MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WMOT)  --  In 2009 Tennessee loosened laws governing the production of alcoholic beverages, leading to a dramatic rise in the number of breweries and distilleries operating in the state.

One of the newest companies is Mayday Brewery located in Murfreesboro. 

The operation is still small enough that owner Ozzie Nelson gives most of the tours. Nelson is clearly proud of his brewery and enjoys showing it off.

The Tennessee Human Rights Commission (THRC) will host a public Roundtable Discussion in Murfreesboro on Tuesday, May 7, 2013, at the Bradley Academy Museum, 415 S. Academy St., from 3-5 pm.
