BoomBozz coming to Veterans Parkway (Jeffersonville side).

I'll never be a "concept creator."

Everything I do in business is for the long haul, whether successful or not.

But Tony Palombino simply does great work, and the BoomBozz on Eastern Parkway was an instant classic the day it opened. The pizza is wonderful, and thanks largely to the daily creativity of wordpress.com/2013/06/08/chilling-with-michael-beckmann-at-boombozz-taphouse/">Michael Beckmann, the beer selection is ever varied while remaining anchored to local and regional breweries.

I've no doubt the BoomBozz on Veterans Parkway will not only transcend the depressing chain-think prevalent in the vicinity, but be a craft beer destination in its own right. That's good by me.

Boombozz Pizza and Taphouse opening new location in Jeffersonville in August, by Steve Coomes (Insider Louisville)

Mid-August is the projected opening of the newest Boombozz Pizza & Taphouse, a 6,000-square-foot, 195-seater with a large bar and patio area located in the Jeffersonville Town Center on Veterans Parkway.

Concept creator and franchisor Tony Palombino said he and franchisee Rich Cleaves negotiated almost a year to get the rights to lease the building, which formerly housed a Beef O’ Brady’s restaurant.

Kickstart LouBrew at BoomBozz.

Jeremy Rathfon wants to be a nanobrewer. In his own words (copied from Kickstart), here's the plan:

LouBrew will be a local “nanobrewery”, brewing up concoctions on a single barrel system (that’s 31 gallons or two kegs! truly nano!), where we will maintain ideals of superior hand-crafted ales and lagers. Our mission is to provide a complete rotating variety of specialty and seasonal beers with a local flavor to the Louisville area. Ideally we will be located in the Germantown area of Louisville in the heart of an ever expanding neighborhood that prides great beer and good eats.

LouBrew will be the smallest brewery in Louisville upon startup allowing us the freedom to explore many interesting and unique styles of brew.

LouBrew will create a taproom onsite at our brewery, where beer lovers will be able to come in, taste our great beer, and take a gander at where and how we create our delicious brews. If our space allows we will love to have an outdoor patio for outdoor seating, an occasional grill-out, and a fire pit to warm-up by. We will be holding regular polls and surveys where our beer fans can vote on what brews we’ll cook up next. We also plan to attend all of the great beer festivals around town, including Brew at the Zoo, Louisville Craft Beer Week, and Oktoberfest. You can always expect from us twists on classic styles, extreme flavors, seasonal favorites, and innovative recipes brewed with a hand-crafted single barrel spirit.

An important element of all our beers will be the use of the highest quality ingredients sourced as much as possible from surrounding regional growers and suppliers. Examples of locally sourced ingredients include KY Hosey’s Honey, KY winery pinot noir barrels, KY bourbon oak barrels, and KY grown organic hops.

Also in Jeremy's own words, here's what BoomBozz is doing to help:

Boombozz Highlands Taphouse will be hosting a benefit for LouBrew next Thursday, July 21st, 5:00 p.m. to close. $1 of every local pour goes to LouBrew's Kickstarter! Help Kickstart a new Louisville brewery! If you can't make it, would like more info, or would like to pledge before the event, check out our Kickstarter, every $1 helps!

Quick shout-out to BoomBozz Taphouse.

Diligent reader RC sent this view of the beer board at BoomBozz (Highlands location, corner of Bardstown Road & Eastern Parkway). There is excellent local craft beer exposure therein, and loads of support for the cause from the BoomBozz team. All we have to do is get that Stella outta there ... but seriously, thanks to the folks at BoomBozz for all they're doing to further local brewing culture.

NABC Solidarity with meat-laden pizza, tonight at BoomBozz.

NABC Solidarity will be tapped at BoomBozz Taphouse tonight (Wednesday, December 16), and my thoughts have turned to pizza options to accompany my jar.

Currently personal tastes are running toward garlic cream sauce, bacon, anchovies and prosciutto. That's because Baltic Porters typically like meat, and the more strongly flavored flesh, the better. If BoomBozz had duck or venison on the menu, I'd try them. However, it's a gourmet pizza menu, which does just fine by me, and choices need not be restricted to meat.

I believe that our Solidarity can be taught to co-exist quite well with garlic, so I may add fresh garlic to the pie, too.

Cabbage roll pizza, anyone?

NABC Solidarity will be tapped at BoomBozz Taphouse on Wednesday, December 16.
