The Top 6 Brewery Tours in Nashville

Nashville’s known for its music, but its craft beer scene is quietly (or not-so-quietly) crushing it. Whether you're into hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, or bold experimental brews, Music City’s brewery tours let you tap into something truly local. What sets Nashville apart? It's the blend of southern hospitality, creative brewing, and neighborhood vibes—each stop tells a story, often with a killer view or a live band in the background.

Most brewery tours here go beyond the beer. Some include behind-the-scenes access with the brewers, others bundle in BBQ, murals, or pedal-powered fun. If you’re short on time but want a no-fuss overview, the Downtown Nashville Brewery Tour by Golf Cart is a fast favorite—fun, breezy, and you’ll hit three breweries in just a couple hours. Want more time to savor each pint? The Nashville Walking Brewery Tour in the Gulch keeps it laid-back and local with a small group and deeper brewery convos.

Traveling with friends or a big crew? This all-inclusive Pub Crawl turns it up to 11 with music, snacks, and a whole lotta hops—perfect for bachelor/bachelorette groups. But if you’re a true beer nerd, check out the VIP Behind-the-Scenes Brewmaster Tour, which often includes seasonal tastings not on the menu and brewer Q&As.

All of these experiences are picked by locals who know the scene, based on real customer reviews, tour pacing, group size, and value for the money. Nashville’s beer scene is growing fast—tours fill quickly on weekends, especially in spring and fall. Pro tip: early afternoon slots tend to be more chill and less crowded.
