Louisville, KY – – Local Tailspin Ale Fest Organizers return once again to present the Best Beer Fest of the Season: Tailpsin Ale Fest. It’s set for February 18, 2017 at Bowman Field in the WWII Era Hangar at Louisville Executive Aviation.
Over 70 Breweries and a special Kentucky Heritage section of Kentucky brews will be available for consumption. “Mug” it up at Magnolia Photo Booth and “tap” into tunes provided by LIVE entertainment. View vintage airplanes on display with pin-up girls & fly boys and dine large with some of Louisville’s finest food trucks.
With over 200 beers available onsite, make sure to sample some great all American craft brews from our featured breweries: Terrapin Brewing Company, Rhinegeist Brewery, Tin Man Brewing Company, New Belgium Brewing, and Sweetwater Brewing. Heading up the Kentucky Heritage section is the West Sixth Brewing and Falls City Beer.
“We are excited for Tailspin’s fourth anniversary at the historic Bowman Field, bringing our craft beer celebration to the forefront of Louisville’s social scene once again,” said Tisha Gainey, the event co-creator and organizer. “It is rewarding to continue our partnership with Liquor Barn and expand on the fundraising efforts for Dare to Care Food Bank. We are also excited that our event continues to create new opportunities for furthering our fundraising with partners like Middleton Reutlinger, a local law firm that has a division specialized in working with many Kentucky Craft Breweries. Tailspin also provides a platform to introduce the latest and greatest from the world of craft beer to Louisville. We love that Tailspin Ale Fest not only benefits our local charity, but is also a destination festival, bringing in guests from more than 16 states. Look for all your favorite highlights and beers at the event – and a few surprises as well – as we strive to make Tailspin better every year.”
