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.

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.
