TailGate Brewery, Nashville’s Fastest Growing Brewery, Announces Diverse New 2025 Beer Lineup

TailGate Brewery, Tennessee's fastest-growing brewery and pizzeria, has a winning beer lineup planned for 2025. Beer lovers can snag both returning favorites and new flavors at TailGate’s nine welcoming taprooms and at bars, restaurants, chain stores and retailers throughout Tennessee (even the Bridgestone Arena!).

"Our approach to beer in 2025 is focused on variety, innovation and fun," says Wesley Keegan, founder and owner of TailGate Brewery. “Whether you prefer a crisp, traditional lager, a robust barrel-aged imperial stout or a refreshing cider, we offer a great beverage you will love.” 

With established favorites like TailGate Orange Wheat Beer (5% ABV), a creamy, zesty must-try from Nashville’s fiercely independent brewery, TailGate’s core lineup offers something for everyone. This year, the brewery is switching things up and releasing TailGate Premium Lager for statewide distribution. TailGate Premium Lager is a crisp, clean lager made with traditional ingredients. 

For IPA lovers, the Wizard’s Order IPA series will continue to keep things fresh all year long, with each rotating seasonal release offering a spellbinding new flavor. The series kicked off in 2024 with Juice Wizard IPA (6% ABV), followed by Tropic Wizard IPA (6% ABV) in August. The series will continue in 2025 with an enchanting new release in spring. Howdy Cloudy Hazy Session IPA (4.5% ABV) will also be on the menu all year long, with a portion of proceeds supporting the Nashville Zoo’s Clouded Leopard conservation program.

TailGate Cider (4.5% ABV) and TailGate Hard Seltzer (4.5% ABV) round out the lineup with enough variety to satisfy the whole crew. 

This year’s limited releases will continue to illustrate TailGate’s innovative, fun nature, with beloved Peanut Butter Milk Stout (5.2% ABV) and PB&J Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout  (10% ABV) making appearances in the winter months; and the spring and summertime illuminated by the bright, fruit-forward flavors of Cerveza Con Lime Lager (5% ABV) and Sounds Strawberry Lemonade Shandy (3.5% ABV). Sounds Strawberry Lemonade Shandy is an annual release crafted in partnership with the Nashville Sounds during baseball season. As enthusiastic Nashville sports fans, the team at TailGate is also proud to serve Predators fans throughout Bridgestone Arena and at the venue’s Music City Taps, opened in 2024. Keep an eye out for larger grab-and-go can sizes like 19.2 oz cans at the arena and other venues. 

TailGate Brewery’s lineup of brews is made possible by its 250 team members across Tennessee. Offering industry-leading benefits, 100% paid healthcare and a people-first culture, TailGate Brewery was named a Top Workplace by The Tennessean for the second year in a row. 

“Our growth means we can bring more beer to more people. And we’re able to do that because of the years we’ve spent prioritizing our team. We opened in Tennessee 10 years ago now, and our very first team member is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this month,” said Wes. “Beer is the solid foundation that makes it possible for us to grow our community, create a great workplace, and have fun at work trying new things.”
