Taste what Kentucky is brewing
Craft Bash brings 50+ Kentucky breweries together for one big riverside celebration of local beer, rare pours, Guild collaborations, and the people who make the Commonwealth’s craft beer scene worth raising a glass to.
The Commonwealth’s largest taproom,
open for one day only.
For one afternoon, Louisville Waterfront Park becomes the best place in the state to taste Kentucky beer, with breweries from across the Commonwealth, rare pours, food trucks, and riverfront views all in one place.
