Things To Do
Breweries to explore!
Yeehaw Brewing Co. is where Nick and Ereann went on their first date. There is lots of indoor and outdoor seating perfect for catching a Saturday football game. They also have moonshine tastings! Tailgate is Nick and Ereann's most frequented brewery. The beer is good but a trip there wouldn't be complete without their loaded fries and pizza. Bearded Iris Brewing is a local's favorite, offering everyone's favorite IPA beer: The Homestyle. Other honorable mentions: New Heights Brewing Company, Tennessee Brew Works, Black Abbey, and Jackalope Brewing Company.
