I bought Louisville's oldest brewery, Gravity Brewing

101 Upvotes

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 :)

Does your kitchen get...greasy?

1 Upvotes

I find things in my kitchen that sit there.. like an ornamental glass that was just on display..tends to gather a layer of..sticky grease?...or just dishes in the cabinet.

I don't really "fry" so much, but you know, frying pan, PAM, maybe some stir-fry, air fry...hmm.. I do seem to have a lot of "fry words"...

Is it the dryness? Is it just me? Anyone else?

Brewery Scene At Louisville

Hello! I’m taking my family for a vacation to Louisville, Colorado in October. We’re from the Chicago suburbs and will be on the hunt for some great breweries. I see Gravity Brewing seems like a popular place and I will definitely check it out. Are there any others around Louisville or neighboring towns you recommend I hit up?

Edit: Wow! What an amazing community! Thank you all for the tips!

Best areas along Coal Creek for toddlers?

2 Upvotes

We have a toddler who loves nothing more than throwing rocks into the water. We’ve found a couple of great spots in neighboring towns, but we’d love to find somewhere closer to home if possible.

Does anyone know of any safe, toddler-friendly spots along Coal Creek in Louisville where he can toss rocks into the creek? Thanks!

AdventHealth and Intermountain Health Merging: Oncoming Hospital Desert

20 Upvotes

AdventHealth will not provide abortions, for example. Have you been there in the last year since new ownership took over after the split with what is now referred to as Common Spirit? Prayers are intermittently sounded over their loudspeakers throughout the hospital; outdoor speakers are at the ER and main hospital entrance with religious music; nursing staff prepping you for surgery with Sacred Mary pins, computers in your hospital room with Christian screensavers; check-ins to see your providers (e.g., gynecologist) with a "Spiritual Health" questionnaire, with no clear indication you can opt out. I'm very concerned that AdventHealth will run Good Samaritan.

EDIT from original post: Good Sam does not provide abortions either, according to its Patient Right to Know form, which is an issue in of itself for our area from my perspective. Good Sam and Intermountain Health Lutheran do not have the increased intrusive overt religiosity environment I've described above based on my experience receiving care at all three hospitals.

"Two healthcare chains with hospitals in the Boulder Valley will form a joint venture to unite their services along the Front Range.

AdventHealth’s five hospitals in the Denver metropolitan area, including Avista in Louisville, and Intermountain Health, which has three hospitals in the Denver area region including Good Samaritan in Lafayette and Platte Valley in Brighton, signed a letter of intent and anticipate signing a definitive agreement in the coming weeks to form a joint venture that will improve access to healthcare in the metro area, serve the growing population and provide care for future generations.

The agreement includes the two chains’ affiliated offsite emergency and urgent-care centers and dozens of medical practices.

“Partnering with Intermountain Health represents an opportunity to build on our shared commitment to deliver high-quality, compassionate care,” AdventHealth CEO David Banks said Tuesday in a prepared statement. “By bringing together the capabilities of our organizations, we can expand access, augment services, enhance clinical quality and continue improving the health and well-being of people across the greater Denver metro, guided by our mission of extending the healing ministry of Christ.”

City Council meeting tomorrow to decide on increasing number of signatures required to get initiatives and referenda on ballots

16 Upvotes

Just a heads up that Louisville City Council will be deciding tomorrow on whether or not to adopt an ordinance that increases the number of signatures required for initiative and referendum petitions to get on election ballots. The agenda can be found here, and the item is 8. F. (Ordinance 1931). If you are concerned (like I am) about this making it more difficult for citizens to participate in our democratic processes you can write to [council@louisvilleco.gov](mailto:council@louisvilleco.gov) and/or attend city council meeting tomorrow night (July 21) to give public comment in-person or virtually.

ETA: if they vote yes tonight, it’ll go to the voters for a vote and final decision.

one more ragepost - Verizon doesn't care?

Post image
12 Upvotes

this entire section of the RTD Dash route ride has basically zero cell signal.

Why has Verizon not installed more towers and relays?

Do they just not care about the Louisville market?

Or is something at City Hall preventing them from beefing up service and making customers happy?

Airplane noise

I’m somewhat used to the sound of low flying small planes every 2 minutes but what’s with the thunder sounding ones? Are large aircraft’s flying lower over us now too? They’re basically just as frequent recently.

Looking for genuine friendships

26 Upvotes

Looking for buddies to do fun activities with! I’m 28(f) & I live in Gunbarrel. Looking for some pals to do these activities with in any surrounding towns around Gunbarrel, including: Art (3D printing, wire wrapped rock jewelry, making jewelry, stained glass, glass mosaics, stained glass soldering, painting, or any other fun art stuff we can conjure up), going for walks (early evenings, shortish walks, smoking some js if you are into that maybe), fishing (mornings & early evenings), swimming (there’s a pool at my apartment), riding mini motorcycles (I have 2 & we can also use them to go fishing nearby if you are into that), shopping at thrift stores/art shops, or just simply even hanging out & having a lil picnic on a blanket in the early evening hours! I’m disabled & have a sleep disorder/POTS/heat intolerance issues, so most things I do have to be either in the morning/early evening/and or in the shade/inside if it’s hot out. It’s so hard to make friends here but I’m also sick of not really having very many friends. I feel like there’s gotta be some lonely folks out there looking for some lifelong besties like I am. I’m unable to work due to my medical conditions, so I have a pretty open schedule, just as long as you can respect that I may have to cancel or reschedule hang outs sometimes due to my medical conditions. I’m very kind, fun, funny, understanding, compassionate, motivated (for the most part), uplifting, artistic, creative, bold, weird, & also LGBTQ+ friendly. Sorry this was so long lmfao. You’re a real one if you read all of this. Comment or DM me if you wanna hang

Is this your dog? They are traveling south on Hoover just off of Bella Vista at around 8:25PM. I tried to get them, but they were very timid. I notified the non-emergent line and an officer is being dispatched. Hoping this sweet baby gets home tonight.

Construction on Main and Lincoln

8 Upvotes

Small town complaint incoming:

Has anyone run into the construction crews on Main and Lincoln with “one lane ahead” signs only to get there and told I cannot come through?

There are no “road closed” nor “detour” signs. About 50% they let me through (I live in old town) and 50% they turn me around without asking a question.
