Heading down to Louisville,KY from MA

?

Were you looking for places on the way to Louisville and the Bourbon Trail or places in Kentucky on the Bourbon trail or both?

 

As far as stores i would suggest Louisville Beer Store and the Liquor Barns (Mainly St. Matthews, Springhurst and Hurstbourne). As far as bar/breweries I would suggest the Holy Grale, Sergios (Take Cash looks Shady), Apocalypse and Against the Grain.

 

Louisville also has a great restaurant scene too.

 

If you are going to do the full trail you will go to Town Branch in Lexington, if so just a couple blocks away is Country Boy Brewing they are worth a stop. In Louisville you cant go wrong with Louisville beer store and Holy Grale (They have amazing food as well)

 

If you can't make it to Lexington, but you do make it to Frankfort for Buffalo Trace, check out Red Dot Liquors (the one in the strip mall nearest I-64, not the other, tiny location), you may find something you didn't expect to see on a shelf.

 

Blade & Bow bottles can still be found if you're hunting bourbon. At $176.99 a bottle, they didn't fly off shelves, LOL

 

For just beer shops, Liquor Barn in Springhurst and St Matthews, Louisville Beer Store downtown (for singles) and Keg Liquors across the river in Clarskville is the best you'll find.

 

I'd add Great Flood if you can get over there, a nice little brewery just year or two old. And I might check out Garage Bar while you're going to Beer Store.

 

Yeah Great Flood can have some nice stuff at times. It just turned 1 year old.

 

I am a little late to help AllDayAdams out but if anyone else goes to Louisville I would definitely go to Sergio's World Beers. That place is awesome. Huge selection and you can drink there or buy bottles to go.

 

Awesome. Don't feel bad I spent nearly $85 and it was hard getting out of there at that.

 

I'm heading to Louisville June 11th and was just looking at seekabrew and noticed Westbrook is listed as "limited". What's Louisville seeing as far as their brews these days?

 

I go to the store twice a week and I don't think I have ever seen their stuff. Might be in Northern KY.

 

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking Lexington was/is maybe getting some of their distribution. I'm heading to Cincy the same weekend, any suggestions are far as spots to hit in Northern KY on my way are greatly appreciated.

 

Not sure about Northern KY. Only place I've been to is the Hofbrauhaus.

Table beer is all that is around from Westbrook through 12% I believe.
