This Brewery has multiple locations around Nashville. This location is a bit further west, but I love going here because of the large outdoor area in back. A HUGE beer selection and solid food options. There are locations closer to downtown, in East Nashville, and in the airport.

Another neighborhood brewery! You could do a brewery crawl in the Nations alone if you wanted. Not as expansive of a beer menu as some of the others in the neighborhood, but a fun place to visit especially on a nice day and they have the garage doors open.
