A brewpub: AtG
Two nanos: LouBrew and Flanagan's (from the Coomes article)
Package Brewery: Rob Coffey's venture
Reminds me of the mid90's everywhere but here.

Is the Flanagan's one going to a nano or a brewpub? I assumed as part of Flanagans the latter.
Edit: Thinking back, there were a bunch in that mid 90s era locally too - Hops and Oldenburg and Pipkin off the top of my head.

I didnt forget the Silo so much as I didnt think it lasted that long.

Longer than the other two. The Silo actually lasted until 1997, five years.

I remember them being closed in fall of 95, but that could have been between the two ownership groups. I had some friends in town down from Madison (WI) and I was going to take them to the Silo, but it was closed, so we ended up at BBC instead - which was my first time there. There was an ESB, which IIRC was a staple for a while, which was the first "hoppy" beer I ever loved.

Am I correct in recalling that The Silo was in fact Louisville's first brewpub? I'm pretty sure I remember the guy who made their beer.
I knew the end was near, though, the day I was in there and saw them hauling Bud Light in by the case.

That was the first closing. They reopened fast.
The ESB in question was SOB's ESB named after BBC partner Pat Hagan. I adapted one of Pat's old homebrew recipes and kicked it up a bit.
