Yazoo Brewing Brings Back Its Hop Project Series, With a Twist

by

NASHVILLE, Tennessee – To celebrate its 20th year of brewing in Nashville, Yazoo Brewing is bringing back a crowd favorite, its ever-evolving Hop Project series of IPAs, but with a new twist. The “Impy Hop Project” series will again focus on new trends and innovations in the world of hops, but at a higher abv of 7 %, and only on draft and in large-format 19.2 oz “stovepipe” cans.

“We ended our original Hop Project series when we decided we had found the perfect blend of hops, retiring it after eighty-six different variations over ten years”, said Linus Hall, co-owner of Yazoo Brewing. “But the world of hops has continued to evolve, with new varieties from all over the world – not only Oregon and Washington in the U.S., or Germany, or England, but places as far-flung as Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Plus, new developments in yeast selections can bring amazing new flavors from traditional hops. We had so many new ideas that we decided to bring back the Hop Project series.”

But why in the 19.2 oz “stovepipe” cans? “We were getting a lot of interest in a locally-brewed, higher-abv IPA in 19.2 oz cans from our retail partners, who are seeing a growing demand for single-serve cans”, said Linus. “For now, that’s the package size we are going with. It’s a great package to pick up and share with a friend or two, without having to commit to buying a whole six-pack.”

Impy Hop Project, as Yazoo is calling the new series, will soon be available everywhere Yazoo is sold, but is initially rolling out in middle Tennessee area Kroger’s. Each batch will be a unique beer, with a QR code on the label leading to a description of the special blend of hops, or the novel process or ingredients that went into the creation.

Tennessee Brew Works is Coming to Memphis

by

NASHVILLE, Tennessee – On the eve of their 10-year anniversary, micro-brewery Tennessee Brew Works has announced distribution of their beers throughout Memphis, Tennessee.

Tennessee Brew Works will be featuring their lineup of Tennessee-inspired beers including the popular Hippies & Cowboys IPA, State Park Blonde ale that is brewed in collaboration with the Tennessee State Parks, River Drifter Hazy IPA, Urban Hiker Tennessee Lager, Southern Wit Belgian White, and more.

The brewery has partnered with Eagle Distributing of Memphis for distribution of their craft beers. Releases will begin the week of February 20, 2023, and be available at area bars, restaurants, grocery, and convenience stores over the coming weeks.

Tennessee Brew Works is an award-winning brewery that more recently won a coveted Great American Beer Festival competition medal for the Farmer’s Beat farmhouse ale, a collaboration between the brewery and Delvin Farms, the largest Community Support Agriculture (“CSA”) farm in the state.

They make considerable efforts to be good stewards of the land and community by sourcing raw materials from local Tennessee farmers including grains used in some of their top selling beers. They introduced the Tennessee Grain Initiative, with ambitions of establishing barley as a new cash crop for the state. They officially created the state’s first All-Tennessee grain beers in 2018, partnering with Batey Farms (Murfreesboro, TN), the Tennessee Department of Agriculture and Tennessee State Parks. The all-Tennessee grain State Park Blonde ale is notably the official beer of the Tennessee State Parks and benefits the Tennessee State Parks Conservancy for the preservation of the state’s 57 State Parks. They have since partnered with Willis Farms (Hillsboro, TN) as a major grain supplier.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to share our Tennessee borne creations with Memphis,” said Christian Spears, founder and president of Tennessee Brew Works. “We look forward to growing our relationship with the community and enjoying some beers together along the way.”

Tennessee Brew Works Releases Their Wildwood Flower Seasonal Beer

by

NASHVILLE, Tennessee – Tennessee Brew Works, a Nashville-based craft brewery, is thrilled to announce the release of its highly regarded Belgian-style Honey Blonde seasonal beer, Wildwood Flower®. This annual Tennessee Brew Works offering is a classic Belgian-style blonde, brewed with locally sourced barley and honey.

Wildwood Flower, ABV 6.8%, IBU 22. The Belgian Abbey yeast provides spicy and complex aromatics. Tennessee Brew Works commingled this creation with a delicious blend of locally sourced wildflower and sourwood honey from their friends at Strange Honey Farms in Del Rio, Tennessee. The farm’s naturally managed mountain beehives are located along the French Broad River in the foothills of Tennessee’s Cherokee National Forest and brings a palatable sophistication to the Wildwood Flower. The local malted barley from Willis Farms in Hillsboro, Tennessee adds unique malt sweetness and compliments the other flavors and aromatics of the beer. Willis Farms is a multigenerational family owned and operated farm in southern-middle Tennessee, with a focus on using regenerative and sustainable methods on their land.

“The Wildwood Flower is proudly brewed using locally sourced honey and grains, providing a proper Tennessee touch,” according to Tennessee Brew Works’ Head Brewer Matt Simpson, “This beer pairs well with smoky BBQ, pork, fish, poultry, and cheeses. The Wildwood Flower is one of the best food friendly beers in the market.”

Many of the Tennessee Brew Works beer labels feature the faces of real people who hold a special place with the organization. Wildwood Flower ale showcases one of Tennessee Brew Works’ original employees, Danielle Daniel. A native Tennessean, her entrepreneurial tenacity and dedication to the community helped develop the foundation for the successes Tennessee Brew Works enjoys today.

Wildwood Flower Blonde ale will initially be available Friday, February 3, 2023, at the Tennessee Brew Works Taproom, 809 Ewing Ave, Nashville, TN. Thereafter, it will be available at limited restaurants, bars, and grocery stores throughout middle and east Tennessee, including the Greater Nashville, Clarksville, Knoxville, Cookeville, Tullahoma, Chattanooga, and Tri-Cities areas. The beer will be available in draft and 12oz can 6-packs and cases.
