So what did you do this Labor Day weekend?

Watch some football? Drink lots of (craft) beer? Barbecue?

How about opening up a brewery?

That’s what the folks at Huntsville’s Green Bus Brewing did. Well, OK. Technically, they opened on Thursday after the City of Huntsville gave them the OK. They are now one of the only nanobreweries in the state.

From WHNT:

The Green Bus, fittingly, started in Jason Sledd’s garage.  “I gradually got into the hobby thinking it’d be something fun to do on the side and then it just blew up. I went all in and started to develop my own recipes,” he says.

Jason’s other obsession was the inspiration for the name.  “Been a Volkswagen fan longer than I’ve been a beer fan. So over the years I’ve had several [VW’s]but my current one is a 1972 green bus,” says Sledd.

Green Bus will have their official opening party on Oct. 1. Until then, according to founder Jason Sledd, their hours of operations will vary, so you may want to call ahead before making the trip.
