Tailgate Beer, LLC

TailGate Brewery is beating the odds amid a stubbornly down period for craft beer. TailGate’s distribution business – which it bolsters with nine taprooms in Tennessee – has increased 40% year-over-year (YoY) in the first half of 2026, the Nashville-based brewery shared in a recent press release.

TailGate Brewery founder and owner Wesley Keegan does not advise that other brewers mimic his Nashville-based brewery’s portfolio strategy, simply because it doesn’t make much sense. Throughout TailGate’s decade in operation, its flagship offerings have been a peanut butter milk stout and an orange wheat beer, neither of which were created with the goal of becoming the brewery’s lead style.

Tennessee’s TailGate Brewery just hit a homerun with the release of Sounds Strawberry Lemonade Shandy (3.5% ABV).

TailGate Cider Company, the cider program of Nashville-based TailGate Brewery, added Prosecco Cider to their year-round lineup.

This week TailGate Brewery, a Nashville craft brewery known for their inventive, small-batch craft beer, launched ‘Trees,’ their new series of hazy IPAs. The first in the series is 420. Nice., a nod to the upcoming holiday. 

Any Nashville Hot Chicken dish is incomplete without a piece of white bread, crisp dill pickles and a cold beer.
