Saturday October 2nd - Volksfest - BBC Taproom - Corner of Main & Clay
Closing event for the 1st Annual Louisville Craft Beer Week. There will be Live Music, a Homebrew Competition, A Bourbon Barrel-Aged Beer Tent, a Local Pizza "Throwdown" and, or course, lots and lots of great American Craft Beer from the Participating LCBW Breweries.
Now, remember, these are only the main events that we have been planning. Everyday there will be dozens of beer events all over the city. Keep an eye out for these events, and be sure to support all the local places doing great things for craft beer.
As we said above there will be a lot more events to choose from. It is our goal to cover the Louisville landscape in American Craft Beer. There will be tastings offered everyday throughout Louisville. There are specialty accounts like Flanagan's, Louisville Beer Store, ect that have put so much effort in not only providing better beer but taking upon themselves to educate people about craft beer that will offer several events throughout the week.
