A Taste of Tennessee Craft: Yazoo Brewing

Alongside country music and whiskey, Tennessee artisans can also craft great beer, and Yazoo Brewing out of Nashville is a prime example. This week we shed some light on a few of their limited release Embrace the Funk bottles as well as several year round fixtures. Want a deeper dive? Join us next week at Fizz Ed as Sean Dowd of Yazoo will lead us through a tasting of core, seasonal and collab beers while educating us about the new technology and processes used to produce their classic and experimental styles.

Blanche Tank 4 (5.0%) - this Belgian style wheat beer spent time fermenting in oak foeder tank # 4 with a house souring yeast blend and a classic witbier strain. $9.99 / 12oz single; available at Krog

Elm & Fitzhugh (4.8%) - unique and interesting collab with fellow funk master Jester King; an American Wild Ale with Yazoo's house & local cultures that were open cooled and fermented with herbs from Jester's farmland. $12.99 / 500 mL bottle; available at Krog

Locale (3.8%) - A Pale Ale with low calories (90) and low carbs (4 grams) but big on flavor. $11.99 / 12oz 6-pack; available at Krog & West End

Calla IPA (6.0%) - a sessionable hazy IPA perfect for the boat or beach. $10.99 / 12 oz 6-pack

We also have their extra special 8-way collab in package at Krog, Octatonic (featured a few weeks ago) as well as a few lingering singles of Birthday Saison, Foeder Fruits and Foudre Noir at West End.
