Made With Pure Tap

The country’s best tap water offers more than just a refreshing drink. In fact, life in Louisville is fueled by Louisville Pure Tap®. Over 24,000 local businesses rely on our award-winning water to provide quality products and services to their customers. The Made With Pure Tap series serves to celebrate those businesses and the contributions they are making to our community every day!

Kern’s Kitchen

A true Kentucky classic, Derby-Pie® has been part of Louisville’s story since 1954. What began as a signature dessert at a small local restaurant has grown into an iconic treat enjoyed far beyond the Commonwealth, without losing its handcrafted roots.

Louisville Vegan Jerky

At the intersection of healthy and delicious, Louisville Vegan Jerky uses top-quality plant-based products and Louisville Pure Tap to make each flavorful, fun recipe.

“Flavor is everything, and Louisville Pure Tap has just a really nice, clean taste to it… it really lets all the other flavors shine on their own.”

Gravely Brewing Co.

Head Brewer Nick Felton explains why he loves using Louisville Pure Tap® for Gravely’s brews.

“One of the really nice things about having high-quality water is that it makes up 95% of the beer itself.”

MozzaPi Artisan Pizza

MozzaPi prides itself on using the highest quality ingredients to craft its signature wood-fired pizzas, focaccia bread, cookies, and pastries.

“Our pizza dough, we only use three ingredients- flour, salt, and water. So, the quality of water is very, very important to what we do here at MozzaPi. Having clean, pure water here in Louisville is absolutely amazing!”

Rabbit Hole Distillery

As we like to say, it takes great water to make great bourbon.

“In addition to the grains, Louisville Pure Tap® is a critical part of what goes into our products. One of the most important things when it comes to water is to make sure that you don’t have iron and sulfur, essentially ingredients that are not good for bourbon production.

Above the Dirt

Above the Dirt, owned by Paula Henson, is a welcoming haven for plant enthusiasts and novices alike. Paula has long dreamed of sharing her passion for plants with the local community.

“We use Louisville Pure Tap literally all day every day. The quality of water that we have here in Louisville is actually a rather big deal!”

Elixir Kombucha

In 2015, two Louisville-based healthcare professionals with a passion for gut health were given an opportunity to turn their countertop kombucha project into a business.

“Making great kombucha starts with having a great source of water, so we are lucky to be in the city with the nation’s best water, Louisville Pure Tap.”

Rivergreen Cocktails

Danielle Mann saw an opportunity in the growing spirit-based ready-to-drink market, given the lack of "a proper cocktail" in the gin space, and that’s how Rivergreen Cocktails was born.

“A good water source is really important for our canned cocktails. Louisville Pure Tap is the best water in the country.”

Blak Koffee

Owner Ronyale Smith opened Blak Koffee in April 2023 to provide a space in West Louisville where people can meet with colleagues, use complimentary wi-fi, work remotely, and feel a sense of community and culture.

“A great cup of coffee starts with great tasting water and I know that Louisville Pure Tap makes a difference in the quality of our coffees and espressos.”
