Read about all the breweries coming to Louisville and environs.
Craft beer industry has room to grow in Louisville area, by David A. Mann (Business First)
Well, read part of it; my complimentary media subscription apparently hasn't been processed. The "by the numbers" list is instructive.
Now, read about all the breweries coming to Indianapolis ...
Explosive growth of craft breweries may saturate Indy's beer market, by Chris Sikich (IndyStar)
... assuming you have articles remaining behind THAT paywall. Jesus, this used to be easy (see "complimentary" preceding). Next, contemplate the possibility of saturation. Optimist or pessimist? Back here in Louisville, Great Flood Brewing looks to be next.
Great Flood Set To Open Floodgates, Begin Brewing 'This Week' (Eater Louisville)
You're lucky to be in Louisville, guys. Here in Floyd County, the health department already would be planning a SWAT infiltration to guard against any possibility of fun -- as they may be doing as Rick Otey gets Donum Dei nearer to fruition. He'd get more done if he didn't spend so much time at Gravity Head ... but the list isn't finished yet.
From Bridles to Beer: Leather craftsman Ralph Quillin is opening Paris brewery, by Liane Crossley (Kyforward)
Paris is a few miles northeast of Lexington, and I can only hope that quite soon, other Kentucky towns named for place in Europe get their own breweries: Verona, Florence, Newcastle, Sligo, Warsaw and maybe even Versailles.

Is West Sixth IPA is Kentucky’s best beer? Insider Louisville says "yes."
As a whole, it's a solid overview of the local brewing scene, with emphasis on the state of Kentucky's rapidly evolving craft beer presence.
Tierney's choice for "beer of the year" is West Sixth Brewing Company (Lexington) IPA, and he does a good job of explaining why cans in the contemporary era are not an off-putting development.
It would be churlish of me to quibble with the choice, because West Sixth's IPA is quite good. However, I can hint ever so gently that the prose styling is, well, a wee bit gushy and reads like ad copy.
But that's why I'm a curmudgeon, isn't it?
Why 2012 is the Year of the Beer, and why West Sixth IPA is Kentucky’s best, by Michael Tierney (Insider Louisville)
Put down your gin-and-tonics gents, and grab yourself an IPA, because micro-brew beer drinking was the biggest, yet subtle, trend in Louisville this wonderful year we have to call 2012.
Tierney's choice for "beer of the year" is West Sixth Brewing Company (Lexington) IPA, and he does a good job of explaining why cans in the contemporary era are not an off-putting development.
The Lexington based brewing company has doubled its brewing capacity in less than a year. West Sixth IPA went out in kegs and cans last April, and the demand curve has risen faster than a rocket to the moon.
Why?
Simply, it’s all in the taste.
West Sixth is a refreshing IPA, with a blend of flavor, a wonderful color and a pleasing aroma.
It’s like the beer danced with the fruit of the rainforest, then decided to marry off and settle in a nice 12 oz. aluminum can.
It really is to die for.
