Ideally, you have been at least once or tried their beer- NOT simply breweries you haven't visited/tried yet. Also, hometown can be your literal town, or could expand to your immediate region of residence.
In/Around Louisville, KY:
Against The Grain- Their experiments seem more miss than hit in recent years; some of their brewery/brand artwork is just gross; their beer is crazy expensive for the quality.
Monnik Brewing- Never visited IP, because they made a fatal mistake for me- they set an opening date that they missed... by 3 1/2 years. So, I will also delay my initial visit by 3/12 years. Still about 1 1/2 years to go. Had a couple of their beers, and only 1 of 3 was something I'd drink again.
Goodwood Brewing- None of their beers have drawn me in enough to have another; all have some sort of weird "wood" treatment that really just seems like old BBC (Bluegrass Brewing Company) recipes they have rebadged and added wood. Speaking of which...
BBC- Used to be a frequent visitor to their original location for the food; the beer has been inconsistent for a very long time, due to brewer turnover (and over).
Great Flood Brewing- None of their beers excite me much; I walk by them (shelf cans) with barely a second though and reach for more reliable options.
Apocalypse Brew Works- They do manage to make the occasional hit, but they are pretty much a brewery-only operation (no packaging, outside of the occasional guest keg) and their tap room is sorta odd. It's a little too much like something out of that Maximum Force arcade game. I'm afraid zombies are going to attack, forcing me to draw my plastic handgun. (Glock?)
Who makes your list? Why?
