Why Is The Beer So Good At Blackstone? The answer is simple, History. The beers brewed at Blackstone are included in a growing segment of the brewing industry known as "craft beers." Craft beers are full-flavored beers made using traditional methods and ingredients. This style of beer is not new to the United States. The United States was founded and built by people from every corner of the world. These people brought their won brewing traditions and beer styles with them to the "New World."
In fact, prior to Prohibition, there were over a thousand different brewing companies in the United States. Before the turn of the century Nashville was home to several breweries.
So, what happened to all of these diverse beers, and the breweries that produced them? Even before Prohibition, a number of larger breweries were taking advantage of new technologies such as pasteurization and refrigerated rail cars. These advances made it possible for the first time to create national brands, with nation-wide distribution and mass marketing.
