Coming Soon from New Albanian
Mar 29, 2012
David Pierce of New Albanian Brewing Co. sent me a note earlier about their new beer, a Blue Agave Nectar Spiced Ale. Wha? Sounds interesting for sure. Due out April 18th. The label (which is beautiful, of course) says this fine beer uses Belgian yeast and Saison spicing; black pepper and blue agave and lemongrass. What, no kitchen sink? We’ll be sure and...

Louisville Beer Forum
Oct 9, 2011
My friend, John Wurth, first launched LouisvilleBeer.com in 2008 as an online beer forum. It didn’t catch on and spammers quickly took over. John took the site down.
