At the end of a long day, it’s nice to enjoy a good craft beer. Fortunately for Morrison locals, several breweries within driving distance can satisfy those cravings. One might even become your new go-to spot for kicking back and relaxing with friends.
Depot Bottom Brewery
Located about 15 minutes from Morrison in McMinnville, Depot Bottom Brewery is a small, downtown craft brewery that’s big on flavor. The brewery’s taprooms feature in-house brews as well as supplies you can purchase to try making your own craft brews at home. If you’re serious enough, the brewery offers classes to teach you everything from brewing basics to developing your own craft beer masterpieces.
While Depot Bottom Brewery doesn’t serve food, a food truck often provides meals outside. You’re also welcome to order food delivery. The staff is always super friendly and laid-back, and they encourage you to feel at home.
Hop Springs
If you don’t mind driving toward Murfreesboro, Hop Springs is a fun destination worth experiencing with the whole family. Located on John Bragg Highway, Hop Springs features a beer drive-thru, beer truck delivery, disc golf, a running trail, a dog park, on-site catering, and (of course) a brewery.
Since 2017, Hop Springs has been producing Steel Barrel beers in conjunction with Middle Tennessee State University’s fermentation science degree program. Offerings include Americana pale ale, Frost crushable ale, Raider IPA, Spree Berliner Weisse, Derrick export stout, Johnny Red American-style Scottish ale, and Crockett lager.
The brewery has other ventures, as well. The Humulus Project offers bold, experimental IPAs such as the Rethink New England-style IPA. Mantra has a distinctive beer portfolio consisting of both seasonal and year-round bottles as well as limited releases. Currently, Hop Springs is home to two taprooms: Mantra Taproom and Steel Barrel Taproom.
Common John Brewing Co.
Humble, hardworking, and proud of its blue-collar roots, Common John Brewing Co. is passionate about good, refreshing beer. The company got its start in a small shop with friends listening to music and experimenting with craft brews.
