Kentucky could easily be considered the festival capital of the country, thanks to its numerous fun-filled events held throughout the year. We love to celebrate in the Bluegrass State and we will gather together in the name of food, cars, music, bourbon, and this March – craft beer. If you are at all familiar with the craft beer scene in Kentucky, then hopefully you’ve already heard of Tailspin Ale Fest in Louisville. This March festival is held inside a historic airport hanger and it’s an absolute blast. Tickets will sell out, so take a closer look and make plans to visit this exciting beer festival in Kentucky.
Tailspin Ale Fest returns to Louisville this year as the top local beer festival in Kentucky.
