Description
Welcome to Boscos Restaurant & Brewing Co., where casual dining, fresh food, and award-winning, handcrafted beer make Boscos your neighborhood restaurant.

Boscos, Tennessee’s First Brewpub
Prohibition may have ended in 1933, but Tennessee state laws prevented restaurants from brewing and selling beer until 1992, when the law was finally changed. This change led to the opening of Tennessee’s first brewpub, Boscos, The Restaurant for Beer Lovers, right here in Memphis, TN.

Since opening December 26, 1992, Boscos has won numerous local food accolades, dozens of national beer awards, and is considered a craft-brewing innovator and pioneer. We are proud to brew almost 60 styles of beer each year, including Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal Winner, Boscos Famous Flaming Stone.

Located in what was once Bombay Bicycle Club, Boscos Squared has lead the way in Overton Square’s resurgence as an arts and entertainment district.

Come in and see why Boscos is Memphis' best and only restaurant & brewery!

From tap at Boscos, Memphis. Old school Cascade IPA, some orangey & floral hops with caramel malt, modest sweetish grain. Bitter and sweetish flavour. Body is medium. Judging by the name the intent was to make an old school IPA, sucesfully I suppose.

Bosco's Fred Scheer does an excellent job with this IPA. Hoppy, smooth and the bitter is just right. Very enjoyable IPA.

This is the first beer that I've had that was brewed from a recipe in Charlie Papazians' book that I didn't brew myself. I couldn't have brewed it any better. No homebrew taste at all ;.) A good brown ale. Had it cask conditioned, but Charlie autographed a bottle personally to take home!
