This resolution honors TailGate Brewery, a craft beer brewery founded by Wes Keegan, on the occasion of its tenth anniversary in Nashville. The resolution highlights the brewery's remarkable growth from a one-man operation in 2014 to a business with 250 team members and nine breweries across Tennessee by 2024. It specifically recognizes the company's expansion, starting with its seven-acre headquarters in West Nashville in February 2015 and subsequently opening locations in Music Row, East Nashville, Nashville International Airport, Germantown, Hendersonville, Chattanooga, South Nashville, and Murfreesboro. The resolution emphasizes the brewery's commitment to producing creative beers, serving delicious pizza, and providing friendly customer service. It also praises owner Wes Keegan for his people-centered business model, particularly noting the company's achievement of paying 100 percent of health-care benefits for all employees in July 2022, which was inspired by Keegan's personal experience with his father's lack of healthcare. The resolution ultimately commends TailGate Brewery as an icon in Nashville and celebrates its significant growth and success over the past decade.
