I've been drinking…read moretheir inventive, boundary-pushing beers for years and they consistently produce some of the best sours anywhere. Now that Southern Grist has been acquired by XUL Beer Company in Knoxville another Amazing brewery I've visited several times and watched grow. This feels like two epic forces coming together. Think of it like two legendary bands collaborating on a "Greatest Hits Mixtape." I can't wait to see what comes next from this powerhouse combo! Today I went with a couple of flights and here's how it shook out: Engywook - Wild stuff. The cinnamon and nutmeg absolutely jump out at you. A small taster was perfect for me it's definitely a conversation starter. PG&J Mixtape: Grape - This is my jam (literally). So good. Sweet, nostalgic, perfectly balanced. In my opinion, one of the best in the country. Freezes & Hoverboards - Solid beer, well made, just not my personal favorite of the lineup. Peach Black Currant Strawberry Hill - Very good. Big, layered fruit flavor with great depth. Strawberry Delight Hill - Sooooo good! This is a must-have. Bright, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink. Peanut Butter Copra - A stout with peanuts and a hint of toasted coconut. Let this one warm up a bit and the flavors really open up. Rich and smooth. Batch One Theory: 10th Anniversary Stout - Very good anniversary brew. I caught a subtle barleywine note blending into the stout character -- complex and interesting. Overall, this is a great place to sample some seriously creative beers. Plenty of space to sit inside or out, relax, and work your way through a flight. If you're a fan of bold flavors and breweries that aren't afraid to experiment, this is your spot.

Great XUL beers on tap but locked their Ube one and Limoncello one! Outstanding and you really can't go wrong with any pour here. They have a restaurant on site and I've never had Cheese Curds like that! They were delicious - make sure order some with spicy ranch (not too spicy). Great experience! Plus parking behind be place!

If you're even remotely into whiskey, this is the place to go! Their walking whiskey tour is one of…read morethe coolest experiences I've ever done -- you actually get to thief straight from the barrel and taste the whiskey right there. The team here is super friendly, knowledgeable, and just all-around awesome people. Tyler, Ryan and Jared are the best. But honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the guys here! You can tell they love what they do and are excited to share it with everyone. Their whiskey lineup is incredible -- they've got the classic, traditional styles that every whiskey fan loves, but also some unique, out-of-the-box creations that really show off their creativity. One of the best parts? You can bottle what you try straight from the barrel, wax it yourself, and even choose the wax colors for your custom bottle. It's such a cool, hands-on touch and makes the whole experience feel personal. Whether you're a whiskey nerd or just looking for a fun and unique experience, Southern Collective is absolutely worth checking out

Travis was an awesome dude and was fun to just talk whisky with. Had a couple flights and bonus pours. Everything was just outstanding. Was lucky enough to get one of the last Bomb Pop bottles and also a 13 yr rye. THIS is what a non-distiller producer should be. It's like getting the best of the best store picks of your favorite producers, only you get to taste them all. Can't wait to visit again when I return next year...with a bigger suitcase!!!

We stopped in during the big Rubiks Groove night with friends and had an amazing time. The crowd was fun, the staff treated us really well, and the whole experience just clicked. I tried a couple of mixed drinks and a cider--everything was solid. Honestly, this spot is a hidden gem and definitely worth a visit.

The location In Wedgewood/Houston is nice and spacious both inside and out. Can't comment on the food, since we don't eat there, yet the beer is top notch. They've now combined with Black Abbey, so both breweries have their selections available. Unfortunately, all the old employees have left. Employees make the difference! I'll give them some time to let the management and the rest of the team to adapt and make everyone feel as welcome as the old crew did. The area has grown drastically in the past few years. It's not the quaint neighborhood it was when they moved in. Parking on the street is ridiculous, yet they have blocked off some dedicated spaces for their patrons.

Staff took my valid driver's license to the back for approximately 20 minutes before refusing…read moreservice, claiming it "looked fake." I'm 30 years old and have used this license without issue for years. When I asked what specifically was wrong with the ID, nobody could provide an explanation. Instead, staff consulted a manager and simply told me they would not be serving me. Meanwhile, the other members of my group, all around the same age and carrying valid IDs, were able to order drinks without issue. As an Asian customer, I left this establishment believing I was racially profiled. I was singled out, denied service despite presenting valid identification, and never given a legitimate explanation for why my ID was supposedly unacceptable. Since the incident, I have found multiple reviews from other customers of color describing experiences that raised similar concerns about profiling and disparate treatment. The entire experience was humiliating, unprofessional, and unacceptable. There are plenty of businesses in Nashville that can verify IDs without treating customers this way.

We couldn't have been more wrong. Admission for two was a reasonable $50, and what we assumed would be a large group tour, ended up being an amazing near-private experience with our tour guide, Mitch. Mitch was absolutely incredible. He walked us over to the distilling room, where he explained how their bespoke process works, Corsair's distilling philosophy, and proudly showed off Ethyl, their 100+ year-old pot still. Once we got back to the tasting room, and after our first taste, we immediately regretted not trying Corsair years ago. Mitch did a great job explaining to us how each gin, whiskey, absinthe, rum, and rye are created. He also had an answer for all of our questions - feel free to ask away. Finally, we headed to their bar, where my wife had a drink called the "Easy, Breezy, Caprese," made with their American Gin, and I was able to roll a D-20 to let fate decide what drink I would try. I rolled a 4 and landed on a Bee's Knees, made with their Barreled Gin - a new favorite of ours. As mentioned, we should have tried Corsair's unique and delicious spirits sooner. We bought three bottles, and will look for theirs at home in the future. Finally, our top tip: When you book your tour, be sure to ask for Mitch. He loves what he does and truly shows he's passionate about it.
