Welcome beer enthusiasts!

John Cummins started running Nashville Brews Crews in the summer of 2008, with invaluable support from the original Asheville (N.C.) Brews Cruise founders, Mark and Trish Lyons. Like the Lyons, I’m passionate about craft beer and supporting local breweries. After taking an Asheville Brews Cruise while mountain biking in North Carolina, it was a no-brainer to bring Mark and Trish’s concept to Nashville, allowing tourists and residents alike to enjoy Nashville’s home-grown brews without worrying about driving, parking and other hassles.

Nashville Brews Cruise will stop at three out of the four breweries in Nashville each tour, with occasional stops at pubs that carry more than 50 different microbrews (the breweries we tour will rotate daily). Each stop includes a sampling of the company’s unique brews, and you’ll leave the tour with a better understanding of the creative process behind the beer making. In addition, each tour-goer gets a “swag bag” with a free NBC pint glass and other items. And, of course, we encourage you to bring your NBC experience home by picking up a growler of your favorite beer or some of the brewery merchandise available at our stops.

I hope you enjoy the tour, and here at NBC we’re sure that once you see and taste Nashville’s craft beer scene, you’ll know there’s more to the “Music City” than fantastic clubs, sports, schools, museums and friendly folks -— you’ll know there’s great beer made here, too!

Cheers,
John Cummins
