New(ish) Brew In The Nations

For a mighty long time (relative in Nashville these days), you could drive down Main Street, look for the painted bombshell, park, and start in on any number of incredible beers. Fat Bottom was a staple of Nashville’s burgeoning beer scene and East Nashvillians loved them for it. As time went on and the brewery became more popular, they outgrew their Edgefield roots and wandered west for more space, a new start and a fresh change. The bombshell ladies were still providing all sorts of beer happiness but now Fat Bottom offered seasonals and small batch goodness from which to choose. Your neighborhood beer spot moved and grew up a bit but it didn’t grow past you. The Yelp Nashville Elite Squad was treated to an evening of all things beer. From spending quality time with small batch perfection like Baroness and Admiral to tasting the pub-goodness of Fat Bottom’s sliders and pretzels with beer-cheese, to exploring the expanded production facilities, to getting up-close-and-personal with the standards that gave Fat Bottom its start, there was more hops, malt and barley than you could shake a (beer yard) stick at. If you need more proof, check out the reviews here and the pictures here. With as much westward migration as Nashville’s seen of late, beer lovers west of I65 have a reason to rejoice and enjoy one of the most beer-forward breweries in the Mid-State.
