The folks who

brought it all together

The Kentucky Guild of Brewers is an organization
formed with the purpose of providing a unified
voice of Kentucky brewers to educate & promote
the craft brewing industry in the Bluegrass State.
LouisvilleBeer.com has been the
source for all things beer in Louisville,
Lexington and Southern Indiana
since 2011. Visit the site for
more brewery information,
news, podcasts, and
event listings.

Did you know that during the late 1800s and early
1900s, Louisville was a major southeastern brewing
hub, competing with the likes of Midwestern giants
Milwaukee and St. Louis? Its true.
In fact, back then, it was difficult to walk six blocks through
the city without coming across a brewery. It was all due to
an influx of German immigrants who saw to it that brewing
was a focal point of Louisvilles social and economic
culture. They brought with them German brewing traditions
- leading to the introduction of lager brewing here.
It was also during this brewing heyday that a beer style
native to Louisville was born: Kentucky Common. Kentucky

Common was a popular style of ale brewed only in and

around Louisville. The common meant low alcohol, and
it was consumed fresh, out of the tap, just like cream
ale. This style of beer mostly died out in Louisville during
Prohibition. Today one local brewery, New Albanian
Brewing Company, has revived this process and produces
a single Kentucky Common beer.
A century later, Louisvilles brewing
scene is again rising, with
new breweries opening
each year and
existing breweries
raising the bar
ever higher.
