    Holsopple is going to be a preferred spot to relax, especially when I'm craving beer and sushi. While no food is served here they do allow you to bring it in or have it delivered. Two suggestions: ToGo Sushi or Chefs Cut Pizza. They offer a lot of outside seating covered by tents, which helps with rainy weather. Indoor seating is available but more limited. There's a small segment of the building you could host a small gathering, with advance reservations. Beer is made local there. Available menu will change. Growlers and Crowler made available. I'm a fan of several of their beers and cider is offered. Kid and Dog friendly spot. During summer/fall they often host music or a small art fair event. Follow their social media pages for updates.

    I came in here the other night. I used to frequent this place when Holsopple opened by where I used to live I think I was there within the first week. Not only was there a craft brewery about a mile from where I lived, but (as it turns out) an absolutely STELLAR craft brewery! Hidden away behind a Sushi place, a cremation service, a pet groomer, and next to a dance studio, Holsoppe isn't the kind of play you'll find by accident. I'm OK with that, though, because it means it can still be kept a secret. :) Holsopple makes some amazing ales and lagers. I was lucky enough to get two bottles of their first bottled beer (Happily Ebony After). All their brews are done on site by people who have a love and a care for the craft that shows in all their brews. With twelve taps there is always something new...even a cider that I really liked, and I'm NOT a cider drinker. The staff is always busy and well informed. Ask any of them about any of their brews and they'll know the answer because they believe in what they sell. They excel at suggesting something you might like based on the types of beers you like and since it's brewed there, it's always fresh. There are snacks and merchandise for purchase from growlers to pint glasses to t-shirts to stickers. If you're feeling competitive there are video games to play and a few board games on hand. Holsopple recently expanded their seating area, allowing for more elbow room and patrons. One of the downsides of having moved to South Louisville is that Holsopple isn't as close as it used to be, but you can be sure I'm there at least once a month. They have a great product, they market it well, and they're still kind of a secret...and that's Okay for me.

    I'm a big fan of Holsopple Brewing. They have a limited scope of things they do well and execute those with excellence. Examples - Rotating assortment of brewed beers? Check. Holsopple consistently has a wide span of brews from lagers to pale ales to Belgians and porters and bourbon barrel aged goodness. I love coming in to see what's new and can always find a palate satisfying option. I'm often surprised and pleased with the creativity that I see on the board. Food? Nope, they're not in that business. Not unless you count the popcorn and trail mix behind the counter. But they're super chill with YOU bringing in food, I've often walked across the parking lot to To Go Sushi or brought in snacks. We brought in a do-it-yourself meat & cheese plate yesterday and felt mighty fancy, not even a second glance from my bartender friends. Local hangout vibe? Super check. After a dance lesson next door yesterday I brought my preschool aged daughter in with us for a sit afterward. The barkeep hooked her up with some popcorn, asked what she might want to see on TV since there was only one football game on at the time and screens to spare (she - and a surprising number of other patrons - watched Brave btw) and there are games and a few cute toys in a corner cubby that helped her feel at home. While mom got her Milkshake IPA on - we all won yesterday. I've always been greeted by friendly faces at the bar, many of them familiar, and enough space to spread out and lounge a bit. I've been involved in Tetris tournaments on their arcade/old game system mod. It's not unusual to see the occasional work-looking meeting here or someone studying. The music is good. You do you and stay awhile at Holsopple. So yeah, what is there not to like? Don't expect a huge brewery, at least right now these guys seem to be small on purpose focusing on high quality brewing. They are centrally located in the Lyndon area and it's easy to stop in while on your way to or from other errands. Easily a fan and love the local color they bring to the area.

    Great spot for a casual craft beer. Their live music makes for great evenings! Their craft beer selection is great and I love that they only carry their own beer so you know you are getting that local taste!

    The ciders and ales we tried were great. I'd give the beer and atmosphere a 5/5. They had live music and a food truck outside. Bartender was pretty rude and unwelcoming, which made it not an enjoyable experience.

    A brewery...in Lyndon??? Who would've ever thought?! I like Lyndon. It is my neighborhood. But we don't always get nice things. Now, I am glad to have Holsopple within literal walking distance from my doorstep. Out of all of the breweries in Louisville, this one is one of the smaller ones. They don't have as much to choose from, but they do have a good variety and some interesting choices. Plus, they also sell their own canned beer! The prices are dirt cheap, too. You can do a sample size (kinda like an XL shot glass) for $2, and a 12 oz pour for $4!! They have bigger sizes you can do as well. I tried the Holsapple Cider, which is a great one for the fruity and sweet lovers. Holsopple also makes for a great hangout spot. The backroom is filled with board games, Jenga, darts, and a video game system that has like, a gazillion games on it. Another brewery you need to cross off your Louisville bucket list!

    Having been here a few times, finally getting around to reviewing this place. Located in St. Matthews on Catherine Lane adjacent to a dance studio sits Holsopple. The inside is quite spacious with a few tables for seating. There is no food here but they do have some bar snacks which consists of chips amongst other things. This place is also dog friendly like most other breweries here in Louisville. My favorite beer here is the rotating Milkshake IPA and Paulas Pilsner. It's not often I come to St. Matthews but when I'm in the area Holsopple is a must stop.

Holsopple recently expanded their seating area, allowing for more elbow room and beer drinkers ..err...patrons. Hungry? On Friday and Saturday there's a food truck and a tent outside if you want to enjoy your beer and food in an outdoor fashion. Got a dog? Bring it along! Dogs are allowed inside and get plenty of attention from the other beer drinkers patrons. One of the downsides of having moved to J-Town is that Holsopple isn't as close as it used to be, but you can be sure I'm there at least once a month. They have a great product, they market it well, and they're still kind of a secret...and that's OK for me.

    Apricot in the Moment
    Allison E.

    Headed over to Holsopple for the first time to grab a growler for quarantine. We drove up to the tent and were helped immediately. They had minimal contact precautions in place to prevent any accidental spread, and were very efficient! We took home the Apricot In The Moment, not something we would normally get but it sounded like summer so we went for it. $5 fee for the growler deposit and for a total of $21 we had craft beer for two for the week! Can't wait to go back and try something new. #ShopLocal

    Do pigs fly? Perhaps but it's part of the Butcher town history…read more This brewery is located in the Mellwood neighborhood arts and culture center. This brewery goes back to the early roots of Louisville . The barrel aged beers and ales make a unique and distinctive addition to the bourbon and other spirits they produce. During the 1960s a plight to save this area began. Many shot gun shacks surround the area. They are shacks with their own quaint detail and design. They have carried this over in the decor and style of ales. This brewery is too cool they have no holds bard for anything that steps on an inch of human rights. You can be black, white, illegal or rainbow all are welcome wherever; just leave the hate alone. Love and support for others is carried on here. In fact it's the main purpose for this thread of Louisville and butchers town. The action of activism is truly alive here in Louisville and all over the city, not just this brewery. It's beyond belief here. Love and the community come together for what we have seen. The art that is in the lobby here truly shines through. Now come and join in the passion that connects us all. It's the fact we are all human and not ashamed to admit our existence. We are not mistakes. We will drink and appreciate our fellow humans and flaws but work together to solve the issues that plague us. Let's drink to that!

    This brewery may be small, but it has some interesting brews and a great atmosphere!…read more I came here recently for trivia and was so impressed. First, the beers. I got the Mango-Colada Sour, and this was delightful. It seems like Butchertown Brewing really excels at sours, fruit beers and fun concoctions. So if you're not afraid to "fruit the beer," this is a good place to check out. They also have seltzers, hard sodas and more typical beer offerings. And while it is small, you can still easily find food. It's right across the Mellwood Art Center courtyard from Danny Mac's Pizza (my all-time favorite Louisville pizza spot!). And you can order via Danny Mac's website and choose to get it delivered to Butchertown Brewing. You don't even have to leave your chair to get delicious pizza! Butchertown Brewing also hosts fun events, like the aforementioned trivia. Actually it was trivia bingo -- so the more fun, easier-to-play version of triva, which I actually won a prize in! I won a gift card to come back to Butchertown Brewing, and I will definitely be partaking again soon!
