About Nashville Brewing Company
Nashville Brewing Company is a lager brewery on Clifton Ave in Nashville. The brand first brewed from 1859 to 1890 on 6th Ave S. In 2016, local brewery historian Scott Mertie revived it in partnership with Blackstone Brewing Company.
The beers are traditional European lagers, the kind German immigrants brewed in Nashville in the 1800s. The flagships are Nashville Lager, a Bavarian Helles, plus Nashville Light and Nashville Amber, a pre-prohibition amber lager. Seasonal beers include a Czech-style 1897 Pilsner, a bock and a Festbier.
Tours are a draw. Mertie leads visitors through the history of Nashville breweries from the early 1800s through the 1950s. A virtual tour covers the city's beer and brewery historical markers for anyone not in town.
The brewery says its Nashville Light won a gold medal at the 2023 Great American Beer Festival. The entrance and the parking lot are both wheelchair accessible.
