The NABC Weekend: Slept off the HH hangover? It's time for more beer.


Let's begin with a tremendous welcome for Seeds and Greens Natural Market and Deli (207 W. First Street in New Albany, near The Exchange), which will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday morning with a ribbon cutting at 9:30 a.m. There'll be food samples, door prizes and a chance to look around. The market will close at 5:00 p.m. We're very happy to have this new option.

Before, during and after your Seeds and Greens inspection, here's the weekend beer list at Bank Street Brewhouse for rehydration.

The NABC Pizzeria & Public House has started periodic pourings (Wednesdays and Fridays) of Franconian lagers via traditional gravity-dispense (Anstich) kegs from breweries in Bamberg’s Franconian hinterlands. These come to us from Starlight Distribution via Shelton Brothers, and are a yearly ritual. The beer for Friday, October 17, is Weissenohe Altfränkisch Klosterbier. It will be tapped at 3:00 p.m. and won't last long. For more information, visit the NABC web site.

Today through Sunday (October 17 - 19), Jeffersonville is reviving its Steamboat Days civic festival, and NABC's Hoosier Daddy and Black & Blue Grass will be on tap at the Craft Beer Garden, operated by our friends at Cluckers.

Tonight (Friday, October 17) is one of our favorite annual events: LIBA Louisville BrewFest, held at Louisville Slugger Field. According to LIBA, “This Louisville celebration of local, independent brewers, independent businesses, and independent thinkers will shelve uniformity and celebrate our uniqueness.” NABC's Community Dark and Hoosier Daddy will be joined by Action! APA in the VIP slot.

Through October 25, open Thursday through Sunday each weekend, ReSurfaced: A Pop-Up Plaza on Main takes place at 615-621 West Main Street in Louisville.

Thursdays 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Fridays 11:00 a.m. – 11 p.m.
Saturdays 3:00 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Sundays 1:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Here’s the idea, courtesy of the city of Louisville: “The first initiative in the ReSurfaced movement is to take the currently underutilized space behind the facades of 615-621 West Main Street in downtown Louisville, and create a six week long pop-up beer garden, outdoor cafe, and event space beginning on September 19, 2014.”

NABC has two locations in New Albany. Our original Pizzeria & Public House near IU Southeast offers a pizzeria-style food menu, NABC’s beers of proven merit and a list of quality guest beers. In downtown New Albany, our taproom at Bank Street Brewhouse no longer prepares meals, but you can pair NABC drafts and bomber bottles with delivery food, carry-in or the contents of your own picnic basket.
