Nashville is home to 25+ independent craft breweries. Local brewers are constantly tapping their creative juices to drum up crafty collaborations, standout recipes, and fun names for their frothy masterpieces.
As we celebrate Drink Up Week, we’d like to raise a glass to seven Nashville-centric brews with names that draw inspiration from our city’s history, communities, and culture.
Style + flavor: This 4.5% ABV New England-style IPA features aromas of tangerine and other citrus fruits, creating a soft, cloudy body.
1897 Pilsner, Nashville Brewing Co. | This beer’s name pays tribute to local history. In 1897 — during the Tennessee Centennial Exposition held in Nashville — pilsner was Nashvillians’ beer of choice. The label features a 1897 painting of the Parthenon, which was used to advertise the exposition.
Style + flavor: This straw-colored, 5% ABV Bohemian + Czech-style pilsner is brewed with Saaz hops and has a caramel mouthfeel and crisp finish.

East Bank, East Nashville Beer Works | This brew name drops Nashville’s developing waterfront neighborhood.
Style + flavor: This bright, 7% ABV Citra IPA has floral aromas and features Citra + Centennial hops for a zesty flavor profile with a bitter balance.
