Big Woods Brewing Company

All of these fucking places are listed as American (New).

That is a lie.

What is not a lie, is that this place has some pretty great beers.

And sliders - that I got to go.

I had one of their IPAs, which got me sufficiently buzzed.

For a tiny town like Nashville, not bad motherfuckers.

Also, met some screenplay writer from Evansville who lived in Manhattan for 8 years.

Cool! I'm visiting from Brooklyn.

Also also, got a real real dirty look from one of the guys who works here.

Like, a look that says -

"Get out o' ma cuntry town ya fuckin faggot."

Here's some advice for you -

I don't dress like a "fuckin faggot."

I dress "fuckin hipsta that betta than u."

I'm no homo.

Well, actually,

homo.

Man, do I ever just love this place!

Best beer in the world, no.  Best food in the world, no.

One of the coolest places anywhere, yes.  There is just something about the charm of Nashville, be it hokey or be it cartoonish. Something simply is wonderful about getting away to the back hills of Indiana and realizing it is only an hour or so south of our beloved Carmel.  Sitting back in a rustic environment enjoying a delicious stout, and packing up your growlers to haul back to Sweetwater Lake.

Go there today, honestly.

It's hard to find good food in Nashville. Arts and crafts? Those are easy to come by.
Candles and pottery? Everywhere.

We find that often businesses in Nashville close early (if they are even open at all) -- so it was nice to find a restaurant serving decent food at good prices late into the evening. Plus, Big Woods brews their own beer! (note: no liquor here, just beer)

Most of the food we sampled was average but for sure, we enjoyed BW's pizza. We ordered "Emily's Garden" -- a white pie with spinach, mushroom, tomatoes, black olives, squash, mozzarella and feta cheese. The veggies were super fresh and the thin crust had a great crunch. The feta was a light dusting -- not overly salty or pungent at all.

The server brought me some various beer samples to help me make up my mind -- both of us LOVED all the beer we drank.

There was also live music the night we dined here.

In closing -- a 3 star restaurant for sure, but given the competition, I'd rate Big Woods a 4 for overall dining experience.
