NABC tonight and tomorrow, in and out of town -- World Cup 2014 edition.


As a preface to the weekend event calendar, kindly permit me to begin with another reminder about NABC's World Cup Trilogy for 2014: USA vs. Ghana, Portugal and Germany. The fun begins on Monday at both NABC locations, with the release of Citra Passion Ale (USA vs. Ghana).

NABC honors the World Cup with three fresh, new beers honoring the three national football squads facing the USA in Group G of the opening round: Ghana, Portugal and Germany. Beginning on June 16, 2014, the beers will debut as the American squad’s opening matches are played. There’ll be many places in metro Louisville to view these contests — but how many of them created and brewed three new beers as specific accompaniment to the beautiful game, and the world’s biggest sporting event?

Just NABC. Do you see what local can do?

USA vs. Ghana – Citra Passion Ale
Release: Monday, June 16, at both NABC locations (Bank Street Brewhouse opens at 5 p.m.)

USA vs. Portugal – “Super Bock”
Release: Sunday, June 22 at Bank Street Brewhouse (Monday, June 23 at the Pizzeria & Public House)

USA vs. Germany – Sticke Alt
Release: Thursday, June 26, at both NABC locations (Bank Street Brewhouse opens at noon)

Now, the crowded weekend slate.
