"nats set up"
"There
is no football, baseball has been ehhh, pretty sure this is the only
game in town right now" says Lars Copperud, co-owner of Mafiaoza's, the
title sponsor of the festival.
In addition to beer, another couple dozen vendors will set up shop.
All for thousands of people that will fill downtown Nashville on Saturday for music cities original beer festival.
"We have about 7500 people that will come out tomorrow" says event director Candace Price.
"We've
got all best beers you can imagine, but those with a different pallet,
we have mikes hard lemonade and ciders" adds Price.
Heat and alcohol don't go hand and hand - but free water and fans will be plentiful at the 21 and up event.
"We have complimentary water that will be here, 3 misting tents, more shade than past" says Price.
In addition to tasting lots of beer, the music city brewers club will be on hand, teaching you how to make it!
Maybe you'll end up like Bailey Spaulding and fall in love with the science!
"Your
brew day is the day you mill all grains, mix with water, boil in hops,
then add yeast and ferments" explains Bailey Spaulding.
Spaulding is co-founder of Jackalope Brewing Company. It was Brewers Fest last year that launched its brand.
"We
only had 1/2 as many kegs as suppose to because we were so small so ran
out after like an hour of each session" Spaulding laughs.
Spaulding says this year they are fully armed and ready to pour you a
cold one, but not just for fun, a portion of the festivals proceeds
benefits Second Harvest Food Bank
"It's gonna be fun because
it's rare you get the opportunity to interact with that many people
excited about coming and trying beer" says Spaulding.
Tickets
are still available for the early session. Organizers don't expect them
to last. You should also note that the price goes up at midnight.

2 appellate court judges are stepping down
May 24, 2013 21:29 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Tennessee appellate court judges have notified Gov. Bill Haslam that they will not run for another term on the bench in the August 2014 retention election.
Patricia J. Cottrell, a judge on the Court of Appeals, and Joseph M. Tipton, who sits on the Court of Criminal Appeals bench, will both leave after September of next year.
The announcements come after the state legislature left Tennessee without a way to replace judges who step down or die when a commission expires at the end of next month.
Members of the soon-to-be-defunct Judicial Nominating Commission will make recommendations for replacements to give to Haslam before the panel expires. Haslam will appoint the replacements from those recommendations.
