Yazoo Taproom Holiday Hours

Yazoo Taproom Holiday Hours

We will be open on this Wednesday, Nov 25th, from 6-8 PM for growler sales ONLY. Come by and get your growlers filled for the turkeyday, and try out the Wassail!

We will be CLOSED for Thanksgiving Day, but will be open our regular hours Friday 4-8 PM and Sat 2-8 PM. Tours will be given Saturday at 2:30, 3:30, 4:30, 5:30, and 6:30.

We will have a special promotion this Friday at the taproom. Growlers of Wassail can be paired with a package of special cookies created just for us by Nashville's newest baking sensation, "Dozen", which is located in the Farmer's Market. Come by the Yazoo Taproom this Friday and meet the owner, Claire Meneely, and try out some of her most excellent creations.

Nashville icon is gone...

Have you noticed that a Nashville icon, the "Build with Brick" water tower, which stood across the tracks from Marathon, is no longer there? It fell down a couple of weeks ago.

First ever Yazoo Tweetup Wednesday Nov 18 from 6-8 PM at ...!

To commemorate reaching 2000 followers on our twitter feed www.twitter.com/yazoobrew we're throwing a party! But how will you find out the details if you don't follow us? I'll give you a hint - it's happening Wednesday night, but NOT at our taproom. And there will be specials on Yazoo beer, including Hop Project #23 (the MJ of IPAs) and Yazoo Sue. Are you in? RSVP at www.twitter.com/yazoobrew and we'll see you there!

Hop Project #23 out in bottles!

Hop Project #23 was bottled Nov 2nd week. It was first wort hopped with CTZ, Galena at beginning of boil, Goldings and Amarillo at 30 min, Amarillo, Cascade, and Goldings at 5 min, and dry-hopped with Amarillo, Goldings, and Cascade after five days. This was a small batch (~125 cases) and will only be available in Nashville.

It's got a very pleasant aroma of citrus and ripe melon. The flavor is a great mix of grapefruit and melon from the Amarillo and Cascade, and a lemoney, dry finish from the Goldings. Get some while it lasts - it will be on tap at the Yazoo taproom, as well as a few good beer bars around Nashville, and in bottles.

Sneak Peak at our new labels

Woohoo! We finally got our label approval for Sly Rye Porter and Sue. Here's a sneak peak. It will take a month or so to get them printed, and then we'll be releasing them both in time for the holidays!

New dock door at the new brewery!

We had to knock out a section of the wall at the new brewery to get the tanks inside, so that meant we deserved a new dock door! Deserved? Weird choice of words? Well, if you had struggled with the doors we have here at Marathon for the past six years, you'd say the same thing! First, there is a dock door that took two people to winch closed, plus a sledgehammer. Then, a set of doors so low that a normal forklift won't go through it (luckily, the tires on our forklift are so worn out that it will clear the doors by 1/4 inch.) And to get to the dock, you have to run a gamut of metal plates covering collapsed concrete and mud holes. So needless to say, we're excited about a brand new dock door!

Mark Moynihan fund

Thank you to everyone who helped us raise some money to help Kim Moynihan, Mark's wife. Mark was a brewer in east Tennessee that was critically burned in a welding accident. While he was fighting, with burns over 90% of his body, we teamed up with the Nashville homebrewers club to try to raise money. We auctioned off an opportunity to brew a batch on our commercial system to the homebrew club, with the proceeds from sales of that batch also going to the Mark Moynihan Burn Fund. Sadly, just before we brewed the beer, Mark passed away. We decided to go ahead with the benefit and donate the money to Mark's wife, Kim.

Thank you to Brandon, for his wonderful Hop Blaster, and to everyone who came in and enjoyed a pint or growler of it. Thanks to you, we were able to donate a little over $6,000 to Kim to help with her bills. Thanks again!
