Young Alumni: Brew & Q

 

Are you interested in brewing and learning about different beers? Join recent alumni at Great Flood Brewing Co. to learn about the beer making process in a Q&A session with the co-owners Vince Cain, 10B, Matt Fuller, 09E, 10GE, and Zach Barnes, 12B. They will lead you through a tasting of four beers and discuss how their UofL education set them up to pursue their dream of owning their own brewery. After the Q&A and tasting, feel free to stick around and enjoy other beverages from Great Flood with fellow alumni.


The event is $10 and includes a flight of four beers for tasting, gratuity, light bar snacks, and a pint glass.

 

The development of Great Flood Brewing Co.:
"Our story begins in January of 2012. There we were, standing in the backyard with a few of our college buddies and our brand new 5-gallon homebrew system. Inspired by our favorite local waterholes, such as Cumberland and BBC Taproom (poor college kids love $5 growler fills!), we set out on a mission to learn the art of craft brewing. We were immediately hooked. As curious business and entrepreneurship students who were stuck in “entry-level” desk jobs, we naturally started to ask questions about the business of craft beer: “Is there room for more breweries in Louisville?” “How would we go about starting a brewery?” “Could we really make a living as professional brewers?” In a few short months we threw caution to the wind and signed on our amazing building on the corner of Douglass Loop and Bardstown Rd. From then on the time flew by and on April 11th, 2014, we opened our doors to the public…and the rest is history. Stop by the brewery, we’d love to tell you about how our dream continues."

Join us to hear more about their company and taste their beer selection!
