Yazoo Tap Room

On Division Street in Nashville, I found the Yazoo Brewery. It is always strange to me that Yazoo beer comes from Nashville. I have raced several crits and left a few pounds of ass flesh on the downtown streets of Yazoo City, MS back in the day. It turns out that the owner of Yazoo is from Mississippi and moved to Nashville. He quit his real job and started brewing beer, much to a lot of peoples pleasure.

It is not a large building and all of the Yazoo comes from the one location. The best part to me is the tap room. It is a very basic, cement floor, wooden table, metal exposed beams, section of the warehouse that is used to serve Yazoo beer right out of the taps. No thumping music, no flat screens, no hot wings, no low cut bleach blonds flirting for a tip........Just man and beer. (and a few women).

They have eight taps in the wall and a cement bar. Brian will sale you a sampler for $6 so you can try everything from the rough, bitter and ever changing "Hop Project" to the Ultra smooth "Fall Fest".

My favorite of all is the growler. They are giant glass jugs with the painted ,not paper, Yazoo logo on the front. These are "to go "only. They are only $11 when you buy the first one and then you can bring it back and have it refilled for $7. What a deal! This is a must for any beer lover!

It would be great to have a tap room like this at the brewer in Bham....but from what I understand, the minority has ,once again, decided that it is immoral and therefore illegal to serve beer at the same location where beer is made to be distributed. Sweet Home Alabama.
