We also talk about an app that lets craft beer drinkers rate and keep track of the beers they try, along with some of our latest beer and brewery experiences.

And because it’s the holidays, we step away from beer for a bit to discuss our all-time favorite Christmas movies and some of the classics we have to watch every year.

In Episode 5 of The Brewery Underground Podcast, Steve Sullivan and Scott Touron sit down with Grayson Miller of Crazy Gnome Brewery in Nashville, Tennessee.

Grayson shares the story of getting started in the craft beer business and the incredible challenges Crazy Gnome faced while preparing to open. In March 2020, their building was hit by the devastating Nashville tornado, and shortly afterward the COVID-19 pandemic created yet another obstacle for the new brewery.

We talk with Grayson about overcoming those challenges, building Crazy Gnome Brewery, where the brewery stands today, and what the future holds.

It’s another look at the people and stories behind Nashville’s craft beer community and the determination it takes to open and operate an independent brewery.

Steve and Scott also catch up on their latest Brewery Adventures—and experience pickle beer for the first time!
