Check out the Irish Rover's seasonal house beers, brewed for the pub by NABC.


Robin Garr reviews the Irish Rover, a fixture on Frankfort Avenue in Louisville:

Irish Rover takes us to the Emerald Isle

if you want warm and welcoming Irish style in Louisville, you can’t improve on the Irish Rover, the amiable eatery that has become an indelible part of the Frankfort Avenue landscape since 1993.

Precisely, although it bears noting that for several months now, in addition to the requisite Guinness, the Rover has been pouring its own house brand, Celtic Craic. It is an export-style stout, heavier than Guinness but not approaching "imperial" strength, and is being brewed exclusively for the Rover by NABC.

As the weather gets warmer, the Rover will transition from their house stout to a golden lager, also brewed by NABC, which tentatively is to be called The Parting Glass. Expect an Irish-style red ale (name TBA) to follow suit in autumn, after which Celtic Craic will rejoin the lineup for winter.

We've really enjoyed working with Michael and Jason on these beers, so if you follow Robin's advice and stop by the Rover, see if one of them is on tap.
