Fellas,

I am new here and the reason I registered is to see if I could get hooked up with somebody who might want to start a brewery in my restaurant. I have the space for a small setup which I believe would be enough for the initial operation. What I need is the person/s to do it. Since the 4 year old restaurant already has traffic it becomes a great outlet to some fine crafted beer. Can anyone get me to the right people?
The restaurant is a up scale pizza/italian in a upper scale area of Nashville TN.
Thanks and this seems to be the better of the forums I have seen.

Hey Alex,

Welcome to the forum. While I'd love to say we can help, I think my best advice is to send you to http://probrewer.com/

We certainly would love for you to stick around here as well, but probrewer focuses specifically on what you are looking for, I'd rather point you there so hopefully you can move forward. Many professional brewers go to that forum and there's lots of job listings as well. Let us know how it works out though, we'd love to here about the progress you make.

Cheers,

Devon

I'm with Devon. I'd definitely check out Probrewer.com. It's a forum specifically for beer industry professionals. Just realize that licensing and all that is quite a hastle. Not to mention, you usually have to get approval to have a brewery in your zoned area. And you have to buy equipment. And pay a brewer. And pay for licensing (getting and paying for are two different hastles). And get federal label approval. Not to discourage you, but we're talking possible a few $100k here. But the people on Probrewer.com can help more. They're great people! Very helpful. And you have a location with traffic, so you're already way ahead of most people with this dream.

Thank you guys for directing me. I will check them out as well.
Cheers

No worries, best of luck with the brewpub.

Hey Alex,
If you are still looking for someone, we should talk. I just moved back to Nashville, and was scanning to see if anyone needed brewing help.
