The New Albanian Brewing Company, located in New Albany, Indiana, is a microbrewery. It was once rated sixth in the world according to Ratebeer.com.[2][3] There are two locations in New Albany. The first location houses the company's original brewery, a pizzeria, and a public house. The second location is a brasserie with a larger brewery attached to it. [4]

Brewery

The brewery was officially brewing in October 2002 and was incorporated in 1994 as the New Albanian Brewing Company in a room that branches off of Sportstime Pizza.[5] The brewery was established by Roger Baylor his former wife Amy (O'Connell) Baylor and her sister Kate O'Connell.[6] It is the first commercial brewery in New Albany since 1935.[7] The first brewmaster was Michael Borchers who brought experience and used machines from the now defunct Silver Creek Brewing Corporation that was located in Sellersburg, Indiana. Jesse Williams and Jared Williamson are the current brewers. Veteran Louisville Craft Brewer David R. Pierce joined New Albanian Brewing Company in April 2009 as Director of Brewing Operations.[8] [9]

In 2005, 14,000 gallons of beer were produced by the brewery, and with the new additions, the planned output for 2007 is double the 2005 amount.[10] In 2009, a second brewery opened on Bank Street in New Albany. The new location has more than doubled prior production, and has led the way to regional distribution.

Rich O's and Sportstime Pizza

While the brewery was officially founded in 2002, Rich O's (the public house) and Sportstime Pizza (the pizzeria) have operated prior to its inception. The establishment began in 1987 with Sportstime Pizza and it has slowly expanded since.[7] The establishment was originally a Noble Roman's franchise operated by Rich and Sharon O'Connell, parents of Amy and Kate O'Connell and the namesake of Rich O's Public House.[6] Rich O's opened in 1990 under Amy O'Connell's control. Roger Baylor was hired in 1992[11], and was soon to married Amy. The marriage did not last, but the business relationship did. The businesses of Rich O's and Sportstime are co-owned by beer master Roger, and Kate and Amy, the daughters of Sharon and Rich O'Connell.[6] For a brief period in the late 1980s a second location, "Sportstime II," was located on Vincennes Street in New Albany, across from New Albany High School.

Rich O's Public House offers 648 different beers to its customers in addition to its own beers.[5] However, they refuse to serve light beer, deigning that as "unfit for human consumption."[12] In addition to refusing to serve light beer, the company is strongly against mass-marketed domestic beer.

Sportstime Pizza has regular varieties of pizza, in addition to many specialties, such as the "refrigerator" style. They also offer alternative sauces for their pizza such as ranch, pesto, and barbecue. One of their other wildly popular products is their Beer Cheese.

The differences between Sportstime and Rich O's are mainly aesthetic, as the establishments share the same tiny kitchen and offer the same food and drink menus.

Located near Indiana University Southeast and only across the river from the University of Louisville, the NABC is frequented by students and faculty of both schools.
