Hey Fellow Climbers,

I am starting a new Louisville nanobrewery called "LouBrew" that will create brews with a hand-crafted, single barrel spirit. We will offer a continually rotating variety of unique recipes to satisfy every beer connoisseur's appetite. I am getting started with a unique fundraising tool called Kickstarter, where people can pledge to help Kickstart the project, support a new local brewery, and receive some great incentives too!

So if you are interested, check out:

Kickstarter for more info.

Thank you!
Jeremy

p.s. Sorry for the blatant promotion, but I feel climbers like beer, so I'm spreading the word.

gotta ask cause I am old but do like beer...what is a nano brewery versus a micro brewery? just the latest "cool" phrase?

They'll be opening up a pico-brewery pretty soon at this rate...

Good luck jrathfon! There's no doubt the beer will be off the chain.

Off the rope for sure! When will it be open if it does happen?

Pigsteak: A nano is community defined as brewers brewing on a system of about 3-4 barrels or less. And there are actually people already calling themselves "pico" breweries, generally these are people commercially brewing around 10 gallons per batch. I'm starting on a single barrel system, which is 31 gallons, or 2 normal kegs, or 6 pony "sixtel" kegs.

Here is the most up to date list of nanos:

They are spreading like wildfire!

The plan is to open up this fall, hopefully October maybe November, this really all depends on building and occupancy permits as well as ABC licensing, they are all big variables.

If you'd like to see a new craft brewer in town, please lend me any support you can muster: Kickstarter
