Jackalope Brewing Company
Jackalope Brewing Company was founded in 2011 by Bailey Spaulding and Robyn Virball, becoming one of the first female-founded and female-owned breweries in Tennessee at a moment when women running production breweries remained a genuine rarity across the American craft beer industry. Thunder Ann Golden Ale, named after Spaulding's grandmother, became the brewery's flagship and one of the more recognizable core beers to emerge from Nashville's early 2010s craft beer growth, helping establish Jackalope as a genuine commercial presence rather than a novelty. The founders' backgrounds — Spaulding had worked in craft beer sales before starting the brewery, giving her direct insight into what the local market actually wanted — shaped a deliberately approachable, sessionable core lineup rather than an extreme-styles-first approach. For a Nashville breweries list, Jackalope is the essential "female-founded pioneer" entry — one of Tennessee's first female-owned breweries, built around an approachable core lineup led by its Thunder Ann Golden Ale.
VS
Southern Grist Brewing Company
Southern Grist Brewing Company opened in East Nashville in 2016, founded by Kevin Antoon and Jamie Lee, building a reputation around an experimental, rapidly rotating release schedule spanning hazy IPAs, pastry-inspired stouts, and fruited sours rather than a fixed core lineup. That rotation-first model, releasing new limited beers on a near-weekly basis rather than leaning primarily on a handful of flagship styles, mirrored the broader national shift toward experimental, social-media-driven small-batch releases that came to define a significant segment of craft beer in the late 2010s. The brewery's East Nashville taproom became a hub for the neighborhood's broader craft beer growth during the same period the area was rapidly gentrifying and developing its own distinct identity separate from downtown Nashville's more tourist-driven bar scene. For a Nashville breweries list, Southern Grist is the essential "constant experimentation" entry — an East Nashville brewery whose rapid-rotation release model, spanning hazy IPAs to pastry stouts, embodies craft beer's small-batch, always-something-new era.
