The Pigs were treated to some southern hospitality on their
recent trip to Memphis at High Cotton Brewery. The welcome mat was
rolled out for our arrival to this one of kind, spacious, warm,
countryesque brewery with some of the most delectable brews in
Tennessee.
After a few brews to jumpstart the afternoon we sat down with Ryan,
the owner and head brewer, and Cayleigh Tralongo, taproom manager
and resident whiskey drinker.
Lots of intense, comedic discussions on the pro and cons of high
gravity brews, Ryan's brewing history, a hate filled rant on Bud,
and Dougie Fresh accidently outs Cowboy.
The brews flowed, highlighted by a couple of our High Cotton
favorites, their luscious stout and ESB, as the conversation
cruised throughout the afternoon with some shout outs to Bailey
Spaulding of Jackalope Brewing Company, Eilise Lane Servies of
Scarlet Lane Brewery, Memphis Made Brewing, and the Yazoo Brewing
Company.
Tune in for the ride and be sure to get to High Cotton on your next
trip to Memphis for some fantastic beer and fine southern
hospitality.
Cheers!
(And a big thanks to Cayleigh and her bf for being the pigs guide
to Memphis that eventful Friday night and for popping our cherries
at Wild Bill's.)
