Description
Goodwood Brewing is a production brewery located in the heart of downtown Louisville. The brewery is dedicated to making beers that have been touched by wood; whether in reclaimed oak casks once used to house bourbon, red wine, and brandy or seasoned on oak, poplar or ash. Goodwood’s "shade-grown beers" are all touched by the natural gradations of reclaimed casks and other wood types for flavorful expressions that are unique to Goodwood. Just like the bourbon Kentucky is famous for, all of Goodwood’s beers begin with limestone water. The gents behind Goodwood are some of Louisville’s longest-serving brewing veterans, running production breweries here since 2001.

Goodwood Brewing Co. offers brewery tours, private event rental space, live music, yoga and other weekly & monthly events in the taproom. The 200 year old building with a fully renovated Taproom is conveniently located at the edge of NuLu, and it's the perfect blend of historic, industrial and cool!

330ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty malt and bourbon. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liqourice bitter, with a rich, slightly oily, roasty, oaky, bourbon, light chocolate, light dry coffee palate and some hints of sweet vanilla. Full to medium bodied with soft carbonation. Not bad at all and the best beer I’ve had so far from this brewery.

330ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, cardboard lager yeast, light hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, crisp, malty, light floral, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. I really didn’t taste any evidence whatsoever of the ageing process. Quite disappointing considering this is sold as a premium product.

330ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a murky medium brown colour with a short-lived, frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt, toffee caramel and oaky bourbon notes. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, slightly watery, light floral hop, light burnt treacle palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. I paid a premium price for this, but if you put a poor beer into the barrel it will still be poor when it comes out.

Pine, grapefruit peel, and caramel malt aroma. Hazy dark amber with large light tan head. Very sweet orange caramel malt, and moderately bitter pine/grapefruit peel flavor. Nice balance - not overly sweet and hops rather subdued.

Draft at Goodwood. Dark, ruddy amber body, soft soapy beige head. Malty aroma, light sweetness, woody, barrel notes. Taste is sweet malt, followed by some hoppy bitterness and then the barrel bringing some boozy accents.
