When Yazoo announced that it was leaving its digs in the heart of the Gulch in favor of deep Madison, it was hard not to wonder if they were giving up a good thing. Sure, the old Yazoo was in a weird industrial zone and the ever-present smell of brewer’s yeast and grain was potent, but being right in the thick of things meant a booming business. We were fools to doubt them — the Madison HQ is head and shoulders above the old Gulch warehouse. Not only are the river views on point, Yazoo has a renewed vigor for piloting interesting (and often great) new beers for a clientele that specifically came to drink with them — not just folks waiting for their pedal tavern reservation.
