” Since 2011, the East Nashville Beer Fest has been one of the premier tasting events in the city, which is no surprise when you know that the presenters include Matt Leff’s Rhizome Productions and the team at M.L.Rose Craft Beer & Burgers, two groups dedicated to elevating all things associated with craft beer.
This year’s edition of the fest will be held at East Park at 700 Woodland St. from noon until 5 p.m. on Saturday, April 12. The event will feature live music and food trucks — including Chivanada, Saus Fries, Mikey’s Pizza, New Berlin, Rolling Recipe, The Grilled Cheeserie and Little Cancun on the Go — along with other vendors and live wrestling courtesy of Music City Brew Hop. (The tour company isn’t doing the wrestling, by the way. They’re just sponsoring it.)
Designated driver tickets are also available for those who step up to be a hero for their friends, and these tickets include access to the Untitled Arts DD Lounge during the festival, with a variety of nonalcoholic beers and snacks offered.
And of course, there will be beer. Lots and lots of beer for tasting from some of your favorite local, regional and national breweries. The ENBF dropped the first list of participants earlier this year, and it’s an impressive roster:
