So when the Tennessean's story on us bringing Gerst back to being brewed in Nashville hit:
(http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110324/DAVIDSON09/303240008/1969/NEWS/Yazoo-Gerst-Haus-bring-back-locally-brewed-Gerst-Amber-beer?odyssey=nav|head)
I got an email from my friend Scott Mertie, who was the author of "Nashville Brewing",
http://www.brewedindixie.com/Ordering-Nashville_Brewing.html
Scott has taken it upon himself to get a historical marker made commemorating the exact spot where the old William Gerst Brewing Company was located. Stay tuned - I smell another party coming up when the marker is unveiled!

To learn more history of the Gerst Brewery, check out www.brewedindixie.com, or pick of a copy of Nashville Brewing (Arcadia Publishing, 2006). Nashville Brewing is a pictorial history of brewing in the Music City from the Civil War to Mondern breweries like Yazoo. The William Gerst Brewing Co. operated from 1890 - 1954. Great to year that Yazoo and the Gerst Haus are bringing it back!
