Hammer & Ale

Amazing place! A definite must visit taproom with good food offerings. Local beers from around Memphis. Not large meals, but handcrafted foods to scratch that itch.

Nice little spot to stop for a drink. A wide selection of beers as well as wine and bourbon.

I was googling for craft beer in Memphis and glad this placed showed up in the search. I passed by the place and already felt that this would be a good place to hangout while waiting for my father. I was like a kid in a candy store. Happy to have enough options, a mix of NEIPAs, Session IPAs, a stout and even beers inspired by the geologists Hutton & Smith. The vibe was relaxed. I would definitely go back again.

When I visit a city, I always research anything local. For beer, it's really important to me to seek out local breweries and taprooms that support and showcase them. Hammer and ale hit the mark dead on. I didn't get a count while I was there, but there were at least 20+ local/regional beers on tap. I allowed who I assume was the owner assemble a 6 beer flight for me and he provided a great selection. This a cozy nook of a space with a great spacious and casual patio right in the street of a hip neighborhood. I am certainly hoping to get back there before I leave in a few days. Thanks for having me!!

Fantastic selection of beers, and the owner was really helpful in offering suggestions and answering questions. The atmosphere had some nice character and felt cozy. This is the kind of place I could find myself frequenting if I lived in Memphis.
