Every year, the lineup for Bourbon & Beyond makes me shriek with excitement — and this year’s lineup was no different. Did I still do the unthinkable, and take my hormonal, fragile ass to a music festival? For the uninitiated, Bourbon & Beyond is a four-day bourbon, food and music festival at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky. Saturday was without a doubt the best day of the festival for music lovers (or at least for me). Without knowing it then, I wrapped up my 2025 Bourbon & Beyond experience by seeing the Pixies in what felt like a fever dream of aching feet and sleepiness.
