NABC AT HOME: OUR BRICKS AND MORTAR

Note that as of May 13, food service has been suspended at Bank Street Brewhouse. The bar remains open, and we’re still serving NABC beers for consumption in house, and to take away in growlers and 22-ounce bomber bottles. Customers can bring their own food, whether packed in a picnic basket, carried out from downtown New Albany’s many fine eateries, or delivered in. NABC hopes to encourage the development of food truck culture in New Albany, and the Big Four Burgers trailer is scheduled for most Fridays until Aug. 22. Stay tuned for further details, and thanks for your support.

World Cup Trilogy
At Bank Street Brewhouse and the Pizzeria & Public House
NABC honors the World Cup with three fresh, new beers honoring the three national football squads facing the USA in Group G of the opening round: Ghana, Portugal and Germany. Beginning on June 16, 2014, the beers will debut as the American squad’s opening matches are played. There’ll be many places in metro Louisville to view these contests — but how many of them created and brewed three new beers as specific accompaniment to the beautiful game, and the world’s biggest sporting event?

USA vs. Portugal – “Super Bock”
Release: Sunday, June 22 at Bank Street Brewhouse (June 23 at the Pizzeria & Public House)
