Brewery Profile

Tailgate Brewery

In Nashville’s beer scene, Tailgate Brewery represents a larger local craft-beer operator rather than a single neighborhood taproom. The company began its Nashville presence in 2014 and has grown to eight taproom locations across Tennessee, with seven in the greater Nashville area and one in Chattanooga. For a visitor, that means Tailgate can function as either a planned brewery stop or an easy addition to a day already moving around Middle Tennessee. The basic offering is straightforward: craft beer and pizza, served through taprooms tied to an independently owned company. Several locations also include dedicated production facilities, so the brewery is not only a retail presence but part of the area’s working beer infrastructure.

Travelers coming through Nashville often look for casual places that fit between music venues, restaurants, neighborhoods, and other local beer stops. Tailgate fits that pattern by offering a familiar format across multiple locations: beer-focused taprooms with food on site. The number of locations gives visitors flexibility, especially if they are staying outside the central tourist corridors or making day trips around the region. Because the known public profile does not specify flagship beers, seasonal releases, or a fixed style lineup, it is best understood as a brewery where the current selection should be checked at the bar rather than assumed in advance. The pizza component also makes it more practical for groups that want a meal with their beer instead of a tasting-only visit.

For planning, confirm the address and hours of the specific Tailgate taproom you intend to visit, since the company operates several in and around Nashville plus the Chattanooga location. Amenities may vary by site, and the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, food availability, and any location-specific details. Visitors interested in the business side of independent breweries may also note that Tailgate reports independent ownership under a single proprietor with no external investors, and it has publicly emphasized workplace standards such as fully company-paid health benefits and a 401(k) match for employees. For most travelers, the practical takeaway is simpler: Tailgate is a Tennessee-based craft brewery and pizza stop with enough locations to make it accessible across much of the Nashville area.
