OK, so we are into the 3rd brewery on our day-drinking tour of Nashville but we have been around the block enough to know our beers. After driving by this place and having to turn around because of lack of signage, we suffered from “night blindness” upon enter due to low light levels and no windows. What kind of tasting room has ball-room chandliers and not lights over the pool table (not to mention the nude artwork)? With again a heavy influence leaning toward IPA’s, we tried the Noisemaker pale ale and the Bottle Rocket Kolsch. After looking at and tasting both, the server tried to convince us (with the attitude of “I don’t make a mistake”) that he got our order right even though they looked and tasted the EXACTLY the same which leads us back to the fact that this is not our first brewery experience (over 125 in fact). Someone needs to tell the brewmaster that there is indeed a distinct difference between pale ale & Kolsch and saying the Kolsch is “heavy on the hops” does not fly!
