Five Ways To Support Louisville Breweries During Dry JanuarY

Need a break? Participating in Dry January? There's nothing wrong with that! Here are five simple ways you can still support breweries during this time.
​
  1. Buy Merch!: Buying branded merchandise like t-shirts, hats, or glassware is a fantastic way to show your support. It provides the brewery with direct revenue and helps advertise when you use or wear their merchandise. 
  2. Gift Cards: Purchasing gift cards to give to friends or family, or even to use yourself later in the year, is another excellent way to support a brewery. It provides immediate financial support to the business.
  3. Attend Events (and tell your friends about them): Many breweries host events that don't center around beer releases, such as trivia nights, live music, or food events. Attending these can bring in business during slower months. 
  4. Promote Their NA Menu: Between NA beers, kombucha, and hop water, many taprooms now offer non-alcoholic options. You can enjoy them and promote them online or in your friend group, helping the taproom maintain a flow of customers who might be participating in Dry January with you.
  5. Engage Their Social Media: Sharing, liking, and commenting on the brewery's social media posts can increase their visibility and attract more customers. Also, leaving positive reviews online can help draw new customers in the future.

Mile Wide Beer Company's 7th anniversary is this weekend! To help celebrate, here are seven fun facts about the Phoenix Hill brewery: 

  1. Bob Dylan once played a concert in the parking lot (in 2003, before they were open).
  2. The building was originally part of a Pillsbury factory, where biscuits transitioned from grain in the silos to finished frozen biscuits.
  3. You might already know that Mile Wide is named for the largest width of the Ohio River. Co-owner Matt Landon’s background also happens to be in building bridges.
  4. Their building once housed The Silo, Louisville’s very first brewery in “the modern era" (1992).
  5. In 2017, Mile Wide established itself as a pioneer of Hazy IPA with the release of Tessie, one the highest rated beers to date. 
  6. Co-Owners Scott and Kyle both hail from previous adventures at Schlafly Brewing.
  7. Their weekly trivia (every Thursday) is hosted by Jeopardy-winner Evan Roberts.

In these seven years, Mile Wide has not only served great beer but also created a space where stories are shared, history is celebrated, and community is strengthened. Here's to Mile Wide Beer Company, a beacon of craft brewing and community spirit. Cheers to many more years of success, innovation, and delightful brews!
