Against the Grain Brewery & Smokehouse in Photographs
Name: Against the Grain Brewery & Smokehouse
Location: Louisville, Kentucky
Date of Visit: Fall 2013
Brief Description: Launched in the fall of 2011, Against The Grain Brewery & Smokehouse is located in the southeast corner of Louisville Slugger Field in a former train station that features beautifully ornate industrial architecture. Most noteworthy, the brewery/restaurant is Louisville’s first brewer-owned brewery and a prime example of revitalization efforts ongoing in Louisville.
Against the Grain Brewery is Louisville’s first brewer-owned brewery.
The restaurant features a 15 BBL brew house.
While the industrial architecture creates a spacious environment…
…weather permitting, the outdoor seating is more festive.
Notably, the brewery/restaurant features a regularly rotating line-up of craft beers.
Almost all the beers have unusual names, like this “Citra Wet Ass Down”…
and may also have unusual looks, like this bottle of “Kentucky Ryed Chiquen”.
Although the beers may sound or look whimsical, this place takes craft beer flavor, innovation and quality seriously.
Furthermore, they are serious about supporting the local community, including local artists.
Whether outdoors..
… or indoors
Visiting Against the Grain is a home run!
