CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Josh Romaker of Star Spangled Brewing Co. wants to take over Tennessee’s craft beer industry, and he plans to do so from his new downtown location.
The new 8,000 square-foot facility is on 614 North Spring St., next to the Humane Society of Montgomery County. It features a taproom and brewery space.
Romaker said that with the new Multi-Purpose Event Center on the way, it is a good time to start a business in downtown Clarksville.
The taproom, which will open summer of this year, will feature 10-12 taps featuring local craft beer in what Romaker described as a 1970s family camping aesthetic.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – While there were certainly a lot of important Clarksville stories in 2020, such as coronavirus, of course, the groundbreaking of the Multi-Purpose Event Center downtown and the effort to get disability benefits for K2 veterans from Fort Campbell, those weren’t necessarily the most high-interest stories of the year.
Of the more than 27 million page views on ClarksvilleNow.com in 2020, we expected a lot to come from crime stories and from COVID-19, but we were encouraged to also see stories about heroism and community needs rise to the top.
