East Nashville Beer Works Brings Back Brut Willis Winter IPA

East Nashville Beer Works quietly re introduced Brut Willis Winter IPA in mid November, and the beer returned to both of the brewery's taprooms while also being released in cans. The November 18, 2025 BrewNews bulletin from Nashville BrewPass positioned the beer as a crisp, bold winter seasonal, signaling that the brewery is leaning into the colder months with a style meant for bright cold weather pours and easy sharing.

For community members who follow seasonal rotations and limited runs, the can release matters. Canning expands access beyond on premise pours and gives hobbyists the chance to sample at home, compare cellar stability between cans and draft, and include the beer in tasting line ups. The beer's return also offers taproom event anchors, providing a talking point for local meetups, tasting nights, and informal brewer and drinker conversations.

The BrewNews edition capped the East Nashville news with other items of interest to the local craft scene. Yazoo Brewing Co. earned recognition in Craft Beer and Brewing's Best of 2025 for its Embrace The Funk series, a nod that will draw attention to sour and mixed fermentation work among area fans and hobbyists. Nelson's Green Brier Distillery scheduled a holiday whiskey pop up for November 20, creating an occasion for crossover tasting between distilling and brewing communities. The bulletin also noted several taproom pop ups and barrel aged releases around town, underscoring a busy season for experimental and small batch work.

Taken together, the BrewNews update served as a compact industry and community briefing for drinkers, hobbyists, and homebrewers looking for new releases and tasting opportunities. With Brut Willis available on draft and in cans, and with multiple events and recognized releases highlighted, the bulletin offered a short list of ways local enthusiasts can plan visits, organize tastings, and stay plugged into Nashville's late autumn craft beverage calendar.
