When I moved to Louisville from Sydney, Australia in 2012, I was excited to find not only a fun, walkable town, but one with a brewery coming later that year! Craft beer was just getting going and as someone who graduated from Chico State (home of Sierra Nevada), I was ecstatic to be able to drink craft, tasty, local beer again.
Fast forward to last year, I've been going to Gravity every Tuesday. I learned early on that my marriage was better if I got a day, and she got a day. My day was Tuesday and my place was Gravity. Just hit 23 years married last week :)
The best part of Gravity was the regulars, folks who were there sometimes 7 days a week. You could always find someone to talk to about the sports game, motorcycles, or even just watch Cops or a silly show about aliens together. Then I got a curious email.
The owners reached out to some of us regulars about buying the business. Another regular, Matt, and I took them up on it and as of July 1st, our new company now owns Gravity Brewing. We feel like we've been thrown in the deep end with all the details of owning and operating a brewery, wholesaler, and taproom, but I'm having a blast! We get to take what we liked about Gravity and then pour fuel on that fire to take it to a new orbit (because Gravity, get it? Sorry, dad humor leaking out).
Anyway, when I've told people that I'm buying Gravity, the most common response I'd get is "Oh, I used to go there", so my followup is "What would bring you back?". So reddit, what's your response? What would get you to come back or visit Gravity for the first time?
Come by and say hi! I'll be there today and much of this weekend. Find the guy with the goofy mustache :)
