Akasha Brewing Co

Stopped in here during NULU Festival to get out of the rain. Was greeted very pleasantly. The bartender took great pride in explaining everything to us since first time there.We did a few tasters and locked in on our final choices. She was sweet enough to turn on the Wisconsin Badger game while we enjoyed our drinks. We chatted with her for a while while we were there. There was a book on beer brewing history; lots of good information and interesting. Enjoyed the laid back decor of the brewery and the simplistic decor but still entertaining to look at.With dates and chess set which people were playing and enjoying.

I love this place. Nice and quiet with good music. I am not sure what kind of music that they play. They have good selection of beers. But it seem that they are retool or remodel their brewery. So their drafts are pretty much limited. But they have good beer which is Fehr's XL. You can't miss it.

We were just roaming around after driving from Asheville, and this caught hub's eye. It was later in the evening and fairly quiet. I typically like a Belgian, but the Abby Normal was like a brownie in a glass. It was Elon rich. I could have ordered the 5oz pour. I think I did 12 oz and it was hard to finish. That being said, we both liked it so much we got a bottle of the bourbon barrel aged version. The bartender was super personable and friendly. The vibe was comfortable with both tables and some cushy sofas. We'll be back in Louisville in September, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they have then

Been here a few times and just now leaving a review. Located in an ever growing NuLu on Market St. there is a parking lot in front and there is always street parking. There is a Feast BBQ located next to the brewery that I have seen people eat inside however, I haven't gotten to try that yet and need to next visit. I have heard of this place on Yelp and Louisville Beer Snob Facebook page and although I have heard and read great things about this place, I was apprehensive. I have fallen in love with this place over the past few months. I love the whole atmosphere of the place. In my opinion it feels as if I'm in a lounge/basement type of place with a fish tank. I like to come here just to chill after work or to just get away from reality. My favorite beer here has to be their Phat Cat. They do have a good selection of sours that are good but Phat Cat tops my list. My last couple of visits I am happy to encounter fellow Beer Snob and Yelper Cherise behind the counter. Thanks for always making me feel welcome here. I will always be coming back.

A cool hangout spot with easy to drink beer. Small parking lot, some outdoor seating and a friendly brewery pup that will come say hi for treats by the bar area. They do flights of 4:Auxier Ridge Saison - a little tart but pretty light. I don't usually go for the tart beers but this one wasn't too bad.Northern Brown - easy to drink and a good brown Ale. Little bit of a nutty flavor but pretty tasty.12 foot fall Lager Oktoberfest - pretty standard Oktoberfest but also a pretty good flavor as well.Swipe Right IPL - Really light beer and a very slight hint of hops. Easy to drink and good for those who might want to Segway into an IPA.Overrall the beers are really easy to drink and light. I really enjoy the atmosphere here and the staff is really friendly. You can buy the Louisvillr Ale Trail passport here too for $10.

A relaxed and cool space to hangout in Nulu! The drinks were great, and service was friendly. Parking was easy. We really enjoyed the outdoor space for summer, although there was plenty of room indoors as well.

So my love and enjoyment of Akasha persist, even during these uncertain pandemic times.I have been able to get my local beer fix, despite *gestures around* all this. They are up to the minute with announcements on their social media of new beer releases, tappings, and take-out/to-go offerings. Their online ordering is super simple and easy to do. Pick up is also super easy. And the staff coordinating all of it remains friendly. Keep up the good work, keep bringing me fruity sour variants, and keep on keeping on!Drink local and tip well, y'all!

Popping on here to say that after several years as an avid Akasha customer, it has remained my favorite in Louisville. I had Akasha beer at my wedding, and it's now been present at pretty much every important gathering over the last couple of years, including my and my husband's birthdays, even our baby shower. We hosted our rehearsal dinner a couple of years ago at Akasha, and it was a joy to get to introduce our friends and family to this special place. It's space is a chill gathering spot but can fit a large group of people, which makes it perfect for pulling a lot of folks together. And it doesn't hurt that the beer is particularly awesome. I'm a big fan of goses, and Akasha has really made a name for itself with this style. It makes several types of goses, so check it out when you see it on the menu. It's a great place to bring our dog with to enjoy a beer, and even our toddler son has accompanied us when meeting friends. And you can bring food in from the surrounding great NuLu eateries. Akasha is pretty tops. Excited that they are now canning some of their beers. I suspect we'll be stopping by to buy some to-go as well as enjoying brews in their taproom.

What an... odd experience. After talking to some locals/ friends who also came here, I learned I was not alone. Might explain why the place was empty. I walked in by myself, and it took a few minutes to be greeted standing at the bar. I had quite a few questions, and the answers were abrupt as if I was causing a pain. I had two beers brewed by them as a small sample, and both tasted extremely odd/ off putting. I ended up asking for a pint of a guest beer I knew was good. Not only was it $7 but it was FLAT. I went up to the bar after a few sips and only got stares from the beertender... who was socializing with two (regulars?) not sure... Anyway I left a $1 tip, a 90% full beer, and left. I won't be returning unless a group wants to go. Pros?Big tap listNice location and interiorCons?Unwelcoming staff/ odd vibeReally priceySomething going on with their lines... beers shouldn't be flat

Grumpy bartender and a dirty fish tank. The cat is what gets this place 3 stars. Probably would not come back. No complaints about the beer.
