Shippingport Brewing

This is our favorite brewery in Louisville. The beer is always so good. Marge (the IPA) is incredible - it's clean, fresh, and clear. The Tripel tripel, Mabel is so wonderful and makes my Belgian beer loving heart happy. It's quiet. The patrons and the staff are always so friendly. The food menu is sold (the tomato and grilled cheese is a favorite for our 6 y/o twins). If you love really high quality, truly craft beer, do yourself a favor and check this place out.

Shippenport brewing is a downtown Louisville bar that is located right outside of the Museum row area of the city. The establishment does have some smaller on site parking but you will likely have to street park. Interior is wide open and features what I would call a traditional bar or brewery look to it. I've Visited this establishment. A few times and both my visits I actually received pretty sub par service. The workers in my experience seem very overwhelmed and just not very friendly. Which is the opposite of what one expects from a bartender. I'm not a huge beer or ipa guy but Thai establishment does have a good variety to choose from. So plenty of options. Atmosphere in the establishment on both visits was easy going and lighthearted so it is a good place to hang out and relax and enjoy a drink and some food. They do have food options but I've only ever had a bag of chips. They use a chip company called "hen of the woods" which I would describe as kettleChips. Pretty solid. Overall a solid spot as not too many bars Exist on that end of museum row and they have a nice atmosphere and solid options. Hopefully the staffing can work on friendliness and being attentive to match the vibe the patrons have.

This place is a hidden gem. I had never heard of Shippingport until a Yelp event. I have since returned to try their others beers with my partner. Everything we've had so far has been delicious. I'm a huge fan of the kombucha (this is my new obsession). Please support this business!Plus, they have a spice vending machine. Filling up on spices and beer? Good times!

I recently paid my first visit to Shippingport Brewery...and I'm ashamed to say that it took me so long. Shippingport is located in a part of town that I don't know that I've ever driven, so Waze had to give me some assistance because I had NO idea where it was located. I made it, even though I had to drive around the block to make sure I parked where I should. Sporting 10 taps of house-brewed brews, the Pleyful Ale was my favorite, while the Midtvinter made a helluva showing.What I really loved about this venue is that it's so...genuine. It's not floor-to-ceiling lights and screens and sports and décor. It's laid-back, unpretentious, and genuine. Like going to a friend's house to hang out and have a few beers.The staff is SUPER awesome and friendly, and if you have questions...ANY questions at all...about their beers, they've got that covered. There's none of this "Hold on, let me ask (insert person's name here) and I'll be right back." I think each and every employee has vested interest in making Shippingport as genuine and awesome as it can be.One thing I did NOT expect was a fresh spice vending machine! I was, like...WHAT?!?! It's kind of like Post-It® Notes. You didn't realize you needed them until found them...and now you want them everywhere.While I genuinely apologize for not getting here before now, you can count on seeing me again soon!

Hands down the best Kolsch I have ever had! Cozy, warm atmosphere with friendly service and great beer to boot! My husband and I got the pleasure of meeting Amelia, the owner. We really enjoyed hearing about her travels around the country to come back home and open this awesome brewey in 2020. I will definitely be back when I am in Louisville again!

Another Yelp reviewer said it best: come for the beer, stay for the food. The beer is amazing & the food is incredible. I had the Eddy which was perfect for a warm spring day. Their special sandwich of the day was a Hawaiian Sandwich it was absolutely delicious. I also had the Reg & Sweet Potato Mash... I ate it all & got a container to go too.They also have a dog-friendly patio out back (which is where we sat). There is a large tent with tables & chairs if you want to sit in some shade. But if you want to feel the sun on your skin, there are chairs & tables for that too.

Park along the street of what could be considered the calm area of Downtown Louisville. Street Parking on most blocks and rarely any trouble finding a spot. Walk through the Pedestrian Door or the Garage Door if the Ohio Valley weather is treating you right. Behold, your new favorite Micro Brewery. Amelia and squad have outdone themselves with creating the perfect sud sippin' atmosphere and brews. Oh yeah, and mouth-watering pressed sandwiches accompanied by a variety of soups and wholesome sides. If you see their Brown Butter Rice Crispy Treats, add it to your tab!I love to sit at the bar with my partner and watch the flow of the kitchen and taps. Normally a sweet conversation happens with the Owner and others tending the bar. We enjoyed a "Crank the Petals", and an unbelievable Hazy Pale Ale made with Hibiscus. In addition to that brew, we had a "Wolf Who Sends Flowers" Foraged Ale. Both were like none other when it comes to beer. Be sure to pop in on a Thursday for Trivia!

Wow, I mean WOW.Delicious beer and the food is also pretty damn remarkable. Did I mention the prices are INCREDIBLE?! It's about time that a brewery opened up here! The brewers and staff are kind and friendly.No matter what beer or food item you order, there is no doing it wrong!Just go, go, GO! You'll thank me.

With so many delicious breweries in Louisville, it's going to seem like a bold statement to say you ever have a favorite but this is my happy place!Shippingport is the coziest of the atmospheres with some of the tastiest beer selections out there. I feel pretty confident to say that anyone could find something to make their brewed tastebuds happy. It seems that we always wind up at Shippingport on the gloriously sunny days when we can enjoy the back patio with our pup or on the chilly dreary days when you can sit cozily inside and enjoy some heart and tummy warming soups and sandwiches. My favorite combo is the tomato soup and grilled cheese. Also, if they have those homemade Brown Buttered Rice Krispie Treats by the check out - do yourself a favorite and grab one of those baddies.

So this has only been my 2nd visit here. I actually first came here when the brewery part opened in summer 2021, I believe Sally Forth kitchen was already in place. I have heard the sandwiches are really good and I have yet to try. This brewery is located in the Portland area of Louisville ( an area I don't venture much to). It looks like a warehouse but it has its name on front and side. There is street parking available. The inside is well lit but almost like a fancy restaurant type of lit. Not too bright not too dark. Amelia owner/founder happened to be here this recent visit was very helpful and even recommended a beer that was not gonna be available for very long for my flight of 4. I really liked the Christmas ale which might have been the one Amelia had recommended but I can't recall, I did like the Marge which is their signature drink. I do plan to come back here to try the sandwiches since that is what a lot of people do talk about here. I also give props to Amelia for her hospitality during my visit. I may not come to the Portland Neighborhood often but, I would definitely come to the Portland area to come to Shippingport. If y'all hadn't been here yet, Amelia and her staff are awesome.
