“It’d be a lot cooler if you did”
Mellow Mushroomon the square in downtown Franklin, TN. We know what you’re thinking…..well actually no we don’t because if we could truly read peoples minds we’d be chillin’ on some island somewhere (well separate islands of course…that’s just weird) because we would have made a bunch of cash from being on the t.v. reading peoples minds…..Anyhoo….. Our point is, Mellow Mushroom might not be what comes to mind when you think of a good place to drink some different beers. Well, this restaurant has surprised us. They have a large selection on tap (around 20) and at least twice that many in the bottle. Plus if you’re there before 7 pm, the beer is cheaper.
Brian grabbed a Sweetwater 420 for $2.25 and Josh had a Red Hook ESBfor $2. The Sweetwater 420 is becoming another one of our favorite pale ales. If you’re looking to dive into the world of pale ales, this is a good one to start with. A lot of people say that they don’t like the after taste of some pales. Sweetwater is great and it doesn’t have a funky after taste. Some would say “it finishes clean” but all we know is it doesn’t make your face scrunch up after you drink. This is good, especially if it’s date night : Grade B+
Mellow Mushroom in Franklin has at least 3 Sweetwater beers on tap and host of others that are sometimes harder to find including Magic Hat #9. Saga and Introverted One (shout outs) have both posted about that beer so it’s cool to know this is one place to find it in the area.
It’s always cool to find something great when you’re not expecting it. Cheers to you Mellow Mushroom, we’ll review the Vandy location soon. Keep it……er…..mellow? :: lame
p.s. name the movie that this blog is titled after and win!

Sweetwater is a great brew… plus I hear that they donate a considerable amount of their profits to cleaning up the nasty Chattahoochie River.
Beer with a conscience… nice.
Thanks for the shout out.
I mean, thanks for the shout out haha.
Damn, I didn’t realize Magic Hat made it down to Tennessee (not the biggest fan though).
I’m just not a pale ale person, so while sweetwater is one of the better pales i’ve had, it still just can’t cut it for my tastes.
Mellow Mushroom is a great place..it’s one of those little local areas no one really knows about except the locals. My Brother used to work there and, they also have some seriously good pizza!
We agree with you Candace. Mellow Mushroom is quite fantastic. We’re glad we stopped there to drink. A very nice classroom indeed! What is a more perfect combination than pizza and beer? Nothing.
