LOU’S BREWS
I
n the late 19th and early 20th centuries, German immigrants made Louisville one of the country’s major brewing hubs. The last decade has seen a resurgence in the city’s beer culture. With 21 breweries, a tasty craft beer scene and a host of beer-centric events and festivals, it’s no surprise that VinePair named Louisville among “The World’s Top 10 Beer Destinations.” If you’re looking for a way to experience Louisville’s beer scene, book a tour with Derby City Brew (derbycitybrewtours.com) or Louisville Brew Bus (lousbrewbus. com), plan a visit to one of the city’s many beer festivals or events or chart your own course by sampling some of these featured beers from each of the city’s breweries.
