My final night in Kentucky and the plans were to do it big. I wanted to start the night off at the newly opened Falls City Taproom. Falls City is one of my favorite local beers and it had been months since I had one. The plan was to get a group of people together and enjoy the evening before we went to see our friends in the band Houndmouth perform a hometown show at Headliners.
I was with my former roommate and his girlfriend at first due to some last minute backouts. Hellbent on checking this place come hell or highwater, we mapquested it(does anyone even use mapquest anymore or is that just a term forever etched in our brains?) and went off the beaten path. I was sure that this place was on Bardstown Road but I was mistaken. It was actually in a little building in what didn’t look like the most densely populated of areas. This was no concern to me.
We headed in and order some sample drinks. There was barely anyone in the place so it didn’t seem weird that the bartender didn’t ask us for cash. But after a few rounds of sample beers and more friends showing up we still we not getting charged. Finally, my friend from California bit the bullet and went and asked the price of the beers. Turns out, the Taproom didn’t have some sort of license or something so they technically weren’t allowed to sell beers. That’s right, this place is so awesome, drinks are FREE.
After feeling we had extended our welcome and Marty’s girlfriend weirding us out by the lack of customers, we headed to Bardstown Rd. before heading to the concert.
