Fine Food, Great Beer and Hospitality for All!
 It started on Plaza Drive with Sportstime Pizza in 1987 (now the NABC Pizzeria), followed by Rich O’s (NABC Public House) in 1990, the incorporation of the New Albanian Brewing Company in 1994, the launch of the original New Albanian Brewery in 2002 (the first commercial brewery in New Albany since 1935) and, more recently, the opening of the Prost! Rooms for reserved functions, special events and evening dining.
 In 2009 the all-night skull sessions were back - the craft beer flowing better than ever - and we have now opened our second location, in downtown New Albany. The Bank Street Brewhouse already features fine food and great NABC Beer in the Brasserie, a beer garden and a 15 barrel brewery for regional distribution of our soon to be famous draft beer! (There are also rumors of 750 ml. bottles of Hoptimus and Thunderfoot and 'Kaiser in a can'!)
Louisville’s perennially best beer selection is just across the river. We craft our own beer, serve hundreds of other fine beers from America and around the world, and offer locally renowned dining – now in two New Albany locations.
Welcome to our website! We hope to see you in person very soon;
virtual reality is sometimes enough, but fresh beer, delicious food
and good times are always better at the NABC.

Winter Seasonals at the Pizzeria and Public House
NABC pays tribute to our winter holidays' ancient, pagan origins with Saturnalia, our winter draft celebration. We gathered dozens of special kegs of beer – some rare, some seasonal and others just festive – from the USA and around the world. Some of these beers are appearing in draft form at the NABC Public House and Pizzeria for the first time - for some, it will be the first appearance in metropolitan Louisville.
Stocks are dwindling as Saturnalia draws to a close, so if you have favorites on this list, best 'get some' while you can.
 Anchor Christmas, Winter Warmer
Birra Del Borgo My Antonia, American Double / Imperial Pilsner
Brasserie Des Géants Noël Des Géants, Herbed / Spiced Beer
Brauerei Weihenstephaner 1809, Berliner Weissbier
Clipper City Heavy Seas Great Pumpkin, Pumpkin Ale
Dubuisson Scaldis Nöel, Belgian Strong Ale
Founders Breakfast Stout, American Double / Imperial Stout
Great Divide Hibernation Ale, Old Ale
Left Hand Fade To Black, Foreign / Export Stout
Mahr's Christmas Bock
NABC's Naughty Claus, our own Winter Warmer
NABC's Solidarity Baltic Porter

Office Hours with the Publican
... and Scandinavian beer on my mind.
On Monday, February 8, I’m inaugurating Office Hours with the Publican, a weekly Monday evening tasting at NABC’s Pizzeria & Public House (in Prost). It is slated to begin at 6:30 p.m., and run for an hour or so. I intend this and future tastings as self-contained, one-night skull sessions. There will be a nominal fee of $5, and you may order food and drink throughout.
 NABC Beer Manager Mike Bauman has set aside bottles from Scandinavian craft brewers Mikkeller, Nøgne Ø and Olfabrikken, and we’ll taste and discuss them. I’m not sure which ones I’ll choose, so you’ll just have to attend and find out. Until then, here is a dab of conceptual back story.

 The Hoosier Beer Geeks are chartering a bus and coming to visit both NABC locations on March 6. I looked at the calendar this morning and realized that with 18 days to go until Gravity Head begins, it's time to get my lazy butt in gear and begin generating information -- but, as Augustine said, not just yet. Mike and I will work on the starting lineup this week, and I'll commence the compilation of the programs. This morning, there are other pressing matters awaiting my acumen, such as tonight's Office Hours.
One question was asked: Would there be flights of smaller pours when the HBG bus is parked outside? Customarily, no, but let me see what I can do. Perhaps a buffet of sorts ...

 ... or more adventures with Jared and Steve.
This coming weekend, NABC's Jared Williamson will make the return trip to Benton Harbor, Michigan, and a date to brew with Steve Berthel at The Livery.
We are brewing the 5th Anniversary Ale, 12% 100+ IBU, that will debut at Great Taste of the Midwest alongside a 10-month-aged pin of Le Douche Mentale. We will brew on Friday, and then Saturday is Steve's birthday bash at The Livery.
There's my reason to return for this year's GTMW, which takes place on Saturday, August 14. That, and a couple hundred others.
For background on Jared's and Steve's collaborative batches, hit the archives: It's simple: Steve and Jared brew a collaborative batch, and then I drink beer with them.

 ... highlighted by a firkin of Dry Knob
 It just might be an insane weekend at Bank Street Brewhouse, and I’m not complaining.
Earlier in the week, we started running our first-ever ads at the Louisville Restaurants Forum. Then we learned that we had been reviewed in the Louisville Courier-Journal. The review was on-line yesterday, and is in this morning's print edition. Then Food & Dining magazine came out, featuring a cover story about New Albany's nouveau dining scene and a cover photo by Dan Dry of Chef Josh's pesto lasagna. Finally, there’s the Super Bowl on Sunday.
Previously I told you about the plan for Super Bowl Sunday at Bank Street Brewhouse. We’re giving Chef Josh part of the day off so he can watch his beloved Colts, and he’s so excited about the offer that he’s letting Steve and Amy use his kitchen to prepare Asian Wings, Pork BQ and Scotch Eggs from 3:00 p.m. to game’s end.
NABC’s brew crew didn’t want to be left out, so Jared has delivered a firkin of Dry Knob to BSB, where it will be tapped and served by gravity pour from the bar top on Sunday at the special price of $3.00 … while it lasts.
Dry Knob is an American-style Pale Ale, and a variant of our Wet Knob Hop Harvest Ale. The difference is the use of dried hops from Abstonia Farms in Floyds Knobs, as opposed to the freshly picked “wet” hops used late last summer.
For more information, flash back to this posting: Wet Knob Hop Harvest Ale.

Louisville's Food & Dining mag is out, and Chef Josh's pesto lasagna is the cover, with the Bank Street Brewhouse featuring in a story about the explosion of downtown New Albany's dining scene - and inside, my usual beer column.
What a freaking day it has been. Time for beer?

... in the Courier-Journal.
We knew the Bank Street Brewhouse restaurant review was coming to the Saturday edition of the Louisville Courier-Journal, but we didn't know it would be posted on-line at Metromix a full day in advance.
The review begins with a description of downtown New Albany, then and now, and I wouldn't be human if I didn't say that it smells like vindication to me.
It's more than just a beer joint, by Marty Rosen.
All of a sudden, New Albany seems to have found its future. A sparkling new YMCA facility, long a centerpiece of the city’s development plans, is drawing throngs of people. And a downtown dining scene that was once best known for housing the diminutive burger joint Little Chef and the inexpensive enormity of the salt-laden meals at the old Southside Inn, has become a bona fide dining district, with enough diversity and quality to lure folks from all over the region.
Congratulations to Chef Lehman, GM Powell, staff and brewers. We're still not there yet, but we're getting closer each day. On-premise business has steadily improved, even without the outdoor seating that's so important to the business plan.
Our goal was 100 off-premise draft beer accounts after six months of draft beer distribution, and we're just about on time with it. You can find NABC beer at numerous establishments in Louisville and Southern Indiana, as well as in Munster, Indianapolis, Muncie, Zionsville, Madison and Evansville, among other Hoosier outposts.
We're hoping for a crazy weekend. Here's the link to Kylene Lloyd's BSB photo gallery in Metromix.

The list hits 60 - and stops there.
Uncle.
This is as close as I can get to a final Gravity Head listing. It may well be the most diverse ever from top to bottom. The style categories are from Beer Advocate. There are 60 beers, even though I was supposed to buy less this year. Oops. One of these years, I'll learn. You'll notice that there have been changes since the last update.
We'll begin on February 26 with the third annual Gravity Head Tailgate Breakfast at 7:00 in the Public House. The starting lineup will be announced fairly soon, and there'll be fan voting for one slot.

 Our Cellarman Recommends
 Mike Bauman, our cellarman at NABC Grant Line, has two sets of recommendations for us this week. For those who prefer to live on the dark side, Mike suggests Left Hand Brewery's Fade To Black, which he describes as "dark, rich and smooth" and finds "well balanced for a high alcohol beer."
For those who prefer lighter beers, Mike has two big 10 oz. 'hoppy' beers in mind, Shmaltz Lenny's Bittersweet R.I.P.A., "with nine hops and 7 malts its a big beer indeed", and Bell's HopSlam, "the name says it all on this one."
Coming Soon to the NABC Grant Line

I'd like to thank Develop New Albany, our city's non-profit Indiana Main Street organization, for awarding Bank Street Brewhouse a Pillar Award at the annual DNA meeting on Thursday night.
Horizon Award: This category recognizes a new or emerging in existence for five years or less. The award went to the Bank Street Brewhouse.
NABC's original location on the New Albany's north side was determined by chance and serendipity. Bank Street Brewhouse's site downtown was picked because it is downtown, in large measure stemming from ideas and principles that we share with DNA and the Main Street ethos. In my mind, we're using the city as the city was intended, and helping to revitalize it according to urban realities.
The beer and food are the most important aspects, but the street address is a close third.
