Keg Liquors Fest of Ale Recap...all I can say is YUM! [Lville Beer]
This past Saturday I attended the Keg Liquors Fest of Ale in Clarksville, IN and aside from the insufferable heat (which I'm still not going to complain about because it's better than ice & snow) it was a great day. With a seemingly almost endless list of breweries and brews it's hard to give enough credit to Keg Liquors for organizing this event to benefit the Crusade for Children. With approximately 40 breweries pouring samples for around 150 beers everyone was bo
My visit with the Saison from BBC, an afternoon well spent [Food and Dining]
I recently dropped in on my good friends at the Bluegrass Brewing Company at 636 East Main Street to say hello and enjoy a pint of their semi-annual seasonal selection, farm house style Saison. According to beeradvocate.com, a Saison is a sturdy ale that was traditionally brewed during the winter months, to be consumed throughout the summer. According the BBC's tasting notes their Saison boasts aromas of citrus esters and bready malt, and has a full body dominated early by complex malt that will fade into tangy citrus note
New2Lou 2nd Wednesday Social is tonight at Bluegrass Brewing Company's new downtown location [Louisville newbie]
New2Lou is hosting their monthly 2nd Wednesday Social tonight from 5:30pm-8:00pm at Bluegrass Brewing Company (BBC), 300 West Main St. in downtown Louisville. BBC has a new location across from the arena. Come try the locally brewed beer and meet some new people. The group will be located on the lower level in the back corner (all good things happen in back corners!).
The Big Taste means beer, wine and a good cause [St. Matthews]
If you are like me – which may be a bit of a leap to assume – you probably spend your Friday nights (after the kids are in bed, of course…) with a few buddies in your living room, sharing 6-packs and debating which one has the most “hops,” “dark flavor,” “refreshment value” and other intrinsic things that are equally as pretentious and ridiculous.
So why not turn that annoying pre-occupation into some community good?
Local restaurants where kids eat free (or pretty darn close) [Family and parenting]
Now that Jack is eating us out of house and home, my husband and I have been searching for good, local restaurants that offer free kids menus. Here is a list I've gathered, some from my own experience and some from word of mouth. Please note- it's always best to call in advance to make sure that these offers still stand.
Bearno's: Their twitter feed says kids eat free on Monday and Tuesday nights. The Bearno's in the Highlands has kids eat free nights on Wednesdays.
Brownings (at Slugger Field): Kids eat free on Mondays. I've never even been to this restaurant.
Ladies Beer Club at Louisville Beer Store [NuLu]
The name "Ladies Beer Club" made me think of women in white gloves, eating finger sandwiches and playing bridge. Of course the name implies that the women are drinking pints of beer instead of little cups of tea, but I still like that the name makes me think of old-fashioned ladies who lunch.
F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hop, taking place this Friday, to feature beer from Bluegrass Brewing Company [Crescent Hill]
I live right off Frankfort Avenue and enjoy attending the monthly F.A.T. Friday Trolley Hops, when free trolleys haul my lazy ass up and down the street to various restaurants, shops and art galleries. This Friday, June 25, from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., should be especially fun because the event is called "BBC Freedom Hop," a pre-July Fourth celebration that has Bluegrass Brewing Company serving up its American Pale Ale at area restaurants. BBC beer samplings? An added bonus.
Louisville Geek Dinner this Thursday [Downtown]
In honor of Geek Pride Day, today's Internet Holiday Du Jour, I'm here to tell you about a real life opportunity for Louisville Geeks to meet and mingle in person.
Like Shakespeare, clean subways, and beans on toast, Geek Dinners first took off in London. So many people in close proximity communicated daily via social media. Gosh, wouldn't it be nice if the twitterati could actually meet face to face?
You can now find regular Geek Dinners in Seattle, Toronto, Sydney, and, thanks to Ben and Erika Thomas, right here in Louisville.
