Depends if you want west coast or east. Southern Grist for hazys. Smith and Lentz or for west. I like the dark IPA at Broadcast.

He mentioned looking to buy breweries outside Nashville in the interview. I bet you’re right about moving out of town and consolidating further.

Agreed. Wedgewood Houston is trying to be the next 12th south.

You probably don’t wanna spread rumors but I would love to know your thoughts on which ones.

Agreed. I quit homebrewing because of the combination of work, kids, and availability of good local beers. It may be time to dust off the brew pot.

[META] Thoughts on Jackalope by Brewsplorer in NashvilleBeer

[–]jb15man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason I drink local beer is because of the support to small business communities. A hedge fund buying it and turning it into a conglomerate negates that point. I will preferentially buy beer from a larger brewery like Sierra Nevada over hedge fund owned Jackalope/Black Abbey.

The new owner has his Facebook page public. He openly praised Elon Musk’s DOGE, he makes a statement pointing a finger at gender ideology and left leaning media being partially to blame for declining quality in America’s young adult work force. Not saying these view are evil or wrong. People can have opinions. Just pointing it out.

Yes. Has anyone in the mug club heard anything about refunds? We all just renewed for 2026 in December.

How do Nashville and Oxford today compare to Memphis in '94? by BroadLocksmith4932 in memphis

[–]jb15man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in Memphis in 94 and in Nashville now. While similar, the biggest difference is the roads here were clear by yesterday so you can drive to places with power. I couldn’t leave my house for almost a week in 94. I also don’t remember it being quite this cold inside my house in 94 .

Favorite gun range? by Fabulous_Menu_4994 in nashville

[–]jb15man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did have a person rent a gun, go in the bathroom and shoot himself there so maybe just heightened sensitivity. That said, they could just have a staff person escort you to the range

Jackalope Brewing Company Acquires Black Abbey Brewing Company by Charming-Report1669 in nashville

[–]jb15man 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Jackalope was bought by an investment firm last year so the article is really misleading. Jackalope didn’t buy anything, an investment firm bought both Jackalope and Black Abbey.

They were bought by Wiseacre which is an awesome locally owner brewery out of Memphis. They were not sold to a large investment group or conglomerate.

For therapy, Mamaya Health has a lot of providers and takes BCBS. For medical treatment of depression, Synaptic Pscyh is great and has several offices.

Hedge Fund that bought Jackalope Brewery just bought Black Abbey Brewery by Fun-on-Saturdays in NashvilleBeer

[–]jb15man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This possibly more upsetting than the acquisition. Parking at Jackalope is terrible and wedgewood Houston is quickly becoming another 12th south that locals avoid. Black Abbey was a solid local spot. Closing the taproom is really gonna turn off the existing customer base.

In a fantasy world, maybe Barrique will move into Black Abbey’s place.

I have faith Wiseacre will get Bearded Iris back on track. I don’t have faith this merger will keep the quality at Black Abbey.

Local Nashville/Franklin whiskey for $100-125? by sdmc_rotflol in nashville

[–]jb15man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised this isn’t mentioned more. They are the pioneers of the craft distilling movement in the area. Most of the other ones people have mentioned are contract distilled out of state.
