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.

The staff was friendly and patient while we decided what to get. We ordered the brisket, brisket burger, sweet plantains, Brussels sprouts, and coleslaw. Everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The brisket was especially tender and delicious, easily the highlight of my meal. We also tried a couple of drinks, including a grapefruit-flavored lager, which was refreshing and paired well with the food. The only downside was parking, which can be a bit tricky to find. Overall, the service was quick, the food was excellent, and we'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.

They use local Hickory Wood to smoke their meats. This East Nashville BBQ joint serves Craft Beer in a casual atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the food comes out Fresh and in about 15 minutes. They have some outdoor tables and the outdoor area is dog friendly. They have about 10 House Beers on tap, Ciders, Seltzers, House Sodas and 6 packs of Beer to go. They serve Brisket, Memphis style dry rubbed Spare Ribs, Pulled Pork, Wings, Sandwiches and Sides. They also have a plant based Frito Pie and a Vegan Mac & Cheese. There are about 6 parking spots in front and there is also a Pay to park lot across the street. You order at the bar and they page you when your food is ready to pick up at the Truck. To finish the review-- They do Brisket on Saturday and Sunday ONLY. They also have a Brisket burger Wednesday through Friday. They do different events like Music Trivia and Karaoke. Look at their social media for event times and day. If you like Brisket you gotta check this place out !!

The atmosphere is exceedingly diverting, and the service unfailingly attentive. Their selection of drinks and cocktails proves most agreeable, and the live music, I must say, is of exceptional quality lending the evening an air of spirited delight. The company one finds there is likewise pleasing; a convivial crowd, ever inclined to dancing and merriment. It is, in every respect, a most entertaining place to pass an evening. I would also note, with satisfaction, that the burgers are by no means lacking in merit.

We then proceeded to place an order of food. We finished our cocktails and finished our food. After waiting for about 15 minutes and no one acknowledged us, we waved one of the bartenders down as she approached the cash register and requested to close out. The bartender seemed bothered that we flagged her down and quickly turned back using a micro aggressive tone and responded that she needed to complete helping a customer before she can help us. I have worked in customer service/food and cocktail industry and her tone/response was completely unnecessary. We have been to a few "dive" bars in the past In CA, NY, AZ, TX, AL and other parts of Tennessee and we have never encountered a response like that before. Maybe it was a busy Saturday afternoon or maybe they do not cater to diversity. Regardless we will not be returning.

If you're lucky enough to stop in on a night when they're running their pizza pop-up, you're in for a real treat.

Offerings change with the seasons, but I can usually grab a glass of their Echo American Lager or their Kolsch Bier. If you like sours, they also often have a fun fruity brew for you to try.
