Blackstone taproom rated Great American Beer bar

Post by swenocha »

For those that visited Nashville on the borg trip three years ago and know that there was no taproom at all at that point, this is pretty cool. Kent's taproom was rated as the Great American Beer bar representative for TN. Might be worth a visit next time any of you are in town... They even have food now!

Remember that this was a couple picnic tables and a jockey box when we drank in this very spot...

As it turns out, I've been to a few of these.... More than I figured....

Old Town, Huntsville, AL
Churchkey, DC
Porter Beer Bar, Atlanta, GA
White Squirrel, Bowling Green, KY
Torst, Brooklyn, NY
Also, I've been to HopCat in IN, but not in WI

I guess I need to keep this list for future travels...

Yes I do and though I don't doubt that it is a fine taproom...........it will not top the one we had the pleasure of enjoying thanks to Kent his employee and the dog.

Pretty sure next visit no ones pulling a screw out of a barrel for us to sample Black Belle. ;)

I dunno if I could stand it. I think I'd want to sneak back there and fiddle with all that equipment.

And then I'd probably be swen'd.

I might suggest that Blackstone is near Fat Bottom and Speakeasy Spirits distillery (and somewhat near Corsair brewery and distillery)... Seems like a good tour... ;)

A friend was in from Nashville during Thanksgiving and shared some Blackstone Porter. Exactly like I remembered it. Would be great to go back again.
