Bluegrass Brewing Company - Louisville, KY

Passing through Louisville KY, we stopped at the BBC brewpub in the St. Matthews area. This was the original location where all the magic started. Since then, they have expanded to three locations and distribute their brew all across the midwest. The brewpub is also home to a full restaraunt with a fair sized menu.

The mood of the place was relaxed. It seemed like a good place to unwind after work or to go party on the weekend. We walked in and took a seat at the magnificent bar and I ordered the sampler. All along the wall and above the bar are sticker laden mugs. Patrons, who wish to, can buy a mug and become part of the warthog club. They recieve specials on the brew.

The cheeky bartender poured me up seven samples of beer. As i took my tour through the brews I came to a realization. These folks know beer. They know good beer and how to make it. BBC makes a wide range of beers to satisfy ANY taste. From the American lager drinkers to true hopheads this place crafts it all.

I particularly enjoyed the nut brown and the american pale ale. I liked the "spuds" seasonal beer so much i had to buy a growler. It was a medium bodied beer with about 32ibu's and it tastes fantastic! I also purchaced some bourbon barrel stout that i found to be a great maranade and after dinner beer.

Food wise, I ordered the pretzel and beer cheese. The fare was grade A bar food. Two warm gooy pretzel sticks with a spicy beer cheese.  Katey ordered a warm tomato and mozzarella salad that she claimed to be delicious.  The BBC Brewpub gets my stamp of approval for its great beer and amazing fare. IFyou ever happen to be in louisville KY stop in for some grub and a few cold ones.
