    I'll be in town for Derby starting tomorrow. Are there any beer related events I should be aware of? I'll most likely try to make my way to Holy Grale, Sergio's, and a couple other places. Just wondering if there is anything in particular going on that I wouldn't want to miss.

    Typically most places do not do Derby specific events. Its busy enough that there really is no need to do a specific event to draw people in. The Boombozz Highlands Taproom is doing a Kegs and Eggs on Friday morning starting at 9:00 AM with a really good lineup. If you are on Facebook, here is their page: https://www.facebook.com/boombozzhighlands.taphouse?fref=ts

    Make sure you hit Louisville Beer Store and Against the Grain while you're at it.

    Hit up holy grale to eat, and old Town for purchases.

    Thanks John. I'm staying through Monday so I've got a little flexibility and was planning to go to against the grain as well.

    This afternoon Liquor Barn in Springhurst (east end of town) is having a ton of Barrel-Aged beers on draft. Don't have the list in front of me, but there will be some heavy hitters to sample (including 2013 BCBS). If you have the time, i'd try and hit that up. Starts at 5pm.

    Scott, you're not coming to Nashville for Funk Fest, are you? It's Sunday afternoon 2-6. Sold out, but there's probably a ticket looking for a new home somewhere...

    I don't think I'll make it. I've been bumming of the rental car in the group. I did find a nice little Kentucky shelf turd though.

    Omg you're at Sergio's aren't you? Just be sure to check the prices and bottle dates before buying anything.

    Correct, and thanks for the heads up. Being cash only kept my purchases in check.
