Flying Saucer Draught Emporium
Don't let the fact that there's more than 12 locations in six states. (If you mention the word "chain" around them, you may as well get a beer in your face!) This family of brew pubs, including one in Nashville, boasts an abundant selection of more than 200 craft beers with as many as 80 of those brews on tap. That means many as 20 of those taps are dedicated to local breweries, allowing for customers to enjoy and support brewers in their area. Loyal customers, or true beer lovers, also love participating in the Saucer's UFO Club, which allows members (called "Beerknurds" ) to track the beers they've sampled. After tasting 200 different beers — with no repeats — they receive a plate in the Ring of Honor, which hangs on the walls of the Saucer for all to see.
