Reference failed to report how much I contribute. “Despite shifting tastes among millennials, beer remains the most popular alcoholic beverage in the United States. It is the drink of choice for 43% of Americans who drink, beating out wine at 32% and liquor at 20%.

Can only speak for the store I work at, and the city I live in terms of actual sales...but Memphis is a huge vodka/bourbon/tequila market. Just not a lot of beer culture in TN. Other than Bearded Iris, no one really seeks out TN beers. And the beer culture in the state has been lacking for years. It’s growing, and Nashville is leading the charge with Chattanooga right behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to like the berliners better myself. Maybe I haven't explored enough, but it seems they tend to have more of that biscuity finish to balance out the acidity (and to give the acidity on the next sip something to cut through). That said, Terp's watermelon gose and Anderson Valley's blood orange gose are good IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised and impressed when in Nashville to see a lot of locally brewed traditional style beers that I'd never heard of. But then I realized... I'd never heard of them.

Bourbon blew up back in 2010 or so. I used to shop at the store I work at now when I moved here the first time in 2008-2011. You could buy Pappy 20 and 23 right off the shelf. 20 for $99, 23 for $150ish. Now they go for 3 times as much if they’re not gouged. We definitely sell a bunch of Jack, it’s never going away. Dickel, not so much. Jack can even be considered bourbon because of the mash bill(51% corn), but because of how they charcoal filter it, they legally can’t label it bourbon.
