The taproom

A delightful spot for Franklin to kick back and have a pint.

We’re bringing the taproom back to life with the warmth of a neighborhood favorite and the curiosity of a working brewery.

The beer and the room will carry plenty of Monkey Mind personality: relaxed, welcoming, a little unexpected, and built for good conversation. Come meet a friend, settle in after the day, and enjoy a pint made with intent.

The reopening date, opening hours, and first tap list will be announced soon. Follow us on Instagram for construction updates, first pours, and opening news.

The next chapter

Fourteen years.
Four chapters.
One new home.

Fourteen years ago, I came to Williamson County to lead the brewery at Cool Springs Brewery. From there, I created Mantra Artisan Ales, Steel Barrel Brewing Company, and Curio Brew Company.

Now I’m bringing those chapters together as Monkey Mind Brewing and Blending.

For the past five years, my work has taken me far beyond traditional brewing. I’ve been developing functional beverages, RTDs, and recipes for national brands. Now I’m bringing everything I’ve learned back home to Franklin.

Monkey Mind will carry echoes of every stop along the way, but this is not about recreating the past. It is the culmination of everything I’ve brewed, blended, built, and learned as your local brewmaster.

I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on.
