Known for New England IPA

Founded in 2016 by Derek Osborne and Caleb Napier in Nashville's Germantown neighbourhood. Bearded Iris quickly gained national recognition for their soft, hazy New England IPAs — particularly Homestyle and Tunnel Vision. One of the most forward-thinking craft breweries in the American South and a driving force behind the NEIPA movement in Tennessee.
