What New Heights Brewing Co. does

New Heights Brewing Co. is a small, founder-owned craft brewery based in Nashville, Tennessee, operating from a single location at 928 Rep John Lewis Way South. The company produces a portfolio of beers including West Coast IPAs, hazy IPAs, imperial stouts, blonde and cream ales, and Mexican-style lagers, with five flagship brands and a rotating selection of seasonal and experimental beers served across 23 taps at its taproom. Brewing is led by Owner/Head Brewer Jeff Fountain, who brought experience from San Diego's Mission Brewery, alongside a second Head Brewer and a small brew crew.

Beyond brewing, the company runs a multi-revenue-stream business that combines direct-to-consumer taproom sales (operating seven days a week), wholesale distribution to bars, restaurants, and retailers across the state of Tennessee with placement at Nashville International Airport, and venue rentals for private events, weddings, corporate parties, and photoshoots. The physical space is differentiated by two outdoor stages and one indoor stage, which the brewery leverages for weekly live music programming, open jam sessions, and pre-party/shakedown street events, often paired with food truck partnerships. Marketing is community-led, relying on organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter), a monthly email newsletter, and in-person events rather than paid acquisition, and the company has no external institutional investors or parent entity.
