About Fat Bottom Brewing Company:

"Fat Bottom Brewing Company opened its doors in August of 2012, and as East Nashville's first brewery, it quickly became a neighborhood favorite. The recipes were developed from Ben Bredesen's time as a homebrewer and scaled up to fit the newly installed 15 barrel brewhouse. As the city of Nashville grew, so did the brewery. It quickly became apparent that Bredesen couldn't do it all: the brewing, sales, and business management by himself. Drew Yeager, a master brewer from UC Davis and fresh off a stint at Dogfish head was hired to take over the brewing operation, leaving Ben to focus on continuing to grow the business.

New styles were introduced, distribution increased, and after packaging the beer into cans, it was time to start looking for a larger facility. Bredesen purchased an acre and a half of land at 800 44th Avenue North, and went to work on the future of his company. Shortly after celebrating 4 years of business, the move from the East side to the West side began. From roughly 5000 square feet, to a brand new, state of the art, 33,000 square foot facility. When asked what the vision for the project, Ben answered with one word, "Quality". This wasn't about time or money, it's a commitment to making the beer the best it can be."
