Brandon Bingman is the owner of Middle Ground Brewing Company in Murfreesboro, TN and we got to sit down with him at his brewery, along with our homies Rich and Mitch of The Foamy Heads to talk about all things Middle Ground.

In this episode we talk to Brandon about his history in the beer business - including working at Yazoo. Why he chose Murfreesboro to put his brewery, how much he likes making IPA's and why they're important to a brewery.

Are IBU's a thing? Will they make a PB&J beer? How do they feel about mixing beer?

Untappd comes up (as it usually does), we also talk about how Middle Ground views beer as community and their taproom reflects that in their layout, their mug club memberships, and what 2026 holds for them.

Additionally, we try multiple of Middle Ground's beers throughout the episode including a Helles, a Stout, an IPA, and a cherry cordial. Mitch even shares his clarified milk punch that he made, and it was delicious.

We always love doing these in-person interviews with The Foamy Heads, and Middle Ground Brewing Company is another example of that with their great space.

We thank Brandon for hosting us, sitting down with us for so long, sharing his story and beer with us and for just being cool.

We hope you enjoy the episode and go visit Middle Ground Brewing Company in Murfreesboro, TN.

Cheers!

Stoke Haus Brewing and Barbecue is fairly new to the brewery scene in Nashville. Opened in August of 2025. We paid a visit early on a Sunday morning to talk with Chad Mueller and Mike Morbitzer. Both are Co-Owners.

This is our second podcast episode with these guys. We had them on before when both were brewing the beer at Tennfold Brewery in Donelson, TN.

Chad sat down with us during the majority of the interview to talk about how long him and Mike have been thinking about opening up a brewery together. The detailed planning of what needed to be done to hit the ground running.

What craft beer styles can you expect? Chad has the answers. He's the brains behind brewing it all. However, craft beer isn't the only option on the menu. They have branched out to make other drinks available.

If you visit Stoke Haus Brewing and Barbecue, come hungry! Mike Morbitzer will be in the food truck outside serving up some of the most delicious eats you will find anywhere in Nashville! Scott and Steve can attest to this first hand.

Cheers!

Mayday Brewery was the OG brewery in Murfreesboro, TN and the man at the helm was Ozzy Nelson!

Along with our good pals, The Foamy Heads, we get to talk to Ozzy in this collab episode, all about Mayday.

We discuss the history, the beer, the good times, the famous tours he would give, the space itself and the reason he got out of the brewery business.

We also talk to him about his new ventures, which include hosting SINGO and drawing caricatures, all while still doing his day job (which he has always had).

Ozzy is an extremely interesting guy, who is also colorful, knowledgeable, funny, and very charismatic.

We all have Ozzy and Mayday stories, and we know Ozzy has touched and helped many people in the beer industry, and he will always be beer royalty to us.

Crack open a cold one and sit back and let Ozzy, Mitch, Rich, Steve and Scott take you on a little beer journey.

Cheers!

Steve & Scott
