    Against the Grain Brewery

    Louisville, Kentucky, United States

    Against the Grain Brewery is Louisville's first brewer-owned brewery and, like most worthwhile undertakings, the product of dissatisfaction with the status quo. We maintain a diverse array of beers covering all of the major categories of beer flavor while generating an endless stream of innovative new brews. Essentially, we are tired of the regular old 'stuff.' At Against the Grain, we have thrown the traditional mode of thought (producing the same thing over and over, I think they call it consistency) out the window and shifted our energy to producing amazing beer consistently, which can be any given style or twist on it. We hang our hats on quality and want people to know that there is a world of options out there....and we make them!!

    Fistful of Ale

    We grew out of the rapidly expanding Fistful of Tacos food truck and catering business. We wanted a place to send our lovely customers to drink great beer, have a good time, and enjoy our food somewhere other than the sidewalk. Our launch date was supposed to be March 27, but COVID hit and set us back to July. Despite concerns, we opened up with increased safety protocols and are now serving up incredible beer, pub fare, cocktails, and more!

    Floyd County Brewing Company

    New Albany, Indiana, United States

    The birth of Floyd County Brewing Company was a natural collision of passions, experiences and call of duty to our community. We decided to take the proverbial fork in the road and take the road less travelled, invest our life savings, and do our part to help revitalize New Albany to the river town mecca it once was before steamboats faded away. We love our hometown and want to share our culinary and craft brewing passions with the community in a way that is hopefully unique and unforgettable. We are like many, in that we come from small town farming and small business families. However, we have also been blessed to travel the globe developing an appreciation for all cultures with a keen fondness for European countries where Craft Beer became what we now know it to be. Sitting in a cozy pub on the shore of Ireland after getting engaged on the Cliffs of Moher hours earlier; we made the decision to focus on our passions and bring a touch of Old World Europe back home with us. You will see those influences in all that we do, from the Food, the Froth and the Follies.
