NASHVILLE, Tenn. — On Saturday, August 1, Jackalope Brewing Company welcomes the community to its taproom and patio for one of its most anticipated events, the Hazy Days Summer Celebration.
In appreciation of one of the brewery’s most beloved beers and the people who drink it, Jackalope’s Wedgewood-Houston location will transform into an island-inspired paradise with tropical food and drinks, live entertainment, brewery tours and activities for guests of all ages. Throughout the day, there will also be live music and entertainment, including steel drum performances and a Jimmy Buffett tribute band.
“In the Summer in Tennessee, there’s no better place to be than the Jackalope Taproom with a Hazy IPA in hand,” said Steve Barone, owner of Jackalope. “We’re excited to celebrate our Hazy IPA and its continued success and momentum with the community with the type of unforgettable activation and programming we’ve become well known for. You won’t want to miss our 2026 Hazy Days, I promise you that.”
The celebration of Hazy IPAs will uplift Jackalope’s flagship Hazy IPA, which has become one of the fastest-rising and best-selling of its kind in Nashville. It will also feature the new Hazy Cask beer release, Hop Drop specialty cocktails, margaritas, tropical hard seltzers, and a draft truck. Meanwhile, perfect food pairings will be served all day from the grill tent, including “cheeseburgers in paradise,” pork sandwiches with pineapple salsa, Hawaiian pizza, grilled pineapple and fresh watermelon.
From noon to six, music and live steel drums will keep the patio buzzing. At 7:30, Jimmy Buffett Tribute band Lost In Paradise will begin.
Pets are welcome to Hazy Days. Both two-legged and four-legged guests are encouraged to rock their best beachwear, sunglasses, Hawaiian shirts, and jackalope antlers. There will be a costume contest with prizes for the best-dressed human and pets.
In addition to food, drinks and live entertainment, Hazy Days will offer hourly brewery tours, vinyl spin art, family-friendly yard games and activities, kiddie and doggie pools.
