Kentucky Commons Podcast

In this bonus episode of Kentucky Commons Radio Hour, John Ronayne sits down with Tisha Gainey and Trevor Cravens, co-founders and operators of Tailspin Ale Fest, at Against the Grain Public House. Tailspin Ale Fest 2022 returns March 5! www.tailspinalefest.com

Kentucky has been known for offering the finest spirits, but recently, there is another liquid emerging that embodies all of the artisanal qualities that make us so proud of our state. The American Craft Beer movement is in full force and Kentucky is well on its way to making its mark on this industry with an emerging craft beer scene. TailSpin Ale Fest seeks to further this cause by providing a premier festival for the craft brewer and craft beer drinker in the Kentuckiana Region while raising funds and awareness to support HOP Foundation

All paid attendees will receive a souvenir tasting glass. Food served by local food trucks will be available for purchase. The festival also features live music, plane displays, and KY Heritage Section. VIP Attendees will receive an hour early entry, one food voucher plus a Tailspin Ale Fest souvenir.
