Craft Beer From Nashville's Original Brewery

Looking for the best craft beer in Nashville? You found it. Fat Bottom Brewing Co. is Nashville's original craft brewery — locally owned, community-focused and brewing the highest-quality beer right here in The Nations since we opened our doors.

Our Beers

We brew three distinct categories of craft beer, each one offering something different. Whether you're after a reliable favorite or something new, we've got you covered.

Year Round

These are the beers you can count on any time you visit. Our year-round lineup features crisp, refreshing lagers that go down easy on a hot day, hop-forward IPAs with citrus and pine notes that hit just right and smooth ales with balanced malt character. These are the classics — beers that taste like what they're supposed to taste like. Grab one at the taproom or take a six-pack home.

  • Hazel Hazy IPA

    This Hazy IPA is low on bitterness with a big hop aroma and a distinct haze. With notes of orange marmalade and white peach, Hazel has an understated sweetness.

  • Knockout IPA

    Brewed with bravo cascade and pacific jade hops, then dry hopped with bravo, pacific jade and comet hops, this IPA definitely packs a one-two punch! The grapefruit and citrus aroma softens the blow ever-so slightly, but don’t let that fool you. You definitely want this Knockout in your corner!

  • Ruby American Red Ale

    A stunning redhead can take your breath away, and Ruby is no different with her dark, copper tone and balanced, malty sweetness. Our flagship beer is a delicious red ale that hits it out of the park with its malt-forward and medium hop presence, making Ruby an approachable, yet unforgettable icon.

  • Sandy Blonde Ale

Seasonal Beers

Our seasonal releases match the time of year. Summer brings lighter, brighter beers with fruity aromas and crisp finishes. Fall gets richer brews with deeper malt profiles, hints of caramel and spice that warm you up. Winter seasonals lean into darker, fuller-bodied styles with notes of chocolate and roasted coffee. Spring means fresh, hoppy beers that celebrate the new season. Each one captures what that time of year should taste like.

Nashville Craft Beer Scene Starts Here

We helped build the Nashville craft beer scene. While other breweries have sold out or moved on, we're still here brewing local beer Nashville residents trust and visitors seek out. Every beer comes from our facility in The Nations, brewed with quality ingredients and genuine care for the craft. That's what makes us the go-to spot for craft beer Nashville locals have counted on for years.

Why We're the Best Place to Get Craft Beer in Nashville

Simple. We're locally owned, we've been here from the start and we brew everything on-site. You're drinking local, Nashville-made beer, not something shipped in from a corporate brewery. We're part of the community we serve, and every beer reflects what we're about — authentic Nashville craft beer that's brewed right.
