Southern Grist Brewing Company

Kevin Antoon, Jamie Lee, and Jared Welch met in the corporate world. Their weekends spent homebrewing quickly evolved when they shed their business attire and decided to go all in–opening a 430 square foot brewery in East Nashville with a modest seating area. The doors opened in February of 2016 staffed by the three founders and their wives.Year one was a roller coaster as we dialed in the brewing system, built out our taproom, and simply tried to keep up with growing demand. Within a year, we started looking for a larger space to brew and serve our beer.On our Two Year Anniversary, we opened our second taproom and 9,900 square foot production space in The Nations neighborhood, allowing for a massive production increase in just two years.Today, with over 20 employees on our team, and over 600 unique beers in our portfolio, the future is bound to be just as exciting as the past. Buckle up!
