If you haven’t noticed, craft beer has grown in popularity and with that growth comes more beer-related events than any one human could actually survive. So I’ve narrowed it down to the key Nashville beer events that are worth your time, money, and hangover.
Brew At The Zoo
Nashville Zoo
May 31st, 6:30-10:30pm
Have you ever watched flamingos buzzed? You’ll like it.
ShenaniGoats Yoga
East Nashville Beer Works
June 2nd, 10-11am
Drunken goat yoga. Pretty sure the goats stay sober but who knows what the day might bring.
Beer Dinner
Makeready
June 18th, 7pm
Makeready (delightful restaurant in the Noelle hotel) has invited Bearded Iris and Modern Times over to pair some very tasty beer with some very tasty food. You’re on the guest list, too! Except you have to pay for it.
Preds Craft Beer Festival
Bridgestone Arena
June 22nd, 10-11am
Only summer beer festival in Nashville where you won’t sweat your tits off. That’s a win for me.
Tickets $69Â until June 14th
Beer & Hymns
The Sutler w/ Black Abbey
June 20th, 7-10pm
Personally, this is one of my favorites. Last time I went, they had Gaston, a flautist, and several men in kilts participating.
Bikes & Beers
Yazoo
August 3rd, 9am
For those of you who enjoy pairing strenuous physical activity with your beer drinking, you can go on a 15 or 30-mile bike ride before enjoying your brewskies. I’ll meet you at the finish line. In the taproom. Three beers deep.
Middle Tennessee Highland Games and Celtic Festival
Percy Warner Park
September 7&8th, 9am-5pm
Ok so it’s not technically a beer event but can you think of a better context for drinking beer? Didn’t think so.
