Any sound control experts out there?

We are looking at some different options for dampening some of the noise in our taproom. When it gets going, it can get pretty loud. One option we are looking at is installing soundproofing tiles in places between the overhead girders. But I'd be the first to tell you that I don't know what the heck I'm doing. Any soundproofing guys out there, that would want to swap their expertise for some beer?

New Yazoo mural going up...

We are lucky enough to be getting the muralist Michael Cooper to paint a Yazoo logo on our building. That expanse of yellow brick wall has been crying out for some artwork, and after listening to comments from our regulars, we decided to paint our "Ask for Yazoo Beer" oval on the wall. Well, actually we decided to change it to "Drink Yazoo Beer", since that made more sense for the side of a brewery! It should be done in a few days.

Next, we'll be building a trellis over the patio. Got to have some shade, and something for our hop vines to grow on!

Michael has done a lot of the cool murals in and around downtown - the one on the wall in front of the downtown library, the ones by the Arcade, etc. Check out some of his other work at http://www.muralsandmore.com/.

Experimental beer tonight Thursday May 20 at the taproom

We'll be tapping a keg of an experimental brew, our Sly Rye Porter aged in a cask with Olive&Sinclair cocao shells. Come on down this Thursday from 4-8 PM and try a pint!

We have some casks now that we will start doing some interesting experiments with. In the works is one of Sly Rye Porter infused with Drew's Brews Lost Weekend coffee. Stay tuned! Thursdays will be the usual night for tapping these experiments (we get great feedback from all our "regulars" on Thursdays!)

Turnip Truck adding location in the Gulch!

Cool! Welcome addition to our new neighborhood!

More flood relief benefits coming up...

The waters are receding, but the needs are just beginning. Please check out these flood relief benefits coming up:

"Writer's Block Flood Benefit" at the Listening Room at Cummins Station, Sunday May 16th

We'll be a sponsor of this great new event, featuring some of Nashville's best songwriters including Jeffrey Steele, Rivers Rutherford, Kirsti Manna, and many others. It's on the parking lot across from Cummins Station, and runs from noon to 10 PM this Sunday. http://www.musicrow.com/2010/05/writer’s-block-concert-becomes-flood-benefit /

Thank you to everyone who came out!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our fundraiser. It was a crazy night! We just dropped a check off to the Community Foundation for $6,300 for their Flood Relief Fund. And it was such a great feeling to do it! Thanks again.

Flood Fundraiser tomorrow at the Yazoo Taproom!!

We will be holding a fundraiser tomorrow, Thursday May 6th, from 4-8 PM, to benefit the Community Fund of Middle Tennessee (www.cfmt.org). 100% of all sales at our taproom will be donated to their Metro Disaster Fund. Yes, 100% of ALL sales. It's a nice round number.

To conserve water, we'll be selling pints in our Yazoo logo pub glasses, which you can take home with you. Pints will be $5, which includes tax for this night. Growlers will be $12 new/ $9 refills. CASH is very welcome as it will speed up the line.

We also plan to tap two casks of special beers we were holding back for a special occasion. One is a cask of Pale Ale dryhopped with Amarillo, another is a cask of Dos Perros aged with cocao shells from Nashville's own Olive and Sinclair Chocolate Company.

Let's see what we can do! Last time we did this we raised a lot of money for the Red Cross for Katrina relief.
