Louisville Beer Week Various locations Prices and times vary It’s the third day of Louisville Beer Week, which is nine total days of events meant to bring local craft beer enthusiasts and breweries together. Despite being a bourbon town, Louisville is bursting with quality breweries — giving you lots of opportunity for fun (and drinking) this week. There will be several brewery collaborations and new brew debuts, starting with a dual release at Monnik Beer Co. and Against the Grain Brewery and Smokehouse on Monday of a blend of two barrel-aged beers called Tran Sam (as well as scary movie trivia at Monnik). Other events we recommend: a Women in Beer panel at Logan Street Market on Tuesday at 7 p.m. and First Freaky Friday at Akasha Brewing Co. from 4 to 11 p.m., featuring free palm readings, music from The Revival, a costume contest, Hot Buns Food Truck and a slate of new, small batch beers to test.

It’ll have food specials, drink specials (including the infamous mushroom tea) and a May Queen crowning.
