About Yazoo Brewing Company

When he was just a poor college student in the early 90s, Linus Hall bought a homebrewing kit from the back pages of Rolling Stone. Ten years later, he opened his own brewery. Now home to several award-winning beers, Yazoo Brewing Company ships suds across the Southeast, hitting states such as Tennessee and Mississippi. It's also responsible for reviving Gerst beer, a brand that was extremely popular in Nashville before Prohibition—the dark era when the government dammed up the national beer reservoir. As for those who crave exclusive brews, they can stop by Yazoo's Nashville-based taproom, home to the brewery's limited releases and seasonal specialties.
