    Bearded Iris Brewing

    Nashville, Tennessee, United States

    WHEN YOU SIT DOWN WITH A BEER, YOU’RE AFTER SOMETHING. Maybe it’s nuanced layers of flavor, the siren call of a favorite hop, or to test your skill identifying stone fruit tasting notes. Maybe you’re chasing the new or craving the familiar, perhaps you just want to kick back for a drink with friendsβ€”and order another of the same. At Bearded Iris, our beers meet you where you are and deliver the experience you seek, whatever it might be, because that’s what we believe makes beer worth drinking. CULTIVATE VARIETY DRIVES US AT BIBCO. (WE’RE NOT KIDDING.) With a menu that skews heavily toward IPAs, DIPAs, and pales, it can appear that we don’t, in fact, cultivate much β€œvariety.” But here’s the thing: we’re not looking to bombard you with a checklist of styles. Instead, we know that each hop varietal and every intentionally selected ingredient contains a multitude of possibilities that can be deliberately unlocked and unleashed, then honed and hemmed in tightly, to construct a pint that’s unapologetically itself, memorably composed, and fun to drink. Every time. Regardless of style. To us, that’s the variety worth cultivating. And that’s what we bring to your table.

    Nashville Brewing Company

    Nashville, Tennessee, United States

    The Nashville Brewery began operating in 1859; opening its doors to a blossoming city. Located just outside the city center on High Street (now 6th Ave S.), the hand-crafted local beer quickly satisfied the thirst of the hard-working citizens. Though operations halted briefly during the Civil War, the brewery overcame the disruptions and re-opened in 1865. With a focus on German style lagers, the then named Nashville Brewing Company continued to brew quality beer through the end of the 19th century. A historical marker now marks the spot where the brewery once operated in Nashville’s famous β€œGulch” district. We are proud to continue this brewing tradition and create the next chapter in this brewery’s history. We hope you enjoy this wonderful beer made by Nashville’s oldest brewery. Cheers!

    Music City

    Nashville, Tennessee, United States

    As the craft beer scene took hold in America, a group of Nashville's finest came together to create a local beer that truly encapsulated the essence of Music City. Despite the growing number of breweries, they noticed a lack of focus on producing a local, light, easy-to-enjoy beer. Our goal was clear - to develop a light beer that not only represented the spirit of Music City but could also be crushed on tour, enjoyed at outdoor events, brought on stage during shows, and showcased in local establishments. With this vision in mind, they collaborated with a Gold Medal-winning brewer to craft what they confidently believe is Music City's best-tasting light beer: Music City Light!
