With the vaccine available, it seems a good time to safely (with facemasks and hand sanitizer at the ready) get out and support breweries & restaurants both near and far, ever in search of delicious beer and food pairings.

For this “field trip”, a stop in Nashville, Tennessee’s was required to sample some of the city’s famous hot chicken from Hattie B’s Hot Chicken while enjoying a few cold ones (to put out the chicken’s notorious spice!) at Bearded Iris Brewing’s Sylvan Supply location. If you still need to wash down the spice, then a stop by Smith & Lentz Brewing might be in order to sample some great beers as well as something from their pizza oven.

The Pharmacy Burger Parlor & Beer Garden had an excellent selection of non-traditional burgers with an exceptional number of German import beers to savor in their top notch outdoor beer garden, a great place to end any evening!
