    Pre-Opening of The Holy GrAle

    Some of the few perks of the local beer world is going to parties focused all around good beer.  There is nothing better then good beer, good friends, and good conversation. 

    After the 2nd Annual Highlands Beer Festival was over and My Old Kentucky Homebrew Booth was safely packed away, I wandered over to the Louisville Beer Store’s newest endeavor, The Holy GrAle.  Lori and Tyler have made quite a name for themselves as one of the few, the proud, and the best spots in town to hang and talk beer.  I had even made a point to make the Louisville Beer Store the location of my last birthday bash.  

    The Holy GrAle is not truly open until Dec 14th, and I suggest that everyone makes a stop by to enjoy a good beer when it does, not to mention try the food.  The pre-opening party gave me a beautiful glimpse into the future of the Louisville beer scene, and I must admit I had tears of joy.

    I made my way in only to be engulfed in a scene out of a medieval cathedral, with stained glass windows, barrel end tables, and a comfy church pew.  After a quick congratulations to Lori on how awesome the place looked, I turned to my friend Kelly and her husband Matt.  We chatted about life, their new endeavor into parenthood, and of course good beer.  I’d chosen a cold glass of freshly poured Beerhive Tripel by New Holland, which was sweet yet earthy, and very refreshing. 

    I didn’t stay long, just enough to drink my good beer and head off to home for some needed rest.  However The Holy GrAle is going to be one of the best things to exist in the Highlands, and possibly Louisville.  The building is swank, the people chill, and the beer good.
