How cool is this? Louisville was featured in a question on 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'. They asked which U.S. city displays giant portraits on its buildings to honor hometown heroes. It’s awesome to see our city’s love for great Louisvillians recognized on national TV!

Hey, UofL Students! Get to know your neighborhood!

Each of these photographs depict local businesses in the Old Louisville neighborhood, within walking distance of UofL's Belknap campus. While these photographs were taken in 1974 as part of a survey for the historical designation of Louisville Landmarks, many of these establishments still remain, and most of the buildings are overwhelmingly unchanged. Can you recognize any these locations?

Friends,

We wanted to send everyone an update. So many people have been reaching out to us every day, both via our socials and when they see any of us out in the community. The sheer volume of people who let us know how excited they are to drink our beer again brings us such joy!

The short update is: no, we are not able to sell our beer again, yet. We thank you all so much for supporting the brewery during our pivot to an NA space, and we could not have made it this far without all of you. YOU are the reason we are in this business! Be that as it may, it is not currently practical to stay open the way we have been right now.

For the time being, we are limiting open hours to those that support our Run Club: Sundays from 2-5pm and Thursdays from 6-8pm. If you need a space for a community/group event, please reach to [email protected] and we will do our best to accommodate.

Sadly, we’re still fighting through some licensing issues. While we navigate the administrative hurdles of our State licensure (we have Metro and Federal), we will focus on making improvements to the brewery rather than trying to remain open on our historic schedule.

As always, we love hearing from you! We appreciate all of the support and patience as we work to resolve this. We can’t wait to see all of our neighbors again in the near future. In the meantime, please come visit us during these Thursday and Sunday times. We'd be happy to see you 🥰

Prost!

Smith, Victoria, David, Steven, Jenn, and Jon

Those darn floors need one more coat! Unfortunately we will not be able to serve you a Lavender Haze or a Smoke Show this evening or tomorrow. Here's hoping we can get back to Run Club on Sunday!

Shout out to Colleen and Jeff, who are SO adorable in this photo taken at the brewery. We love y'all and hope to see you in our establishment again soon!
