Memphis’ history of local breweries may date back to the 1800s, but new on the scene this month are tours of Memphis Made Brewing Co.
Memphis Made Brewing Co. is now offering tours of its new Edge District brewery at 16 S. Lauderdale St., and I was able to join the brewery’s inaugural event earlier this month.
Andy Ashby, who founded Memphis Made with Drew Barton, met the group at the brewery’s entrance and began the tour with a history lesson on Memphis breweries, yes, dating back to the 1800s.
