Good beer in Nashville

If you are going to Nashville for the Ravens-Titans game, or know someone who is there and is thristy, I recommend you try the beer at Boscos brewpub in Hillsboro Village, a neighborhood near the Vanderbilt medical complex. For details, go their website.

Chuck Skypeck, the brewer of the beer ,spoke with me Friday from the brewery headquarters in Memphis. He said he was worried about the Ravens' defense. That is a good sign.

I tasted his beer, a terrific Hefeweizen, in Washington last spring at SAVOR. the beer and food tasting sponsored by American craft brewers. Good stuff.

We hope that after Saturday's game, the Tennessee fans will be crying in their beer.

Anybody else taste any good stuff from Tennessee?

Not too far from Boscos is Blackstone Brewery, which has some excellent craft brews (specifically the IPA and Oatmeal Stout). Downtown not too far from the stadium is The Flying Saucer with around 200 beers (over 100 on tap) and also The Beer Sellar, in addition to Big River Grille and Brewing with a couple of their own tasty brews.

Go Steelers!

The only thing you'll be tasting is the bitter taste of defeat.

Titan-Up!
