Any excuse to visit the L&N Wine Bar and Bistro is sufficient, but when combined with a visit and beers by the Schlafly beer team, it’s something not to be missed.
Which brings us to the forthcoming Schlafly Beer Dinner at the L & N on Tuesday, November 13 ... and here’s the menu.

Starting time is 7:00 p.m. The price is $45 plus tax and gratuity, and reservations can be made by calling the restaurant at 502-897-0070.
The following day (Nov. 14), presumably sated and having made all their required promotional visits and sales stops, the Schlafly crew will reassemble at Bearno’s Little Sicily (Highlands branch on Bardstown Road) to unveil Schlafly’s 2007 Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout, about which the brewery has this to say:
This beer is our interpretation of a classic style. Around the time of the Louisiana Purchase, beer was not the mass-produced, light lager that most people consume today. Beer was darker in color, full-flavored, aggressively hopped, and had a high initial gravity. All of these characteristics would have helped the beer to remain fresh during extended periods at warmer temperatures while it was shipped in wooden barrels. If one had been lucky enough to receive a used Bourbon barrel full of Imperial Stout, this is what their happy taste buds would have encountered: roasty, rich, malty Imperial Stout with a strong dose of caramel, oak, and Bourbon character.
The Bearno’s event starts at 8:00 p.m., with the 2007 vintage on hand as advertised, as well as “a few bottles of last year's vintage.”
