Hey Nick. I've never been, and you've probably already looked at BA & RB, but if not, you might find these guides helpful:

Looks like both sites agree that Sergio's World Beers, Louisville Beer Store, Nachbar, and the Hurstbourne Liquor Barn are the top spots in the city. Cheers!

So Louisville has a strong beer scene and it seems to be growing!! Had very little time to get around to all the locations but hit 3 places of serious note.
1. The Louisville Beer Store-Great store in the east village area with mostly single bottle selection ranging between 300-500 selection. Very knowledgeable staff more than willing to help and chat about beer. Also 8-12 draft lines to sample some of the feature beers.
2. The Holy Grale- Newer beer bar owned by the same team at Louisville Beer Store. Great Bar with 30 taps plus a new cask system which I missed by one week. Food was good and the menu compact more snack like food (Brie and Smoked Bacon Hotdog) than a full menu.
3. Valu Market- Just down from Holy Grale is a huge Grocery store, that has a large walk in cooler with singles and 6-packs of a broad selection of Craft beers. Also they do Growlers (8-12) but weren't pouring while I was there.
All in all Louisville had a good craft beer scene with many brewpubs and other bars (Sergio's) that I couldn't make, but I'll be sure to hit them up next time
