044 - Josiah Trandahl, Owner and Head Brewer for Big Trouble Brewing Company

The Foamy Heads

We were fortunate enough to visit a new brewery in Gallatin, TN, and to see behind the scenes where the magic happens! Josiah Trandahl is a wonderful host and is extremely welcoming to everyone. We get a full flight of every beer offering and we get to try the seltzer that he brews as well. (Psst, it's amazing!) The whole front of the house has 80s memorabilia from the bar and all the way to the walls. Posters that were rare to see in the US are framed and viewable in the main dining area. Vinyl/VHS/Magazine/Comics and more 80s misc create the surface of what you drink over at the bar. You can spend a good amount of time taking it all in. The building has a super rad and colorful painted wall that you CAN'T-MISS when you drive by it. Local artists have claimed two walls, one exterior and one interior to amplify the 80s era in both graphic and movie themes.

The beer selections are a little limited at the moment as he expands his taps and continues brewing. However, for every single beer we had, we wanted to get an additional pour. (Spoiler, we did just that after recording and ordered some food as well.) The line-up is incredible with his own couple of twists for the styles. The names for the beers are great to read too. You know there's some inspiration behind every release and if I were you, I'd be on the lookout for every drop.

Big Trouble Brewing - A great space to hang with your family and order some food and drinks at. The atmosphere is bright, inviting, and eclectic for all this 80s. Check them out in Gallatin, TN since they are now open!
