This is a post that is long overdue. Shortly before moving from the Rocket City, The Enabler and I set out to Yazoo Brewing Company in Nashville, TN. This trip as shown by previous posts was worth it beyond words (because now we KNOW where it is;)
Yazoo Brewery was once home to Marathon Motor Works from 1910-1914. It is an awesome deep red brick building with as many wooden doors and area of cool breeze. The owners Linus and Lila Hall moved to Nashville in 1996 and opened their brewing doors in October 2003. Linus has been brewing for over 10 years and has a craftbrewing degree from the American Brewers Guild in California, with an internship at the Brooklyn Brewery in Brooklyn, New York.
Linus adheres to the "Four-pint principle", meaning with optimum conditions a person trying this beer should want to have 4 pints of it. They had the following on tap: ESB, Sly Rye Porter, Amarillo Pale , Onward Stout, Dos Perros, Hefeweizen. We either tried all of them or bought a growler full for boot-legging. They had also just started bottling the Hefeweizen (2004 Gold GABF) in a nice short-brown with an awesome label. If you're up that way take it in.
