Before 12 South Taproom & Grill opened in 2006, most Nashvillians had never tried a craft beer. That made sense, because Music City had been a Bud/Miller/Coors town for decades, and bar managers were quite happy to fill their taps with products from breweries that had been consistently giving them sports and concert tickets. 12 South changed everything with a wide selection of craft beers from across the country, offering the first opportunity for many future beer snobs to discover the hoppiness of Sierra Nevada or the fruity goodness of a Belgian ale. They’re also big supporters of local breweries, and we’re all better off because they’re here.
