Southern Crafted: Ten Nashville Craft Breweries Dedicated to Making Sure the Beer Is Drinkin Good - Paperback

When it comes to craft beer in Music City, the Nashville community, with its collective thirst for brews that are more pleasing to their palates, is but a microcosm in this surging universe of bubbly artisan beverages. A closer examination of Nashville's craft beer scene will show you it's strongest at its roots.

Most of the brewers covered in this book-though they all have different styles, ambitions, and philosophies-all live to give beer drinkers in their community something enlightened, something different.

For these craftsmen and women, every handle, bottle, or can that graces a bar, convenient store, or grocery store is a win for craft beer in Nashville. They are all in it together-from borrowing ingredients to lobbying for the city's official endorsement of the Brewery District for the betterment of craft beer and for making sure the beer you get here is drinkin' good.

To evoke famed 19th-century author, journalist, politician, and craft beer fanatic Horace Greeley, the call "Go South, craft beer! Go South!" has been answered. And of the southern cities that have stepped up their craft brewery game, Nashville stands tall. Cheers!
