There will be a "Beer-Raiser" at BoomBozz next Thursday to assist Jeremy Rathfon in bringing a new local beer to the Louisville scene. After all, the more beer the merrier right? You can read more about the fundraising initiative below, but head to BoomBozz on Bardstown this coming Thursday to participate or follow the links!
Louisville, Ky – Louisvillian Jeremy Rathfon is raising money to fund his dream of creating a local single-barrel brewery, LouBrew, and establish a taproom in the Schnitzelburg area of Louisville’s Germantown neighborhood. Armed with a PhD in Engineering and after homebrewing extensively for 7 years, while being heavily involved recently in the Louisville craft beer scene, Rathfon is ready to take his brewing to the next level. Through kickstarter.com, an online, community based fundraising tool that has provided startups from around the country with the funds necessary to launch their company, Rathfon has established a campaign for LouBrew aimed at raising $30,000 by July 22nd. An ambitious goal, these funds will be used to purchase the necessary brewing equipment for a single-barrel brew house, cover initial licensing fees, build a taproom for beer lovers to enjoy the new brews, outdoor improvements, creating signage, and to purchase initial ingredients to start brewing tasty recipes.
LouBrew’s locally oriented mission, aims at providing a continually rotating variety of unique recipes to satisfy every Louisville beer connoisseur's appetite. Examples of such delicious brews include: Cuvée Noire, a black Belgian style strong ale aged in a pinot noir wine barrel; Pirâte Booté, an American stout spiced with grains of paradise, cardamom, and whole licorice root, aged in a spiced rum cask; and La Diable Blanche, a Belgian style wheat beer featuring coriander, whole chamomile flower, and sweet orange and grapefruit zest.
If the $30,000 goal is reached by July 22nd, a grand opening celebration featuring LouBrew’s craft brewed beers will be held in October of this year. If the project goal is not reached by July 22nd, all pledges made will be canceled.
