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!

Tap at the Magic tree. Slight haze on a slightly darker pale brew. Mild sweet fruity nose. Tart on the palate. Somewhat industrial tequila feel. Unique fer sher. Was turned off at first with the tequila but this really starts to grow on you in the middle. Finished nicely. Tequila improves in the end. Perhaps I just got used to it. Not bad.
