About Louisville’s Craft Beer Scene: During the late 1800s and early 1900s, Louisville was a major Southeastern brewing hub. This was due to the influx of German immigrants who saw to it that brewing was a focal point of Louisville’s social and economic culture. Today, more than a century later, Louisville’s beer scene is experiencing a resurgence. The city is currently home to 15 craft breweries, with 12 more anticipated to open in 2018.
