<\/p>\n
Last month, we told you that one of the\u00a0very best beers<\/a>\u00a0we had during Three Floyds\u2019 annual Dark Lord Day 2018<\/a>\u00a0festivities came from a brewery that technically<\/em> doesn\u2019t exist yet.<\/p>\n But now, Louisville-based\u00a0Burning Foot Brewing<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is taking steps to officially open next year.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve launched a crowd-funding initiative via\u00a0Indiegogo<\/a>, with a goal of raising $50,000 over the next two months. That\u2019s a small part of the overall funding they\u2019ll put toward a farm-to-table brewpub to be located in central Louisville. Co-owner Nick Clark, a chef, plans to put that culinary background to use at the new brewpub, with locally-sourced ingredients and utilizing an on-site garden, as well.<\/p>\n Burning Foot is the result of three friends \u2013Clark, Ed Higginbotham and Erik Vaught – who began homebrewing on a 5-gallon system in their garage. As they shared their goods with friends, they realized they may be onto something worth sharing to a broader audience.<\/p>\n That led them to bring backpacks filled with their 12oz bottles to Northwest Indiana for this year’s Dark Lord weekend \u2013 sampling them out at a local hotel and at the fest itself. As those bottles made their way around the region, a buzz was quietly growing about \u201cthose guys from Louisville.\u201d<\/p>\n Since then, they\u2019ve zoomed up the\u00a0Untappd ratings<\/a>, as they\u2019re now the fourth-highest ranked brewery in the U.S.<\/strong>, just behind Pip\u2019s Meadery, Schramm\u2019s Meadery and 3 Sons Brewing. Per Untappd<\/a>, a brewery “must have at least 1000 ratings and at least 5 beers in their portfolio to quality for this list.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We sampled their Thoroughbrewd, a maple-coffee stout aged with bourbon-soaked oak chips, as well as S\u2019morgasbord, a macadamia\/marshmallow\/dark chocolate stout. Both are 22% – they say they\u2019re brewing beer to be shared with friends \u2013 and both were ridiculously good.<\/p>\n Now, they\u2019re turning to fans who want more of the ridiculously good stuff, to complement other investments. Campaign perks start as low as $25, and range from Burning Foot Brewing t-shirts to teku glasses to brewing your own beer on site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Burning Foot Brewing — not open yet but already the nation’s 4th best brewery on Untappd — is asking for a bit of help via an Indiegogo campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":27893,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[2130],"yoast_head":"\n
