Bluegrass Brewing Company is hosting the first annual Derby City BrewFest which will be held on Derby Eve outside on the KFC Yum Center Plaza! The festival will feature Kentucky Breweries and Kentucky's own style of beer the "Kentucky Common". There will be five local bands playing, 15 breweries and over 60 local beers.
The beers will be served at the respective breweries during Derby Week festivities, culminating in the event in front of the KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville. The festival will include booths by each brewery with several beer styles (60 plus local craft beers) available in addition to Kentucky Common, as well as food and other refreshments for purchase. There will also be a merchandise area, including local beer history author Kevin Gibson's book, "Louisville Beer: Derby City History on Draft," which features nearly an entire chapter on Kentucky Common.
In addition, live music will be provided, featuring the Villebillies, along with the Uncommon Houseflies, Whiskey Bent Valley Boys, Grateful Derby, and Jericho Woods. The festival begins at 4:30 p.m. and lasts until midnight. Admission is $10 with special pre-order packages available.
