Saw where UK has a nil beer brand

[Kybluedude]

Gravely Brewery in Lou developed a Beer exclusively for UK nil.

Hope it’s a big seller!

Where were those Lex breweries?

Now get to Heaven Hill- a Ky owned distillery and get an affordable goodUK bourbon! They do a great job! Lots of good affordable products.

 

[*CatinIL*]

I will be supporting UK NIL via Gravely Brewery.

If Club Blue can also get Bourbon NIL deal then UK will have zero issue getting NIL money going forward.

The Beer deal is a nice step just wish it was a Lexington brewery and not Louisville.

If they end up putting "Blue Light" in cans, they better be real careful with the artwork. You don't want Anheuser-Busch coming down on you.

And as an FYI - the same brewery has a "Cardinale".

 

[Short-Dawg-69]

Big Blue Brew would have been a cool name.
I will support this project

All you UK fan alcoholics know what beer to buy!

Now if we could get Pepsi or coke to make a blue colored cola so we all could help uk's nil fund

Dam Country Boy out of Lex isn't doing anything? Love their beer. Like Graverly too here in Louisville.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

I like Gravely so this is a win-win.

Should've called it BBN Big Brew Nation

Disappointing it's only available in light.
Not a fan of light beer

 

[Kybluedude]

Mark Stoops has a bourbon company. Get an affordable good BBN Bourbon! Help yourself Mark!

Try it before you knock it. Its like 4.6 abv so light in name only. Its actually very good and would appeal to any light or full bodied lager drinker.

Suck it up and drink it... you buying that 6 pack might be the difference on signing a recruit or not

I think RC makes it but there is Big Blue and Big Red. Neither are very good.

The founder of Gravely is a huge UK fan and a member of HOB on here. Awesome that he's doing this. I'll be finding some and making it a tailgate staple this fall.

maybe this will spur some of the Lexington Brewery's to get on board as well. the Country Boy people tailgated real close to us in the now under construction grove by the Orange lot. I just spent Saturday going around to Lexington Breweries getting a flight at each for my Birthday. It's a tradition I started last year by doing the same in Louisville. I didn't make it to Country Boy. I hit my limit at the 6th stop. Hit Ethereal, Burl Brew, Blue Stallion, West 6th, Rock House (probably my fave), then Mirror Twin.

Dude post on House of Blue. Idk if he frequents the free boards or not n

Yeah, I think he was trying to target a broad audience both male and female. Hoping UK fans will kick Bud and Bud Light to the curb for it.

 

[Kycatspaws]

Mmmm Good!

I need to give the Lex breweries more attention apparently. Im a big West Sixth fan but haven't been able to explore many others in Lex other than Country Boy.

Gravely, Ten20, West Sixth, Falls City have been my go-to's in Louisville for a few years now.

 

[yoshukai]

So is this what they will sell at the ball games ? Naw, that would make too much sense.

 

[Fox2monk]

It would be Pepsi for sure, Coke is red themed and Pepsi is already blue so it works.

That’s awesome! Every Cat fan who enjoys a brewski should support this business.

Knowing how legal happy IMG is they probably have BBN trademarked and would sue them. They would probably make them pay to license it.

We need a distillery to start selling blue curaçao or blue-tinted white dog (the clear stuff they put into barrels to make bourbon).

I seem to recall that Maker's has a steady supply of commemorative Kentucky bottles. Could be an option there. Personally, I love that a Louisville company is making this beer. While I'd love to pick up a blue shotgun wedding or blue cougar... Shoot fire, that's actually perfect... Maybe Blue Catbait? Anyway, while I'd love a Lexington brand to make the beer, I love that we keep finding ways to remind Louisville fans that half their city doesn't give a damn about the cardinals. The fact that one of the premier breweries is killing it for us on the NIL trail is so, so sweet.


Maybe Blue Stallion could do a specialty beer. So many options, but we definitely need a bourbon for those of us who enjoy sours, sips, shots, and the occasional old fashioned.

Didn't he have the Louisville version of a beer first?

I picked up a couple 6 packs today

I’m not a beer nut. As far as light beer I buy Modelo.

What’s your expert review of Gravely’s Ky Light? Comparable to ?

Haven't tried it yet. I am expecting something like Bud Light or Coors Light. I did see where some have said they thought it was close to a Miller Light which would be like Bud or Coors Light though I like Miller less than the other two.

Pop one yet? How is it?

 

[SkyPrince1]

Pop one yet? How is it?

It will probably be better than macro light beers because it's craft light beer.
It will also have more calories, I think it's 4.6 abv.
Probably closer to Sam Adams light or the old Michelob light.

I had it yesterday at a restaurant in NKY. I thought it was really good very crisp and light.

If I can find it in stores I'll likely start buying it moving forward. For a good cause of course

There is a Louisville Cardinal beer but it’s not Gravely.

Bought two 6 packs at Liquor Barn on Friday. They were in the refrigerator section. None out on the shelf.

There is a Louisville Cardinal beer but it’s not Gravely.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Louisville Athletics and Gravely Brewing Company are pleased to announce a partnership for the release of "Cardinale," the new Official Craft Beer of the Louisville Cardinals.

Cardinale is a crisp, light-bodied Blonde Ale (4.8% ABV) that's available now at Gravely Brewing's taproom, and will be available at numerous retail points of sale – including locally at Kroger, Liquor Barn and various restaurants – later this month. More information on locations for purchase will be released soon.

Cardinale will also be available at UofL's home athletic venues, including at the first home football game against Murray State on Sept. 7 at L&N Stadium.

"We are thrilled to share this partnership with Gravely Brewing and introduce Cardinale as our Official Craft Beer of the Louisville Cardinals," UofL Director of Athletics Josh Heird said. "Gravely knows Louisville, and they know Card Nation. Our fans are the most passionate in college sports. They have high standards and understand the value of a quality product – Gravely is no different. Cardinale is another point of pride for all of us as we toast the Cards and cheer them on this season."

The can art for Cardinale features the iconic "Heisman Bird" logo to kick off football season, while additional collectable can variations will be coming soon.

In addition to producing the official licensed craft beer, Gravely's partnership with LEARFIELD and Louisville Sports Properties will include in-venue promotion across UofL's sports programs, advertising and promotion on the UofL Sports Radio Network, digital advertising and social media promotions.

Gravely Brewing Company is a family owned and operated brewery and taproom that includes indoor/outdoor seating, skyline views and a music venue.

Gravely opened in 2017 and just celebrated its sixth anniversary. It's the most decorated brewery in Kentucky, including multiple medals at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup.

"UofL Athletics has always been a leader in creating unique and memorable fan experiences and we are ecstatic to partner with them to create Cardinale, a craft beer Cards fans will love. Ale's Up!" said Nathaniel Gravely, Owner/Founder of Gravely Brewing Company.
