: Known for their pizzas, East Nashville Beer Works have just updated their menu with other food choices such as salads and some great appetizers too.
Other Notes: Dog friendly and kid friendly. It can get a little hectic when little ones with four and two legs start running around during peak hours though.
Address: 320 E. Trinity Lane, Nashville, TN 37207
Crazy Gnome Brewing
Website: https://www.cgbrewing.com
Address: 948 Main Street, Nashville, TN 37206
Food Options: Food trucks visit on occasion. Check Crazy Gnome’s Instagram for more.
Other Notes: Very game friendly for groups. When we visited there were people hanging out and playing card games. They also have comedy nights. Would not feel awkward popping in here on my own for a cheeky one! Super friendly folks, and check out their cool mushroom shaped flight carriers!
