This is microbrewery with good beer and even better food. They also have the Enchanted Forest and Grain Haus just behind it where they have a huge number of beer taps and an outdoor event space where they often host mini-festivals. Very worth a visit.

Neighborhoods

This is the coolest neighborhood in Louisville. (NULU is a close second.) There are great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, parks, boutiques, murals, etc. You can spend a few hours walking up and down the streets eating, drinking, and taking it all in. I've been here nearly a decade and I still love doing just that.

This is personally my favorite park in the whole city. You can walk, hike, run, mountain bike on the 2.4 loop or through the trails. There are also multiple pavilions for cookouts, basketball courts, playgrounds, and a 9-hole golf course.

A short 40 minute drive from the house and you can get out into a beautifully kept arboretum where groups, couples, and family can all enjoy. The most interesting recent inhabitants of the forest are the giants...

Bourbon Trail

If you are planning to do ANY Bourbon Trail visits, book at least THREE MONTHS in advance, otherwise, you may not be doing any tours. It's not as cool to tour the distilleries from the outside. :/
