Nashville is a city known for many things, and one of those more recent developments is its thriving beer scene—there are more than 150 breweries across Tennessee. A favorite spot is Tailgate Brewery, which has multiple locations in the city, including the popular Germantown neighborhood with a fantastic patio next to the Nashville Sounds baseball stadium and Brooklyn Bowl concert venue. This open-concept taproom has a 30-beer draft list and a scratch pizza kitchen.Â
If you head to Tailgate Brewery’s 7-acre headquarters campus in West Nashville, you can partake in immersive brewery tours. You’ll get a first-hand look at the process and ingredients and then get to sample the final product. This location also has 30 beers on draft, a full food menu, and an expansive outdoor seating area. If you like these kinds of tours, you’ll also want to book our guided tour of Honeytree Meadery for a behind-the-scenes look—which is one of Belle Air Mansion’s exclusive experiences.Â
