When you have a stately Paul Rudd and his Wet Hop American Summer beer welcome you into the Nashville scene, you know you’ve come to the right place.

Jackalope Brewing is one of the best known craft breweries in the town. It’s surprising dense with new breweries, and even though I had my fill in Asheville, I’ve been making the rounds here in Music City USA.

It’s located in an upscale, warehouse district with fancy eateries that have valet parking because, the area is severely lacking in it. Pretty much every building has a sign warning you not to park there.

In any event, $8 gets you a flight of four ounces — perfect for sampling and taking home a six-pack. Here’s what I had:

• Bearwalker Maple Brown Ale
• Peach Tea Pale Ale
• Thunder Ann Pale Ale
• Peaches & Cream Ale

Just make sure you tip in the jars as directed:
