Update, October 2026: Half Batch Brewing has moved to 154 Bonita Pkwy. in Hendersonville and is now open every day, with food from Cheeky Pete’s Tavern next door. The location and hours below are out of date, so check with Half Batch for current hours before you go.
Hendersonville’s first craft brewery, Half Batch Brewing, was a long time in the making for owner Nathan Newton, who started experimenting with his own brews back in 1995 during his college days. The move from home brewer to professional brewer manifested throughout the years and eventually Half Batch Brewing was born in Hendersonville.
Not only can Half Batch’s brews be found in Tennessee stores, but visitors can stop by the Half Batch Brewing Public Tasting Room to sip on unique beers made right here in Sumner County! Half Batch Brewing also hosts awesome events like trivia and other fun activities!
My goal is to brew the best beer I can possibly brew. Every time. Hence the motto “Half Batch Brewing – Never Half Ass.”
Nate S. Newton
Owner and Founder – Half Batch Brewing
