Bearded Iris Brewing
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.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
