This Saturday is the East Nashville Beer Festival, one of my favorite events of the year! ENBF is the most glorious of local outdoor drinking events. I have been for the past two years and ever year the event gets better and better (You can read my comprehensive coverage of last year's event here and see some photos here).
This year there's an amazing line up of breweries and food trucks. Here are just a few of the participating breweries, several of which will have limited-run special brews just for the festival!
- Yazoo
- Calfkiller
- Turtle Anarchy (A little bird told me they will have a very special experimental brew on tap)
- Brooklyn
- Black Abbey
- Little Harpeth (One of Nashville's newest breweries!)
- Deschutes
- New Belgium
- Rivertown
- Schlafly
- Schmaltz
- Straight to Ale
The food vendors are equally impressive this year. I'll be hard-pressed to settle on just one thing to eat. Perhaps I'll have 3 lunches. People do that, right?
One of the biggest improvements to this year's festival is the integration of the TripFriend mobile app. The past 2 years I've been making spreadsheets and trying to organize which beers I'm most interested in, but this year that is all history! The TripFriend app has all participating breweries and food trucks, as well as a schedule of all the other events happening. You can also keep up with your friends with it!
I'll be wandering around taking copious notes about all the beers. If you see me, please let me know what your favorite was! I look forward to seeing you all on Saturday!
