TailGate Beer, a craft brewer that was founded in San Diego in 2007, has relocated to Nashville, Nashville Biz Blog reported on July 3.
According to an announcement on the brewer's website, TailGate will take up residence in a 16,000-square-foot building (formerly a Moose Lodge) on 7.3 acres at 7600 Charlotte Pike.
"Our goal is to open up the outdoors as a craft beer hall, picnic, tailgate and event space as soon as possible," founder Wesley Keegan said in the announcement. "We're converting what once was a baseball diamond into an acoustic-music-only, outdoor concert venue. We'll be gardening hops and working with local artists on murals in and around the property."
TailGate, which specializes in canned beers, is currently operating out of a temporary location in MetroCenter. Last year, the company distributed in 14 states, and recently began exporting internationally.
"With the amazing growth in the Nashville craft beer community, we're excited to join the fun!" Keegan wrote. "I'm looking forward to joining the local brewers guild and participating in the community any way possible."
According to the announcement, TailGate is partnering with Ajax Turner Distributing in Nashville and L&H out of Tullahoma. TailGate's beers are already available at some Nashville retailers.
