Description
Located in the heart of Nashville, TN, New Heights Brewing is a small craft brewery that creates ales we’re passionate about and crave—from intensely hoppy IPAs to crisp, clean ales and rich imperial stouts. It all began with a brew kit—that head brewer, Jeff Fountain, received from his wife, Tracey. After lots of corporate hours in cultures highly reminiscent of the movie Office Space, Jeff quit his 9-5 to do what really made him happy—working with his hands and giving back to the community by making great beer.
From his beginnings as a microbrewery volunteer in Carlsbad, CA, to brewer at San Diego’s Mission Brewery, Jeff honed his craft and discovered his own style. Through his job at Mission and his involvement in local homebrew clubs (Mash Heads), Jeff was exposed to some of the best and brightest craftsmen in the industry.
In 2014, armed with years of experience, research, plans, and thousands of backyard brewing hours to unearth the perfect first flight, Jeff and Tracey moved to Nashville to start New Heights Brewing—an ode to their San Diego neighborhood (our logo features the University Heights’ North Park Water Tower in front of the Nashville skyline), and a salute to starting new beginnings, making bold moves, and finding “home” wherever you are.

Draft at Craft Brewed. Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Dank tropical fruit, blood orange on the nose. Dry and clean on the palate. More tropical fruit, slight gummy bears. Medium bitterness. New Heights is probably the best at the west coast style pales and IPAs in the city. Really dug this one. --- Beer merged from original tick of Mosaic Dry Hopped on 03 Nov 2017 at 21:46 - Score: 7. Original review text: Dank tropical fruit, blood orange on the nose. Dry and clean on the palate. More tropical fruit, slight gummy bears. Medium bitterness.

Tap at Craft Brewed. Pours a clear gold with a small head of foam. Orange and faint pineapple notes on the nose. Clean and light-bodied on the palate. Dangerously smooth for 9%. Literally no trace of alcohol. Quick finish with some lingering grass, orange and faint tropical notes. Some fruit pebble aromas as it warms. Pretty solid drop.
