Tailgate Brewery, Harding House Brewing Co., & Diskin Cider
Tailgate Brewery

Where: 7300 Charlotte Pike, Nashville, TN 37209
Tailgate began brewing beer in 2014 and is considered one of Nashville’s most successful brewing companies. They have three different locations spread out across the Music City. Each Tailgate location has a full service taproom with 20 or so beers on draft at a time. A full service kitchen is also serving up appetizers, pizzas, wings, sandwiches, salads, and desserts. During my visit, I paired pretzel bites and beer cheese with a peanut butter milk stout. A cult classic beer in Nashville, the peanut butter milk stout is a smooth, sweet, and creamy 5.8% ABV with a subtle peanut butter taste and aroma.
Harding House Brewing Co.

Where: 904 51st Ave N, Nashville, TN 37209
Harding House Brewing Co. is a taproom-focused nanobrewery that began pouring drafts in the Music City in 2018. They are focused on creating beer that is unique to Nashville by using local and regional ingredients, while also taking inspiration from southern food culture. Harding House Brewing Co. aims to bring the people of Nashville together in a taproom that encourages community, sustainability, and enjoyment. When I visited, I tried the first in their Pre-Prohibition series, Jimmy Red lager. This 5% ABV beer is crisp and easy to drink.
Diskin Cider

Diskin Cider is a local hot spot and Nashville’s only craft cidery. Their tasting room is home to multiple events throughout the year and boasts a tap list, food menu, and specialty craft cocktails. Diskin’s owners studied under an English Cider Master, learning how to make craft cider the traditional way with fresh pressed apples. You won’t find anything artificial in these cans! Not only are all of their ciders made gluten-free, but there are also no added sugars. When I went to Diskin Cider for a drag brunch event, I fell in love with their blackberry vanilla port cider, Local AF, and their fruit tea cider, Six One Five. I loved Diskin Cider so much that I ended up bringing home a four-pack of their semi-sweet southern style cider, Lil’ Blondie.
