(Nashville,TN) – We will admit that there is something very redeeming about living in Nashville and having zero musical talent. So when we sat down with the folks with the Americana Music Association, a new door of music and beer working together was opened. The Americana genre of music is defined as any music that has roots in America and that covers a pretty broad spectrum. We decided the best approach for creating a beer that exemplified the Americana spirit was to just get some great Americana artist around the long table at the taproom one Sunday afternoon to see how many stories and beers we could go through in one evening. The result was was AmericanaFest Ale, a lighter-bodied ale that begins with a slight smoky aroma and finishes with a very aromatic hop flavor. Join us this Wednesday from 4-6 at the Yazoo Taproom as we kick off this year’s AmericanaFest Ale with local Americana Artists, cold pints and bottles of AmericanaFest Ale for everyone to drink with us or take home.

Americana Music Fest and Conference will be September 15th-20th with the awards show on the 16th honoring musical greats Buffy Sainte-Marie, Don Henley, David Rawlings and Gillian Welch, Ricky Skaggs and Los Lobos. We hope you will join us this Wednesday for a celebration of good music and good beer working together for something great.
