This is an interesting, unique little store. It is easy to find but there is only street parking that I'm aware of. Once you're inside, most of the brews there are stacked on bookshelves; it looks like a library almost! They have a very good selection of microbrews and imports, but the prices are somewhat higher than you'd find at larger retailers. That's OK, though, it's nice to support the 'little guy' every once in awhile. They were a friendly staff, although not overly attentive (it took awhile to get someone's attention but I wasn't in a hurry or anything)... One cool thing about the place is that they do have 6 or so rotating taps with great brews you can try in the store. All in all, a good resource for the town. It's a relaxing place to go browse for some good beer.

After recently stumbling upon this place, I'm please to say it is a quaint, inviting watering hole.
The selection, while not extensive, is very impressive. And the staff is attentive, informative, and very friendly.
They also have a nice beer garden in the back, where you can kick back and enjoy your "pint of the day".

This place has whatever is in town at the moment, but also an excellent foreign selection, especially sours. Always good recommendations and while a limited amount of taps, always good stuff. They also own Holy Grale and I presume whenever the big dogs come around(Cantillon, Framboos, etc.) they throw a lot to the Grale (on premise consumption and higher price), all in all a good problem to have. This should be at the top of everyone's list when visiting Louisville.

This is what a beer store should be. Great staff, great beer, great location. I enjoy that the staff are just as knowledgeable as they are friendly and helpful so I'm almost always sure to get a delicious beer that I may have never known existed. If you love beer and are in Louisville, you want to go here.

This place rocks! killer selection of brews I cannot get in Jersey. The staff was top notch and knowledgeable. I will absolutely visit this place again. I can't stress enough the cool staff when I was there in October 2014. Recommended!

Stopped in while in town. Selection was great, but prices were really high. For example, a bottle that I got in NYC for $6.99 was $8.99 here. Could be distributor mark up, but $2 seems like a lot on a bottle under $10. Prices kept me from buying much.

Nice bottle shop with lots to choose from. Plenty of great American craft and a very nice import section. Cans all seem to be in the cooler. Tap selection was nothing special on my visit. Service was about nonexistent and they were out of carriers. Food is snacks only and I did not try any. I don't think there are any real bargains here but prices seemed about normal for a mostly singles-only shop.

LBS set a new standard in louisville for a bottle shop. They have been creative in event line-ups and tastings, and they have brought awesome brewers into the area.
Cheese and crackers (and maybe nuts?) are the only food go speak of, but it's locally made and also good.
The patio Is a nice place to go enjoy some brews with friends... Includes a fire pit.
It's the only place in town where you'll be able to find many European brews, but they are a bit pricey.

I thought this place was going to be the typical craft beer spot, but man it wasn't what i expected. You want to pop a top the moment you walk in. Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable, patrons were friendly and the beer selection was ridiculous. If you ever make it to KY, I suggest you stop by and have a brew and perhaps walk away with a bag full as well. Nice Place.
