The editorial take

TailGate Brewery Music Row pours 30 house-made beers, ciders, and seltzers across a draft system that leans on a stable core and rotating taproom-only experiments. The lineup spans TailGate Orange's easy citrus wheat to Lager Projekt's Munich helles and a barrel-aged series. Customers describe the range as wide and the quality high, with specialty styles such as wild ale and imperial stout earning attention.

What should I order?: Start with TailGate Orange, a 5% ABV American wheat ale with orange, for a clean, citrus-forward entry. Then move to Lager Projekt, a German-style Munich helles at 4.8% ABV, to gauge the brewery's lager discipline. If available, explore the taproom-only SHNACK or Wild Ales series for a more experimental pour.
Who will enjoy this place?: Beer drinkers who value a broad draft list will find plenty to explore, from approachable core beers like TailGate Cider to more niche taproom-only releases such as bière de garde and imperial stouts. Those interested in a brewery's creative range rather than a narrow house style will appreciate the variety.
What makes the beverage program distinctive?: The Music Row taproom's distinction lies in its 30 draft lines, all dedicated to TailGate-brewed beers, ciders, and seltzers. That scale allows the brewery to run core standards alongside taproom-only series like Lager Projekt, Barrel Project, SHNACK, and Wild Ales, giving regulars a rotating window into experimental work.
