Description
Bringing small batches of hand crafted beer to Southern Kentucky, we opened in early 2015.

We are a "community brewery." We will use locally sourced ingredients where possible, give our spent grains back to farmers to feed their livestock, and put a portion of our profits back into local charities.

(Was closed in 2020 but reopened in 2023)

Tap at source. Clear pale. Clear beer nose with a slight metal background. More bitter than expected for a lager. Oddly some hints of smoke in there on the finish. Overall, a little more personality than I like in a straight up pale lager. But I must say, the higher level of cutting carbonation, from start to finish, made it quite easy to take, almost refreshing at times.

Lots of barrel, a little whiskey. Tangy mash bourbon like we’re in Kentucky. Oh wait... Pours brown with ok head and lacing. Finishes very tangy. Ok, not my thing though.

A little bit more taste than the regular kolsch, what with the "Japalenos," but mostly just vegetable rather than actual spice like when Doritos says they are going spicy. Pours golden with ok head and lacing. Tap at brewpub.
