LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
Opened for business, October 2011,
AGAINST THE GRAIN took over the space Browning's Brewery used to occupy. Part of the Slugger Field complex along the Mississippi River, its brews have snarky names such as Citra Ass Down IPA, Scotland Charred, Quiet Rye-It, Dilator (oak-aged Doppelbock), Half-Hearted Pale Ale and London Balling (a bourbon-barreled barleywine). I've yet to visit this brewery. But below is the review of the now-defunct Brownings.

Visited historic Churchill Downs, June '04, prior to heading downtown for admirable
BROWNING’S BREWERY, located at Louisville Slugger Field’s spacious mall. Browning’s Eileen Martin was one of only a few female head brewers in America (along with Bastone’s Kim Schneider). But Rey Miller took over dutues in '08, bringing new recipes onboard.
Well-hopped brews seemed to stand out most prominently. Lively citric-honeyed
Blonde; caramelized herbal tea-like
Red Ale; spicy-bottomed rye-induced
ESB; barley-toasted walnut-roasted perfume-spiced
Nut Brown; and dark-spiced wheat-cracked moderation
Vanilla Cream Ale benefited from crisp hop bittering.
Remarkable lactose-sweet, chocolate-coffee-stained, cereal grain-toasted
Oatmeal Stout made fine dessert.
