Looks like the next Borg Meet-up is set, going back to Nashville Feb.12th-16th. Here is link to hotels in area of where the Home Base will be near the intersection of Gallatin and Eastland, for those that may want to make the trip for a day or two or four! Details to come as to brewery or distillery visits as they develop. Hope some Borgies can join us, Blackduck, Beerlord, RedBEERd, Inkleg, Swen who lives there and myself, so far!

I'm looking forward to the trip again. There's always good times and good beers!!!

I can go into way too much detail (correct, Blackduck?) on things to do and see here, so don't hesitate to ask for suggestions or guidance on bars, restaurants, hotels, areas of town, activities, etc...

Yes, yes you can Swen. But I'll be honest, you're probably the best part of going to Nashville. With the people you know and the places your familiar with, we can't go wrong!!!

Hey, what do you think about live-streaming some of the events for those of us that can't make it? I'm only partially kidding.

Posted: **Fri Dec 08, 2017 4:13 pm**

That's a great idea! With your knowledge of all things technical you'll be there on the 12th to start streaming right?

Jody and I are looking forward to seeing everyone again though sadly sans cats.

Apparently these hipster house renters don't do pets.

Sorry to break it to you but I'm going too! You can run but you can't hide!
Showers anyone?

House is 3 miles from Downtown and 5 miles from Music Row and within 5-10 miles of breweries we had visited the first time, but have made some big changes since.

We will be getting into Nashville on Sunday Feb. 11th. The 9th and 10th we will be in Madison, Wisconsin for our oldest Grand Daughters school performance as the Lion in the Wizard Of Oz. As of now we might not head back north until Sunday the 18th. We plan to make it a nice 10 day getaway and only burn 6 vacation days.

Here's a pretty up to date list of the local breweries...

Nashville Guru's Nashville Breweries Guide. I would add Corsair to their list, but I assume they don't add it because it's a small brewing operation at the distillery. Still, their taproom has at least a couple of their beers on tap at any given time.

Info about their tour:

Welcome to our new brewstillery located at our original Nashville facility. Let us teach you how we take grain from our own malt house to your glass. Our focus is on high gravity, alternative grain, and barrel-aged beers along with malt based whiskeys. At the end of tour you will get to sample a variety of our beers and whiskeys. We have designed an all new high gravity taproom where you can come taste and learn about all of our experimental beers. Our high gravity beer lab will show you just how close brewing and distilling are.

What's available:

Grain to glass story for beer and whiskey - Corsair Malthouse to Corsair Brewhouse
Paired tastings of experimental whiskey and unique beers
Beer cocktails and experimental whiskey tasting

Do they have any beds?

Posted: **Mon Dec 11, 2017 12:37 pm**

If they have enough beds, I can cancel the reservation for the house.

That's a great guide Swen, thanks. Extremely helpful that they list the hours too. That should help us plan our days better.

The thing I love about corsair is that they sell their smoked malts at my LHBS. They may well sell them at the facility as well, but I'm not sure...
