Mr. Brews: Craft Beer Conversations with Marty & Mindy ft. The Foamy Heads | Episode 124

What happens when a corporate career, a love for craft beer, and a desire to give back to the community all collide? You get Mr. Brews Taphouse in Smyrna & Murfreesboro.In this collab episode with Mitch & Rich of The Foamy Heads, we sit down with Marty & Mindy Bell, the family behind Mr. Brews, to talk about how they built a family-friendly restaurant with 30+ rotating taps, why they chose Tennessee for expansion, and what it really takes to run a craft beer-focused business.From Great Lakes Brewing Co. hitting Tennessee to rare pours like Bourbon County variants on draft, we get into how Marty selects beers , plus the balance between craft beer nerd culture and running a full restaurant.We also dive into the transition from corporate life to owning a taphouse, building out locations from the ground up, why Rutherford County was underserved for craft beer, and running a true family business.Events, tap takeovers, keeping the beer list fresh, bringing unique, hard-to-find beers to local drinkers, and the love/hate relationship with Untappd, are other topics we talk about during this episode.We had a great time talking to Marty and Mindi and learned a lot about their journey to Mr. Brews.We hope you enjoy the episode and even more-so, we hope you go visit them at either or both of their locations.Additionally, after our conversation with Marty and Mindi ended, we had a couple of friends join us on the mics, who were already in the building.Shane and Ryan joined us for to share some beers, talk a little beer and just hand out for a bit - for some additional bonus content.Cheers!
