If you’ve been by the store recently, you may have visited our new beer cellar. We’re really excited about it over here at Cool Springs Wines & Spirits. As you walk in the store, just head directly to your left.
It’s currently located where Frank’s Value Cellar used to be. But don’t worry! Frank’s value wines are still located in that general location. The truth is that Frank’s Value Cellar outgrew that location and needed a little more room to spread its wings. The leftover space was perfect for a beer cellar.
Why a beer cellar? For those of you new to the interesting beer laws in Tennessee, it breaks down like this. To sell any beer above 6.2% alcohol, you must have a liquor license. Thus you can’t find many of the best beers available in grocery or regular beer stores. To get the best IPAs, seasonals, stouts, barley wines, meades, porters, Belgians, bocks, etc…you have to go to a bar or a liquor store like Cool Springs Wines & Spirits.
If you’re a beer lover, you must stop by and see our selection. It keeps getting bigger and brighter every day.
FEATURED BEER REVIEW
Updated August 2, 2010
Stone Sublimely Self Righteous
Stone's Sublimely Self Righteous Ale was there 11th anniversary ale that was only intended to be brewed one time. Because it is such a huge hit with the brewers themselves and the consumers that found it as one of their best brews, they just had to keep brewing it. With its name, label and taste its all Stone attitude.
The Sublimely Self Righteous Ale pours very black with a light colored head that lingers for what seems like forever. The aroma is of molasses, bright fruit, roasted malt, and chocolate. This brew, like many other Stone products, has a heavyweight body and a resinous mouthfeel. This brew tastes of major chocolate, very bitter hops, citrus, and a touch of caramel that would make any Stout or IPA drinker happy! This is truly one of my favorite brews I have ever tasted and I'm so glad they kept brewing it long after their 11th anniversary came and went. This black IPA is HUGE, enjoy responsibly!
