CHEERS TO 100 YEARS!
Tennessee Brew Works has partnered with the Tennessee Women’s Suffrage Committee, The Hermitage Hotel and businesses across Tennessee to commemorate the historical ratification of the 19th Amendment here in Tennessee, 100 years ago, with a special release ale and event on Aug. 16.
The project is led by an all-female team which includes Tennessee Brew Works Brewer Stephanie Smith, Sales and Marketing Associate Alyssa Gayle and Event Coordinator Mara Hines. The label was created by local illustrator Erica Berhow.
Persistence Peach Ale, Fruited Ale, 5.4% ABV
DESCRIPTION: A Bellini cocktail-inspired beer loaded with real peach and pomegranate. Commemorating the centennial of the 19th Amendment’s ratification, this one-of-a-kind beer pays homage to the decades of activism and persistence that led to women's suffrage.

“With all the challenges in the world right now, it’s nice to take a moment and acknowledge the country’s advancements. It is also important to recognize that these advancements were born from struggle: decades of protest and activism that have shaped our history and rights as women,” said Tennessee Brew Works Brewer Stephanie Smith. “We hope to see people drink this beer in celebration of a historic moment in Tennessee and our national history.”
The Persistence Peach Ale will be showcased at The Hermitage Hotel’s Capitol Grille and Oak Bar, within The Hermitage Hotel, during their Suffrage-themed events.
"The Hermitage Hotel is honored to partner with Tennessee Brew Works on its Persistence Peach Ale" said Managing Director, Dee Patel. " We look forward to raising a pint to the trailblazing women of the Suffrage movement who held a strong, clear vision for the future of women and democracy in the United States.
We'll have LIVE COUNTRY MUSIC throughout the day, featuring Taylor Alexander, Jon Byrd and Erin Hazelrig Music and her Dolly Parton Tribute Band.
No cover, no advance ticketing. Just come on over...but don't wait too long either! RAIN OR SHINE! We got you 'covered', so don't sweat the weather.
P.S. Our patio is dog-friendly (weather permitting, the Health Board won’t let us bring them inside though).
