“Whether you’re visiting Nashville or looking for a new way to experience your hometown, we hope you make a TailGate tour. We’re excited to show you around and share our love for the art of brewing,” said Wesley Keegan, TailGate Brewery’s sole owner and original founder.
Tours take place every Friday at 6 pm, every Saturday at noon, 2 pm and 4 pm, and Sunday at noon and 2 pm. Keep in mind this is a production facility so closed toed shoes are required. Brewery tours are a great activity for company or group outings, so bring the whole team.
