TailGate Brewery Opens New Smashville Bar in Bridgestone Arena

This fiercely independent brewery now has its own spot for Preds fans on the main concourse – Music City Taps

NASHVILLE, Dec. 5, 2024 – Let’s go Preds! TailGate Brewery is getting in on the action at Bridgestone Arena, home of the Nashville Predators, and bringing their innovative beers to Smashville all season long. Predators fans can now enjoy TailGate’s locally brewed and fiercely independent craft beers at Music City Taps and throughout Bridgestone Arena.


The TailGate Bar at Bridgestone Arena was made possible through the brewery’s partnership with Lipman Brothers Distributing. Located near the main entrance on Broadway, Music City Taps will offer four TailGate beers on draft, pouring core offerings like TailGate Orange, Wizards’ Order IPA Series, and TENN Golden Lager, plus Cucumber Lemongrass Hard Seltzer and seasonal releases like Peanut Butter Milk Stout. 

Thirsty Preds fans seeking delicious local brews can also find TailGate Orange, Wizards Order IPA and TENN Golden Lager in 19.2 oz. cans throughout the arena. 


“This is our first branded location in a major arena, and it means a lot to us as Nashville sports fans,” said TailGate Brewery’s sole owner and original founder, Wesley Keegan. “We’ve been involved with the Preds for years; we partner with “Krazy Kyle”, the Preds organist, on a collab every year and many of our taprooms have been voted “Best Preds Bar” over the years. Traditionally we haven’t invested in these types of sponsorships, so this one is special, and it’s possible because we’ve spent years prioritizing the well-being of more than 250 of our team members in Tennessee, which has allowed us to grow, thrive and try new things.”


In 2024, TailGate Brewing was voted a Top Workplace by the Tennessean for the second year in a row. To achieve its goal of being a Top Workplace, TailGate actively works toward that initiative by offering 100% company-paid healthcare for their team members, and consistently auditing wages to ensure they’re among the best in the craft beer industry. 


Smash your thirst with a TailGate beer at Bridgestone Arena at the Predators’ next home game. BYOC (Bring Your Own Catfish). Other local brands will also be available at the Music City Taps, including Little Harpeth Brewing and Hap & Harry’s Tennessee Beer, as well as frozen drinks, canned seltzers, and cocktails.
