Falls City Beer

Head into the Phoenix Hill neighborhood to Louisville’s oldest, still-operating brewery: Falls City Beer. In fact, Falls City began brewing in 1905 and survived Prohibition, only to close in 1978. Luckily for Louisville, the new taproom opened in 2018, and Falls City is producing beer once again. If you enjoy competition with your beer, consider organizing a team for their Wednesday night trivia league.
