About Elderbrew
Elderbrew is a brewery and taproom in downtown Bristol, Tennessee. Its website says it opened in September 2017. Owner and head brewer Chris Bryant came to it after years of homebrewing.
The website says Elderbrew began as a question: what does ale mean? That question led to a long look into the history of beer and brewing. The brewery says its mission is to share the strange brews it first poured at beer festivals, along with a growing list of new beers.
The taproom has a creative streak. The website mentions live music from local musicians and art showings from local artists. It calls the taproom a hub for the creative side of Appalachia.
Its On Tap page lists numbered taps that mix Elderbrew beers with guest beers and a cider from other breweries. Google lists a wheelchair accessible entrance and parking lot. It is one of the most reviewed beer spots in Bristol on this site.
