Had a 6 pack cans of Tail Gate Session IPA while camping near Florence OR.
Ive had stuff from this "brewer" before a regular IPA last year again camping and it was a pretty mediocre IPA.
THis Session IPA is a good bit better and less alc.
Says its brewed in Tennessee.
Anyone have an idea which brewer in Tenn?

It looks like they may have their own place in Nashville:

Thats cool.
Like i said the beer i had yesterday was way better then the effort from last year.
Will wait for someone to enter. This would be a first Tenn rate for me!

Did they actually start brewing their own beer in Nashville? Tailgate, as far as I know, is a San Diego marketing start-up that has all their brews contract made for them, usually at fine places like Minhas and Cold Springs. Never heard of them employing a brewer, owning a brewery or any piece of brewing equipment.

The link talks about their Tennessee location, but doesn’t state that its up and running yet. So I would believe that they are still contract brewing until everything is in place. From their Facebook it looks like its going to be awhile before they are brewing at the new facilities.

I’ve sent them the question through their contact email system, hopefully we can get an answer.

I am just going to add the beer to the regular page for the "brewery".
If this changes hopefully it gets moved so i have my Tenn. rate!

That Regular IPA they put out is awful. Proving that Minhas is the worst brewery ever

I agree.
This one wasn’t great but was drinkable
