The editorial take

TailGate Brewery Germantown pours a rotating lineup of 30 TailGate beers, ciders, and seltzers on draft. The year-round core includes Orange Wheat, Lager Projekt Munich Helles, A Wizards' Order IPA, and TailGate Cider. Taproom-only and specialty series bring Barrel Project barrel-aged beers, SHNACK heavily fruited small-batch releases, and Wild Ales from the East wild fermentation program. Orange Wheat holds a gold medal. Distribution stays exclusive to Tennessee through Lipman Brothers, Athens, and L&H Distributors. Customers describe flights and a range spanning pilsners, alt, IPAs, and imperial stouts.

What should I order?: Start with the gold medal awarded TailGate Orange Wheat, a light-bodied American wheat ale with orange. For a crisp counterpoint, Lager Projekt Munich Helles; for hops, A Wizards' Order IPA. TailGate Cider covers a semi-sweet, 100% Washington apple option. Ask which taproom-only Barrel Project, SHNACK, or Wild Ale is currently pouring.
Who will enjoy this place?: Beer drinkers who want a broad Tennessee-exclusive draft list with core styles and experimental taproom-only releases. Groups can build flights across pilsners, alt, IPAs, stouts, ciders, and seltzers.
When should I go?: When you want to compare several TailGate styles side by side; a flight supports that without committing to a full pour.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: A 30-tap rotating lineup of TailGate beers, ciders, and seltzers, with taproom-only Barrel Project barrel-aged beers, SHNACK heavily fruited small-batch releases, and Wild Ales from the East wild fermentation program. Distribution is exclusive to Tennessee through Lipman Brothers, Athens, and L&H Distributors.
