Half Batch Brewing
Can you turn a dream into a brewery? Our founder, Nate Newton, did. An idea born while homebrewing in a college apartment’s kitchen blossomed over twenty years later into Half Batch Brewing.
Dedicated to producing world-class beers, Half Batch distributes those brews throughout middle Tennessee from our brewery and public room in Hendersonville, TN. A cold, fresh Half Batch is always the right choice, whether you are out celebrating or picking up something to take home. Want to hang out? Come pass some time with us in our taproom, just 20 minutes north of downtown Nashville.

Half Batch Brewing has its roots in the kitchen of a college apartment in Baton Rouge. That’s where, in 1995, I brewed my first beer. Of course, I immediately wanted to do it for a living, but it was a long road from that first batch of homebrew to opening the doors to the Half Batch Brewing public room.
I graduated from college with a history degree and set about trying to get a job in the beer industry. I had a few close calls, but eventually I had to put the dream of brewing beer for a living on hold. A lot of life happened in those intervening twenty-plus years, but the dream of opening a brewery was always there in the back of my mind.
Then one day in 2017, the dream became real. I opened Half Batch Brewing to share with people the thing that I love – beer. My goal is for Half Batch Brewing to always produce the best beer we can possibly brew. Every time. Hence the motto “Half Batch Brewing – Never Half-Ass”. I hope all of you enjoy our creations.
