Black bean vegan chili for the win! Excellent brews, small menu but everything is good! Cozy atmosphere, outside sitting. They host Bear with a Scientist every month. Service is not always the best.

A go-to place any time I'm in Louisville. The board always offers a great variety of beer styles and it's hard to find a bad one. Some vegan options as well that are quite tasty.

The "Ham" Burger made w/ ground pork is delicious and the constantly rotating lineup of locally made beers will keep you checking back. If you're a veggie, don't worry, they have a great menu for you

Everything we tasted here was delicious! Salmon and grits, barbeque sauce flight, beer, pulled pork nachos, brisket, hash, hamburger. It was all good!

When you like beer, burgers and Baseball this is your place. Burgers and brisket were so tasty. Beware, sides are extra and come in shareable portions. Nice big on tap list too

Great beers on tap with additional Bombers and Cans for sale. Burgers are amazing. ..gouda grits were awesome. ..food was a little slow to come out but worth the wait.

Great beers. They only brew each beer once, so they are constantly changing. Reasons to come back!
Lauren SandersOctober 27, 2018
Go on a nice day so you can sit outside! Large picnic style tables with great beer. Pro tip: ask what they are brewing. It may not be on the menu...

Try the captain crunch. It's grrreat! Oh and hoisen covered artichoke hearts #gottacatchthemall

The truffle fries are amazing. The IPAs are nicely different than many west coast IPAs in the area. Definitely get food with your flight
Paula MadeiraJuly 16, 2018
The brisket is divine and the beers are very interesting. Try the flight so you can taste them all and have some of the brisket!!

I went for monthly "Beer with a Scientist" program. 30 min talks on diverse topics. Great brews, wonderful program. Get there early, it fills up!

Great food and service. You have to try the grilled romaine. I know. It’s crazy but it’s awesome.
Shelby VanCleveOctober 28, 2012
The hickory nachos were awesome. Beer can chicken not so good. Interesting beer definitely for the more adventurous beer drinker
Graylyn RooseSeptember 29, 2015
Almost anything on the menu is a good choice. I love the rotating beer selection and great brisket and pulled pork.
Bobby KennedyApril 7, 2016
Solid selection of beers. Instead of a menu, they breakdown what they have by type: dark, session, hoppy, etc
Tim TuckerMay 30, 2012
Brisket was smoked so good I didn't bother with the sauce. Baked beans were incredible. The smoked cole slaw was not to my liking but may just be me. Service was attentive and friendly.
Anthony BlairApril 21, 2013
The beef brisket is delicious. Cheese grits tasty. Not a baked bean fan but these were good.

Citra Ass Down is a great IPA. If you are lucky enough to be there when they have it on tap, order it!
Katy ClaypoolApril 4, 2019
The fried bologna sandwich will not disappoint. Absolutely get the cheesy grits with it. You won’t be sorry.
Matt BrewerAugust 7, 2013
The pork tacos were the first thing I'd ever had from Against the Grain and they are amazing! Must try!
Sierra PittmanJune 9, 2019
The atmosphere is great, bartenders are super awesome and knowledgeable, and the food is delicious!

Burgoo is a hidden gem on the menu. Wash it down with a Citra Ass Down - the house double IPA!
Jack SteinJanuary 13, 2015

The chili is sooooo good! Get it with chorizo and ask for some extra spicy bbq sauce
Miles & Smith Real Estate GroupOctober 22, 2012
Had the smoked chicken wings, they were so good and dipping them in honey was a great combo of salty and sweet. Read more

Um...this menu design seems kinda racist to me. Why is the caricature for "dark" beers the only one holding a gun? In other news, free WiFi (no wi-Fi password) here, but few outlets.

"The Memphis" dry rubbed, slow cooked, pulled pork is perfect, as is the house slaw.
Leigh LoftusDecember 3, 2018
One of the best breweries I’ve ever been to!

Brisket sandwich has pickled onions on it and all sandwiches come with piclkles, in case you want to request they be left off.

Ask for Shannon and try the smoked beer cheese and a smoke black and mild! You'll thank me! ;{)>

If they have it try Kein Lacheln Mein Nachbar, a kellar/zwickle cross, hoppy but oaky. Means no smiling, my neighbor.

The pork belly and Brussels sprouts are great
