Drinks Drunken Cryptozoologists Rejoice! Jackalope Brewing Company Coming to Town Spring 2011

And dreams really do come true. Well sorta. It doesn't look like the boss is ever going to let me collect fuzzy statues of mythical beings, but I'm pretty sure she will be totally down with Jackalope Brewing Company, a new craft-brewer that's set to open their doors in Spring 2011 — particularly when she learns that Jackalope, operated by Bailey Spaulding and Robyn Virball, will be the first entirely female-run commercial brewery in Tennessee. And while our locals-drinking-local-drinks options are pretty great right now — Yazoo will always be a favorite, and Corsair's Pumpkin Spice whiskey is the only thing making this dreadful weather bearable — more locally made booze is always a good thing.
Yes, they're opening up their brewery/taproom on Eighth Avenue South — just a few blocks away from Yazoo — but two breweries within stumbling distance of each other is kinda awesome, at least in my beer-soaked brain. There are enough drunks in this town to keep both of 'em rollin in dough, and goshdarnit, we're gonna try!!! Or at least I'm going to try. Anyway, we'll keep you updated as things progress.
After the jump, a sweet little ditty about everyone's favorite cryptid, ya know, just to celebrate...
