If you’ve been by the store recently, you may have visited our new beer cellar. We’re really excited about it over here at Cool Springs Wines & Spirits. As you walk in the store, just head directly to your left.
It’s currently located where Frank’s Value Cellar used to be. But don’t worry! Frank’s value wines are still located in that general location. The truth is that Frank’s Value Cellar outgrew that location and needed a little more room to spread its wings. The leftover space was perfect for a beer cellar.
Why a beer cellar? For those of you new to the interesting beer laws in Tennessee, it breaks down like this. To sell any beer above 6.2% alcohol, you must have a liquor license. Thus you can’t find many of the best beers available in grocery or regular beer stores. To get the best IPAs, seasonals, stouts, barley wines, meades, porters, Belgians, bocks, etc…you have to go to a bar or a liquor store like Cool Springs Wines & Spirits.
If you’re a beer lover, you must stop by and see our selection. It keeps getting bigger and brighter every day.
FEATURED BEER REVIEW

Stone 14th Anniversary Emperial IPA
Stone Brewing Company is at it again, making high quality beer with a creative twist on traditional brews. With every new year comes their anniversary beer which is always different from the year before. This year, Stone has come out with an Emperial IPA which is in the traditional British style. Using all British ingredients, Stone wants to remain as true to history as possible along with adding their own West Coast touch to the 14th Anniversary.
Upon opening/pouring this beer, you will find a copper orange color which is very nice. The nose smells of citrus, lemon, and pine among other nice aromas. The name Emperial will tell you that the flavor will be huge and the mouthfeel will be big and have some resin from the English Hops. The flavor of nice malts really comes out in the middle, and finishes nicely with a long, bitter taste as would be expected. With its big body and hoppy flavor, the alcohol is nicely balanced and enjoyable for almost any occasion.
