Yee-Haw Brewing, Nashville part 5, and a Quick Weekend Write Up

This marks the 5th time I’ve been to Nashville. Been for business and pleasure. This was a pleasure trip. Regardless of the reason, I always love this city. Mainly driven by the amazing music you hear in the city and the food I consume. One of those cities I love visiting, but would die of a massive coronary if I lived there.

Brunch at Gray’s on Main

While we were just in town for a few days, we jammed a lot in. Something that not a lot of people see when they visit is the town of Franklin. Venture a way from downtown and grab some food at all the different restaurants in this city that was a key place of the civil war. It’s a cool little town.

Well now to the beer. I’ve been to a lot of other breweries in Nashville. This was my first trip to Yee-Haw Brewing. I’ll be honest the beer was average but it’s a cool spot with tons of games and activities to get drunk to. Plus they have an Old Smokey Distillery location on site. I’ve checked out Old Smoke’s Gatlinburg location last year. They have tasting of the numerous varieties of whiskey they make. One of which you’re bound to enjoy. Beer and liquor, always a great combo. Till next time Nashville.

ATX, WVU and a Whirlwind of a Weekend

Texas is a completely different place. I think that’s been pretty well documented #texasforever. This was my first time in the state for more than just a layover and I took my talents to Austin. Talents is a loosely defined term.

In a whirlwind of a weekend, I accomplished quite a bit here. The highlight? Witnessing WVU knock down the Longhorns with a two point conversion to go up one point with just seconds remaining. Will Greer is a God.

While the game was amazing, I also managed to go to an EDM concert (The people watching at that is entertainment) and checked out a couple breweries. I visited Brewtorium for lunch and also made a stop at Live Oak. I need more time here as there were plenty more I wanted to check out, but both delivered some good beer. And wow were their spaces huge for craft breweries. Everything really is bigger in Texas. The Spacelaser Double IPA from Brewtorium and Smoaktoberfest from Live Oak were the best of the bunch. The Spacelaser was one of the best Double IPAs I’ve had recently.

Overall, Texas has some great beer, good music and good food. Survived another trip. Till next time, Keep Austin Weird.
