Perrylodgic Brewing

Thanks for having open hours but not actually selling beer. Also, thanks for being dicks about it. Happy Halloween…

I recently took a trip back to TN (I grew up there) and my BIL has been going off about Perrylodgic. I last visited 5 years ago, and at that time, several small breweries had cropped up slinging their own craft beers. Hey, it beats Bud/​Miller/​Coors but they had a LONG way to go. Needless to say, I wasn’t expecting much.
So me, the BIL, and my cousin visiting from NJ made the ride up to Paris. I gotta say… the mid south’s brewing has come a long way! We sampled everything they had there, and the beers weren’t bad at all. The Randall was my favorite, but the Okto needs some fine tuning. They didn’t have a dedicated IPA, but the pale ale was a good substitute. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and the whole place could have easily been at home in Portland or Denver. They even had a stand at the brewfest that weekend in Jackson. One of the owners recognized us an hooked us up with even more swag. Cool group of guys who own this place.
I had to deduct a star for the food on deck. Now, they have a rotating group of food trucks and the one that nite kind of left me flat. I went for the bratwurst which was really just a brat spiced beef hot dog. No kraut, either! BIL says they had a rockin BBQ place which was the best pulled pork sandwich he’d ever had. I know its just the truck du jour and not their own… but its all part of the experience.
