Butchertown Brewing will be opening the doors to their tap room to the public starting Saturday, August 7th. Every Saturday, Butchertown Brewing’s tap room will be open from 4:00 – 9:00 PM. This marks a milestone for our resident brewer. When asked about opening his tap room, Andy Cobb said, “I had always planned on opening the taproom. I wanted to wait until I had built up some inventory and had some help to manage the bar.”
When Butchertown Brewing first opened, all sales were online only and tasting sessions were scheduled in advance; no in-person ordering or walk-ins. In opening the tap room, the public will be able to make to-go purchases in person or swing by the brewery and get a pour from one of their three taps.
In addition to the opening, Andy has been working closely with other Mellwood tenants on collaborative projects. Fans of Butchertown Brewing and Danny Mac’s Pizza may have seen social media posts announcing the release of Danny Mac’s IPA. When asked about this collaboration, Andy stated, “I asked him if he’d like to sell my beer. When he thought about it, he said ‘What about doing a branded beer?’ I loved the idea, so I let him try my IPA and he really liked it. We’re doing a small release at his pizzeria to see how it goes.” Andy is also collaborating with Dead Sled Leather on coasters, with a possible beer collaboration in the works.
Beyond working with Mellwood tenants, Butchertown Brewing is or will be collaborating with other brewers and beer purveyors, including Gordon Beirsch, Pearl Street Taphouse, Segio’s World of Beer, Chimera Brewing, and Our Lady of Perpetual Hops. Be sure to keep an eye out for Butchertown Brewing in this year’s Louisville Ale Trail. Lastly, Butchertown Brewing will have an official grand opening in the Pigment Gallery sometime later this fall.
