Brewery & Beers | Cool Springs Brewery | Nashville Microbrewery, Franklin, TN
This strong Scottish ale is brewed with malt imported from England. English pale malt, munich malt, caramel malt and roasted barley give this beer its deep amber color. Traditional English hops are also used in the recipe. The beer is full bodied and rich with a hint of smokiness, sure to warm you up on a cold winters evening.
Welcome to Cool Springs Brewery, the first and only microbrewery in Williamson County! I am very proud and excited to be a part of this historic project. My brewing philosophy is to make the very finest ales and lagers possible by using traditional brewing techniques and only the freshest ingredients available. I take pride in what I do and I hope when you try the beers you will understand why. Cheers!
--Mike Kraft, Brewmaster

For those customers who are "homebrewing" enthusiasts, or simply curious about hom brewing, here are a few tips from our Brewmaster, Mike Kraft...
1Sanitation is vital to brewing great beer! Make sure everything that comes into contact with the beer has been sanitized
2Do a full wort boil. This will give you better hop utilization, a better hot break, and better flavor extraction
3Use a good quality yeast strain and pitch enough of it to ensure a complete fermentation. Grow a yeast starter if necessary

This robust ale is brewed with two row pale malt, munich malt, unmalted roasted barley and two kinds of crystal malt. Northern Brewer hops are used for bittering and Amarillo hops for finishing.
This ale is the first beer to be commercially produced in Williamson County. Brewed in the style of a German Kolsch, this beer is light, crisp, and refreshing. Two row pale malt, Munich malt, and wheat malt are used in the mash and German hops are used in the brew kettle for this historic beer.
Brewed in the style of an India Pale Ale, a “dry hopping” technique is used where generous amounts of hops are added to the beer during its maturation stage which gives the beer an unmistakable floral and citrusy aroma. This beer is also known for its firm hop bitterness which is balanced nicely by the sweetness of the crystal malts used in this recipe.
The style of this beer is in the tradition of a German Altbier. Brewed with pale malt, munich malt and caramel malt, the flavor is rich and smooth. A pure German ale yeast is used to give this beer its authentic flavor.
The Cool Springs Brewery Schwarzbier is an ale version of a black German larger. This dark beer is not as full bodied as a porter or a Stout and is exceptionally smooth and easy to drink.
Loosely based in the German Maibock beer style but is an ale instead of a lager, this ale is deep golden in color with a clean and malty flavor, balanced by medium hop bitterness with a pleasant floral/citrus finish.
This beer is a traditional German style unfiltered wheat beer which contributes to its cloudy appearance. The flavor and aroma of this beer can be described as clove-like with vanilla and banana overtones. Lightly hopped and very refreshing!
This beer celebrates the 100th brew done by our Brewmaster at Cool Springs Brewery. It is a big, robust and roasty-chocolatey dark ale with a full body and complex finish.
