More Foamy Details

Craft beer has really boomed in Nashville, TN. Every craft beer drinker has their own story on how they were introduced to the craft and what styles they believe keep on evolving. Craft beer is not alone on our journey through their breweries. There are food trucks that offer all sorts of variety that offer great pairings to the local craft beer breweries. Interested in talking with us? We’ll go anywhere to meet and talk about your beer. We are on most major podcast platforms and growing.

DRINK & SPEAK

YOU HAVE BEER? WE HAVE OPINIONS! WE WANT TO DRINK YOUR CRAFT BEER.

Give us a listen with your favorite craft beer in hand as we discuss the beers we’ve scrounged up!
