Tennesse Brew Works – Our Company founders have conducted plenty of craft beer “market research” over many years. But the real genesis of Tennessee Brew Works began with the discovery that great beer can be brewed at home. What began as a kitchen hobby quickly transformed into a serious outdoor brewing system. During that evolution we discovered high demand for our beer amongst family, friends, and acquaintances, converting many into craft beer consumers. Their enthusiasm (and support) has inspired us to follow our passions and share our creations with a much larger audience, but remain focused on producing superior and distinctive beers.
