Broken Throne in Pikeville is closing:



Broken Throne Army:
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closing of our beloved brewery after nearly 6 wonderful years of serving this incredible community. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support and countless memories shared within our walls.
This and next week, we will be open at the taproom from Thursday - Saturday (5pm -10pm) or until our remaining food and beer is sold out. This period will not only allow us to reduce our inventory but also give us the opportunity to celebrate and reminisce about the good times we’ve had together.
While this decision was incredibly difficult, it comes after careful consideration of many factors. Our journey has been filled with amazing experiences, but like many small businesses, we have faced challenges that have led us to this point. Rather than focus on those obstacles, we want to cherish the positive moments and the incredible community that has made our brewery a special place.
Thank you for being part of our story. We invite you to join us in these final days to enjoy your favorite beers, savor our delicious food, and create a few more lasting memories. Your support and patronage have meant the world to us, and we are eternally grateful for every single one of you.
With heartfelt appreciation,
- The owners and management of Broken Throne Brewing

 

Fabled: BOTTLE RELEASE JULY 20 10:30 AM - We're releasing limited quantities of:
- - Imperial Stout with Coffee, Toffee, and Cocoa (collab with More Brewing Co.)
- - Imperial Stout with Cashew and Coconut (collab with Butchertown Brewing) -- - Mead with Blueberries and Maple Syrup

Butchertown BA stout release August 3 at noon:
"We took our latest version of Elements Of Time and dropped it in a Good Times Bourbon Barrel for 18 months. This beer is smooth as a baby rear-end, and thicc af, with light booze and notes of Caramel, Marshmallow and Dark Chocolate."

That weekend is also the Butchertown 3rd Anniversary, and there will be some cool out-of-market breweries on the guest taps.

 

Pivot Brewing in Lexington is looking for a new owner/brewer, per a FB post:


Some big changes are in store for Pivot!
We had a great response to our plan for community and employee ownership through crowdfunding, and that would have been a wonderful structure for Pivot. However, a few of us are moving on from the business, which is creating a hole in our management and production team that doesn’t fit with the crowdfunding model. We are therefore opening up the opportunity for a new owner and brewing team to take the reins of Pivot through a sale.
Thank you for supporting us over the years, and we are excited to see what a new team can offer you in the future!

I am. It's a perfect membership for people who don't live in Louisville (like me). Your membership fee goes entirely to bottles and swag. Four member releases per year, and each release you get the option of buying 1-2 more bottles at member price (currently 10 less than public price). I'm currently proxying for a trade partner in Iowa who snatched up a membership after I sent him a bottle from last year. You also get a hat/shirt for free, and if there are other special releases during the year, members get first dibs (2023 had the HORUS collab offered this way).

More of the releases will be collabs as time progresses. Personally, I'm excited for next year, because that's when the Revolution barleywine collab should be ready.

 

I've looked online, didn't see anything of note at Scout & Scholar or Atrium. Monnik might have something that interests you. https://www.monnikbeer.com/beers

I'm totally the wrong person to be asking about lagers, lol.

 

In an update to a previous post, Pivot did not find a buyer and will be closing at the end of August: https://fb.me/e/7KOdIP9uU

 

You might find the Monnik Schwarzbier or their Dark Rice Lager in cans, from what the whispers say
