What Memphis's weather means for breweries
Summer runs hot in Memphis, with about 72 days a year at 90°F or more and July averaging a high of 92°F, so a light tee and mesh-back cap release belongs on the calendar by late spring. Once highs dip under 65°F in November, swap the front of the shelf to hoodies and beanies until March; January, at an average high of 51°F, is the heart of that season. Wet weather is common, about 55 inches of rain a year, so a rainy Saturday is when the merch wall gets the most attention; keep it stocked and sized. The low dips to 32°F or colder on roughly 45 nights a year, so a hoodie that layers under a jacket sells well once the first freeze arrives, and patio staff need a warm layer for evening shifts. Rain peaks at roughly 5.9 inches in April, so a patio release that month needs a rain date or a covered spot by the door.

Ordering from Memphis
When should a taproom in Memphis lean on tees and caps instead of fleece?
Summers are hot enough here that tees and mesh-back caps should own the shelf from April to October, then give way to hoodies and beanies as the nights cool.
