Bluegrass Brewing Company
3929 Shelbyville Road -
Louisville
This neighborhood microbrewery is sure to please with ten in-house brews always on tap. Seasonal offerings are rotated in to mix things up a bit. Spacious and family friendly, with alfresco dining and live Bluegrass every Wednesday, the BBC is a good time for locals and visitors alike. Watch the big game on one of the many TVs, play darts, or even set up a tour of the brewery. Enjoy happy hour 3-7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and don't forget to sample some of the delicious pub grub.
Cumberland Brews
1576 Bardstown Road - LouisvilleThough Cumberland Brews is a bit small (let's say cozy), its popularity has grown in a major way since its opening a few years ago. Known mainly for its beer, which is brewed on premises, the food is nothing to scoff at. Think burgers, soups, salads. The menu may look a little pricey considering the place is a brewpub, but the quality is definitely worth a few extra bucks.
New Albanian Brewing Company
3312 Plaza Drive -
New Albany
The New Albanian Public House offers great homemade pizza and a large selection of imported and domestic beer. The atmosphere is friendly and cozy. The service can be a little slow at times. A popular hangout for college students and professors.
BBC on 4th
660 S. Fourth St. -
Louisville
A great downtown locale in the Theatre Square district of Fourth Street. The vibe here is great, especially when the patio is open during the warm weather months. It is a nice place for a casual lunch or dinner and has a very laid-back, chill atmosphere.
BBC 3rd and Main
300 W. Main St. - LouisvilleThe latest location of this Louisville brewpub institution, BBC 3rd and Main is a cozy little basement restaurant and bar convenient to all the theaters and the new Yum! Center.

The photo for BBC @ 3rd shows the sign with the YUM Center in the background. Browning's is no longer on the list but Bank Street Brewery is.
