    10/20/24 FYI, exterior, entrance & parking
    Lee D.

    Quality/Quantity - The best breweries are the ones that do not sell food. But they did have a food truck. What a great find. My daughter tricked me into coming here because she wanted boba from Ying Yang Tea, see other review. Decided on the Dreams of Tomorrow - A different unique sea salt and oyster beer. You just have to try it. Atmosphere - What a cool spot. Shot some billiards and drank beer, like I was at home. Oh, no cost to play. :) Also, I am not as good as I used to be, getting old... Indoor and outdoor seating, see pictures. Evenly divided today with the patrons. Cool antique bar, sorry, there were too many people so I was not able to take a good picture. Even the bathrooms had an antique theme. See pictures. Service - 5 stars, friendly and inviting. Price - $7 a beer + generous tips. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016 here and with your two locations.

    This place is phenomenal! Between the amazing selection of fresh drinks and amazing Cabin Attic burgers, this is a great environment to hang with friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating, so it's great for any crowd. Bearded Iris Brewing gives a local feel, for being in a city! If you try the Cabin Attic food truck you HAVE to get the surf shack style fries. Amazing!

    This might be the best all-round brewery in Nashville. While it's not the best in ambiance (that would be Monday Night or Fait), nor the best in beer quality (that would be Smith & Lentz or Barrique), or service (that would be Jackalope)...it's just very above average on every one of these aspects. It feels more like a brewer's brewery than most places in town. It's in an industrial part of town and it's in a big boxy warehouse building. On my unofficial ranking scale of the culture of their beer with a 1 being most traditional and a 10 being marshmallow-aged IPA milk sours: I would give this place a 6! They play it safe but aren't afraid to get a little innovative. The ambiance is like a factory that's been converted into your grandfather's rustic library. My only regret is that this was my last stop and I didn't get to sample more of their beers. I was in Nashville for Taylor Swift and I saw a few people IN THE CONCERT with cans of it but... I have no idea where they got them!

    Claire and lexi were the absolute BEST! Came in not knowing what I wanted, and I told them what I like, and they gave me perfect recommendations Will be coming back!!

    Cool brewery In Nashville. I had to stop in because we don't see much Bearded Iris in KC. The tap room is huge! There's plenty of seating and they even have a large patio. Dogs are welcome and I was happy to see some puppers since I was missing mine. The staff were also friendly and helpful. There is a food truck outside but I didn't hit that up. It's a great option though and if I hadn't already had food plans, I would've given it a try because the food looked pretty good. They don't do flights but you can get half pours. Which we did because we wanted to try everything. They have a wide variety of beers that span several styles. I would say they are above average and I'd definitely go back. I really enjoyed the oyster porter.

    Very glad we checked this place out. Popped in to have a couple of beers after dinner with friends and it was the perfect place. Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating, and plenty of beer options to choose from.

    Awesome brewery
    Lorena G.

    Hey! Another great brewery in Nashville! We Ubered here after delicious burgers at Joyland. We arrived right at opening and got dibs on their pool table. We ordered their flagship ipa which was pretty good. We then had 10oz pours of a few more, played a few 9 ball sets and walked all the way back to our hotel a little off Broadway. Super nice people here, great beer a must visit place! Cheers!

    Double Scatterbrain IPA with Citra!
    Alden C.

    Bearded Iris seems to be a pretty well established brewery in Nashville. I feel fortunate to have tried one of their beers but I wish that the beer drinking experience would have been just a bit more memorable. And that unfortunately is so often the case with my beer drinking experiences if the beer I'm drinking is going to be memorable or not. I'm looking for something out of the ordinary and all too often it's just a blur where determining what beer from where gets to be hard to sort out. Good thing I keep notes on Untapped. The Scatterbrain IPA ... and in my case the Double Scatterbrain has several different versions and in my case it was the citra version. This is by no means a poorly made beer. It meets all of the basic criteria for this IPA style but as I say time and time again I need something memorable to go off of to issue more stars.

    Was in Germantown for lunch and realized this brewery was in walking distance. Although we walked, the brewery had a large parking lot. When walking up, there was a food truck in the lot, which is a great food option! The inside was spacious and kind of overwhelming, but it was lively with people. I really enjoyed my IPA.

    Nate M.

    Absolutely amazing brewery for the hop head or causal IPA lover. The outdoor area is solid for those cool summer nights and the indoor main brewing and seating area keeps the AC cranking and the beer flowing. I went with the Homestyle IPA. This was a very smooth IPA, with none of the bitterness that a lot of IPAs seem to have lately. I normally drink pales or blondes and this beer fit perfectly with my current beer palate. They do sell cans of beer to go and from what I saw they don't sell food. I really loved the vibe here and the benches against the wall were super comfy. The bartender (Molly) seemed to be having a bad day, but she was still very helpful with her suggestions and knowledge. I will definitely be back!

    Fruited Sour
    Matthew H.

    Don't judge my pictures. I wanted to spend some time sampling these beer, but I didn't have time. So I grabbed a fruited sour and hit the road. Definitely look forward to going back to get a few from the tap.

    Cool atmosphere, friendly staff. They definitely take covid protocol seriously which I appreciate. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They had decent beer; however I did not like that there was no variety of beer styles. Their entire menu besides for one option were IPAs. While I love IPAs, I think they should branch out a bit.

    Lauren O.

    We visited a bunch of breweries on our Nash trip and this one was our favorite. It was really comfortable and the vibe was cool. Chandeliers were a nice touch. Seating inside and out. Parking lot and street parking. No food when we went. Lots of variety of beer options. We really enjoyed the wavelength and the double home style ipa.

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.
