Monnik Beer Co

Louisville


Megapopular Monnik is in up-and-coming Schnitzelburg. There are 20 taps – the IPA stands out – in this restrained hipster environment where the beer isn't the only thing that's fabulous. The beer cheese with spent grain bread is so good you should need a prescription for it; and the seared grass-fed burgers are perfect. Bottoms up!
