Bearded Iris is one of the best breweries in Nashville, if not all of Tennessee. They originally were very hop-focused, releasing hazy IPA after hazy IPA. However, they have since expanded their arsenal of tasty brews to include stouts, sours, and everything in between. In fact, BIBCO won my pick for best non-hoppy beer of 2020, with their V. Latte: Blue Heron, a delicious oatmeal stout made with Blue Heron coffee, vanilla, and lactose.
You may have heard of them before, especially since Bearded Iris is no stranger to Belt’s Beer Garden; having appeared four times before.
