The Spring 2023 issue of Food & Dining Magazine is now available in all the familiar places: Louisville area eateries and food shops, newsstands and online.
Louisville area brewery news items have been coming so fast the past two weeks that my vintage pair of Crane brand scissors, little tub of drawer-conditioned Elmer’s and increasingly arthritic fingers can barely keep up with the ol’ cut and paste routine.
Consequently, I’ve declared it’s time for a Two-Fer, with a Hip Hops column both Tuesday and Wednesday this week.
Here are ten local brewing news snippets with links, listed alphabetically. They’re followed by the wonderful beer writer Jeff Alworth’s most recent blog post, which considers the many unexpected changes that are affecting the beer biz in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Against the Grain: The 2nd annual Burgoo Bash Pro-Am cook-off is this Saturday, March 18, at AtG’s Slugger Field location (3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.), with a portion of the proceeds going to APRON Inc. As an added incentive, your humble correspondent will be among the judges.
Atrium Brewing: Opening day for Atrium’s taproom at Norton Commons (11205 River Beauty Loop) is Friday, March 17. Haley Cawthon has the story at Louisville Business First.

Goodwood Brewing: The brewery’s sixth on premise location is coming to Bowling Green, Kentucky later this year (courtesy of Michael Ridgeway at News 40).
Gravely Brewing: You can stop missing the Mayans. The long-awaited new food truck occupant at Gravely is Lil’ Toasty’s, a spinoff of Toasty’s Tavern, specializing in burgers (LBF’s Laurel Deppen reports).
Kyros Brewing: According to LBF’s Michael L. Jones, there’ll be a new brewery in Portland at 2425 Portland Avenue. Kyros, which has admirably managed to fly under the radar thus far, will operate primarily as a weekend beer garden with very limited indoor space, and also intends to be family-friendly (as the owners all have young children).
Monnik Beer Company: On Monday, March 20 at 11:00 a.m. Schnitzelburg’s oldest brewery (1036 E. Burnett) will celebrate Scott Hand Day with a toast to the late, great brewmaster, plus special barrel-aged Barleywine releases.
