Against the Grain Brewery & Smokehouse will sling its last brisket on Saturday, Feb. 4. After nearly 12 years, the restaurant and award-winning craft brewery — which just won the 2023 Restaurateur of the Year award — is trading out its smoker for burgers.

The new menu rolls out on Monday, Feb. 6 and will focus on house-grind burgers, gourmet hot dogs, and wraps — don’t worry, the pork belly on a stick isn’t going anywhere.

The BBQ isn’t the only thing saying bye, bye, bye.STAHP Against the Grain will drop “smokehouse” from the name to become Against the Grain Public House, which will align with its Bardstown Road location of the same name.
What we’ll cry a BBQ sauce tear is this something folks will recognize? i have perosnally never heard it. maybe swap for "tear in our BBQ sauce"?for:

Kentucky Burgoo — if you know, you know they did it right
Pork rinds — that lime juice sizzle ASMR
The Pit Experience — a tasting of all the BBQ menu items that feeds up to five people
Weisenberger grits — so tangy, so cheesy

What we’re excited to try:

El Guapo burger topped with house-stewed birria, pepper jack cheese, pickled jalapeno, onion, and rancho sauce
Meat on Meat Crime Dog made with an all-beef hot dog, braised beef, beer cheese, and bacon crumbles
Root beer float with 35K milk stout

What will remain the same:

A few menu items: pub pretzel, beer cheese, brussels sprouts, vegan black chili, slaw, potato salad, and the aforementioned pork belly on a stick
Rotating selection of draft and canned beers
