Bearded Iris Brewing is located in the Germantown neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, near the Cumberland River. The brewery opened in February 2016 and quickly became known for hoppy beers.
In fact, when you visit the taproom, you will quickly notice that the menu is heavily hoppy – focusing mainly on IPAs, DIPAs, and pale ales. This lack of variety is not an accident. Bearded Iris states on their website…
…here’s the thing: we’re not looking to bombard you with a checklist of styles. Instead, we know that each hop varietal and every intentionally selected ingredient contains a multitude of possibilities that can be deliberately unlocked and unleashed, then honed and hemmed in tightly, to construct a pint that’s unapologetically itself, memorably composed, and fun to drink.
The brewery’s most popular beer is Homestyle. This oated IPA is brewed intensely and singularly with Mosaic hops. Homestyle is the staple IPA of Bearded Iris. If you are lucky to come across 16-ounce cans of Homestyle, be sure to pick up a 4-pack.
Wanna pick this one up? Bearded Iris beers are available in Middle and East Tennessee and parts of Kentucky.
