"You can’t talk about Southern Grist without first giving Lauter, the restaurant inside the East Nashville taproom, its flowers. The food is delicious and worth a trip on its own for a BLT as big as your face with the option to add burrata (do it), and a burger that rivals your pint glass in height (and it tastes pretty good, too). When it comes to beer, get whatever version of Mixed Greens IPA is on rotation—we lost count after version 64 or “LX” since they use Roman numerals. They have a wealth of sour beers, too, including a fruited gose that is undeniably the best in town." - adam sloan

"Three friends’ homebrewing hobby turned into a bustling brewery with two taprooms in the Nashville area. The Nations outpost of Southern Grist Brewing not only serves up the IPAs, sours, and ales locals have grown to love but also boasts an onsite food concept, L by Lauter. The limited menu of bites like green chili queso, hushpuppies with crab butter, and a charcuterie board pair perfectly with a cold pint." - Kellie Walton
"Smack in the heart of East Nashville, Southern Grist is known for its ambitiously creative beer selection — one glance at its menu and you’ll realize that it doesn’t put any traditional beer constraints on its creations, adding personality through ingredients to every style of beer it produces. From exotic fruits to pickles and marshmallows, Southern Grist fearlessly brews with anything you can think of. If you’re on the move, Southern Grist sells to-go beers in cans and crowlers, but it also has a super comfy, family-friendly lounge and a pet-friendly porch if you’d rather sit and sip through its beer list. Southern Grist opened its second location in the Nations with more seating, a larger bar and patio, plus a fast-casual version of the original’s signature restaurant, Lauter." - Kellie Walton
"A local favorite since about 2016, this brewery specializes in hearty barrel-aged stouts, New England–style IPAs, and fruited sours, with a constantly rotating lineup of very small-batch beers (often under five gallons) rather than a single flagship. The original taproom in East Nashville offers a warm, cozy vibe with plush couches and bar-stool seating, and the operation recently expanded to a much larger production facility with a second taproom located directly in front of it." - Mae Hamilton
