FAQ | Nailer's Brewing Co.

How can my bourbon be over 125 or under 80 proof and still called bourbon?

1. If bourbon is labeled as a bourbon and is higher than 125 proof or under 80 proof then it doesn't meet the requirements laid out by the TTB, Then it is in a SPECIALTY BOURBON Classification and can still use the name Bourbon. But its not a traditional Bourbon because something was added to the bourbon.

What is a brewery tasting room

A tasting room is a key component of many craft breweries and provides a unique and immersive experience for beer enthusiasts. Here are some primary features and elements that you will find in our tasting room: 1. Beer Sampling: The core activity in this tasting room is offering guests the opportunity to sample a variety of beers. This is often done through a "Flight" of Beer, which consists of smaller glasses (usually 5 ounces) of different beers. This allows you to taste a range of brews and discover your preferences. 2. On-Site Consumption: Guests can order pints of beer to enjoy on-site. This provides a comfortable environment for socializing, enjoying the beer. 3. Retail Sales: Our tasting room also allow guests to purchase beer to take home. This can include cans, growlers, or Howlers to be filled with the beer of your choice. NOTE: If you bring in a howler or growler we will fill them for you. 4. Owner Interaction: It's not uncommon for My wife and i to be present in the tasting room. Our presence allows for a personal touch, giving our guests the opportunity to engage with the people behind our brand.
