My favorite thing I’ve watched on KZbin in a WHILE! Can’t wait for more. Cheers!

[@melynn_0355]

Amazing to finally find something on this!! This is exactly the thing I aspire to except for wine and specifically meads instead of beer but sounds very close

[@Baruch05]

Aspiring brewery owner here. This video was 100% useful and can't wait for more of this! Thank you so much!

[@CrazyAboutVinylRecords]

That's because most craft beer sucks. A truckload of hops in every can is not good beer.

[@daveshopfenstube]

What a great and insightful video! I heard about your brewery in a craft beer professional group when you were looking for a director of brewing. After watching this video I'm even more excited to see the different locations and Nashville in general. Hopefully, that will happen soon! All the best from Nürnberg, Germany and keep up the awesome work!

Y'all thank you for your transparency!!! CHEERS! - Turkey Creek Brewery

[@noahscxtt902]

As an entrepreneur and a soon-to-be college graduate, my goal is to open a craft brewery like this. I love the vibe & I think it would be so exciting to build the brand. This series is dope and one of a kind !

[@smgri]

Great video,,,,I think this is what people want…the reality of the biz. Thanks for this look behind the curtains !😊

[@indiekiduk]

This was a really great video, I liked how the intro seemed like it was going to be all a big rant about the beer industry but turned into something really positive and exciting! Will definitely visit next time in TN ;-)

Visited the east location back in November, my wife and I did the trolly tour, and we both agreed that your beer was by far some of the best we had that weekend. In fact probably some of the best beer so far. Keep up the great work and hope to see your product up here in Wisconsin soon!

[@tailgatebrewery]

Thank you so much! Really glad y'all stopped by!

[@scotttouron5593]

Great series !

[@FourPriestsBrewery]

Love this! UK startup brewery here. Thanks for the video.

[@theeamazingkrabb5358]

Dude, I'm pumped. I'm in the very beginning stages of starting up a Kombucha brewery here in Georgia. Best of continued success to you!!!

[@tailgatebrewery]

thank you, and likewise! You'll have to bring some up for us to try sometime!

[@XPLRNASH]

Hands down our favorite brewery in Nashville! Looking forward to this series.

[@dylanbode6995]

I just received my first brewery kit tonight. I’m really green at this industry but my girlfriend and I are dreaming of starting a brewery together. I currently work in sales at a logistics company in Minneapolis. I have the business and logistics background but I’m watching as many videos as I can to learn. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks for your video!

[@probegt75]

Fantastic video now I want to try your beers that peanut butter sounds delicious

[@jeffroach3722]

[@sergiocasseb3164]

Hugs from Brazil 🍻 and VAI CORINTHIANS!

[@joshuapinter]

I'm hooked dude. Your honesty not only on the business being shit but also on absolutely loving it was refreshing. Saved this for later watching.

[@stuartdeming]

Fantastic video, I can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@funjunk2835]

That pizza looks pretty good too.

[@vytautasmilkeraitis2800]

These venues look really neat and modern, I wish I could open at least a small one! But such quality and equipment cost a fortune, and this is the major blocker to start a business - how to get the capital money?

[@justonebeer6197]

Holy shit Dolan!!!

[@jasonjones9210]

So some collabs with some Knoxville breweries please.

[@savagesfortruth]

I support small businesses that brew in there local communities that the passion I want to see in people some of these other people have tons of money but they don’t care about their customers or the community and those are the people I can’t stand .

[@davidthokchom496]

❤

[@erinpennington7786]

Love this! Can't wait for more!

[@michaelhigdon2912]

Excellent vid, looking forward to more!

[@dauntlessgaming2085]

As someone whos in transition from an assistant brewer to the head brewer hearing, "The business of Craft beer f***ng sucks, BUT God help me, I love it." resonates deeply

[@pieman192]

Just drinking a can of your peanut butter milk stout here in the UK 👍

[@namszaza3697]

I am in Zambia. I run a bar and we face everyday struggles with shortages of beer everyday since we depend on one brewery which is a monopoly in the region. I have been looking into ways to abate yhis by bringing other breweries on the scene. I would like to start one but as much as I have access to financing, I lack the know how. Anyone from anywhere who has the expertise can come on board.

[@tsavolion]

Banji! ( probably didn’t spell that right!) I am in Texas and have a gluten intolerance and am starting what could potentially be the first gluten free brewery in our state. I’ve looked to Africa for inspiration as so many African countries have been brewing with sorghum and millet for centuries!

[@iseletoopu3313]

​@@tsavolionever heard of fonio?

[@tsavolion]

@@iseletoopu3313 no! What is it?

[@iseletoopu3313]

​@@tsavolion gluten free ,African grain

[@tsavolion]

@@iseletoopu3313 nice! I love using millet and sorghum currently. I might need to see about getting some fonio!

[@liztarry507]

SO EXCITED.

[@KoandgoRu]

One biggest question that i get asked is are you Bruce Willis son?

[@nunyabeeswax3936]

Come to sumner Countystores please

[@vickiewanjiru1193]

I have been working in the brewing sector ever since I graduated from Campus..would like to explore other places in the world and perhaps even work with you guys(if an opportunity comes up). I just love the brewing science and the craft 🍻 Good work guys.

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

Subbed!

Thought this was boxing trainer Adam Booth

[@paintnamer6403]

People heavy? Oh you have three locations, and open 7 days a week, never mind.

[@jodyyonts]

Took one minute and fourty seconds to get sick of the rap music.

[@ryanbruchey9669]

Scrubscribed.

[@georgepennington9833]

strong stuff

[@mikeberger1688]

CRAPHT beer. Here in the states you can't buy quality European beers anymore when you go to a pub. Just local shit from some small company with a nice label for their bottle. For the most part, it's mostly SHIT and what these small scale brewers end up realizing is that you have more consistency and BETTER quality when you make larger quantities. I'll take the brewers that have perfected their art over hundreds of years.

[@1mctous]

Most of the giants started small. Would you have passed them by because they hadn't "made it" yet?

[@realclassicman]

going ban fucked

[@modgrip805]

It does fucking suck! Luckily I'm just head of production so live my boss' pain vicariously, the poor bastard.
