About Us

A Note From the Owners

Gravity opened in 2012 as the first brewery in Louisville, and the two of us have been regulars since the start. It’s where we’ve met friends, celebrated birthdays, and gathered for the moments that matter. Half the fun is never knowing who you’ll end up sitting next to.

Now it’s ours to look after. We’re proud to keep the legacy going and raise the orbit a little: an easy place to walk into, where the crowd pulls you in and everyone has a seat.

Come find yours.

- Matt & Don

What We Stand For

Five things we hold to.

Build the third place

Before we're a brewery or a bar, we're the place: the spot between home and work where the neighborhood gathers. If a choice makes us more profitable but less welcoming, it's the wrong choice.

Open by default

We share freely: what's working, what we're trying, what we'd do differently next time. No gatekeeping, no silos, no "not my department."

Play, as a team

Have fun, and do it together. We cover for each other without being asked, and hold high standards with care instead of criticism.

Craft the change you seek

If something isn't good enough, whether a recipe, a process, or a wobbly table, it's ours to fix. The quality of everything that leaves the building is everyone's job.

Make room at the table

We widen the circle on purpose. Your job is the person who isn't already taken care of: the newcomer, the one sitting alone. There's always room for one more.

The Crew

Scott Smith

Head Brewer

Scott came to Gravity from San Diego, with years in that city's craft market as Production Manager at Thorn Brewing, Head Brewer at Thorn Street Brewery, and most recently at Green Flash / Alpine Beer. Early on he helped run Ballast Point's Home Brew Mart, which gave him a deep appreciation for the raw materials that make great beer. He runs our brewhouse today.

C.K. Lichenstein

Sales Manager

CK has been involved in craft beer for way longer than he'd care to admit. He got his start volunteering at beer festivals around Portland, then moved into sales. He's worked the craft scene from Free the Hops and The J. Clyde Gastropub to Yellowhammer Brewing and the Alabama Brewers Guild. Since joining Gravity in 2023 he's grown from Sales Representative to Sales Manager, and he's still constantly trying new styles, beers and breweries.

Matt Gorbsky

Owner / Operator

Matt is a home brewer at heart who took the leap to the other side of the bar. His background is in software too (he leads product at Broadcom), but his real happy place is next to a fermenter. He joined Don as co-owner in 2026.

Don Brown

Owner / Operator

Don has called Louisville home since 2012, and also runs Hana Studios just up the street downtown. His background is in software, a career spent building startups, and he took the reins at Gravity in 2026 on a simple bet: that a great neighborhood brewery is really about the table you pull up to.

Where It Began

Who Started It All

John Frazee

John caught the craft beer bug while studying engineering at CU Boulder. With a nudge from his older brother and Colorado's Front Range scene, he turned a longtime home-brewing hobby into Gravity Brewing, opening the doors in 2012.

Ryan Bowers

Ryan brought a background in mechanical and process engineering to the science and craft of brewing, shaped like John by the Boulder and Denver beer scene.
