About
Founded in 2012, we’re a craft microbrewery located in a historic 100-year-old bakery called The Bread Box on West 6th Street in Lexington, Kentucky. We brew and can our beer out of that location, and it’s sold at bars, restaurants, grocery stores, and liquor stores throughout the state of Kentucky (and across the river in Cincinnati, OH). We pride ourselves on the beers that we make and the impact we have on the communities we’re a part of.

We focus our brewing talents on a wide variety of beers – we produce and can styles ranging from our flagship West Sixth IPA, to our Pay it Forward Cocoa Porter. In our taprooms in downtown Lexington, we have 15-20 West Sixth varieties on tap, along with occasional special bottle releases from our Sixfold and Barrel-aged series. Now a team of more than 40, we focus on brewing beers with quality and creativity that we’re proud to serve to our friends, and most importantly, that we like to drink!

That said, we measure our success as a company not just on the beer that we make, but also on our social impact in the communities we’re a part of. We support the direct work of nonprofits in our area through programs like our Pay it Forward program and 6th for a Cause. We are environmentally conscious in everything we do (did you know nationwide, 70% of aluminum is recycled and only 20% of glass is?). And finally, we strive to be an awesome place to work, offering discounted CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) benefits, private staff yoga classes, and employee ownership.

Draft pour at West Sixth NuLu, Louisville. Poured a mostly clear, dark plum, red color with a small off-white head. Aroma was blueberry puree, but perhaps not as much as I was hoping for or expecting. A touch on the light side for a blueberry beer, but pleasant.

Draft pour at West Sixth NuLu, Louisville. Poured a clear yellow color with a small, white head. Aroma was light and tarty, some mild fruit notes. Flavor was light tartness, slightly sweet malt to balance out that tartness. Really nice, delicious.

A stout out of my ever-dwindling inventory of 750 ml bottles, it is the way of the future. Tonight my New Belgium snifter gets the duty as I open the bottle and make the pour. The liquid is a dark chocolate brown with a bubbly top of light tan foam. Likewise the nose is heavy with chocolate followed by coffee and a touch of booze. With a drink I find this to be a beer of restraint. Assuredly a chocolate introduction with a subtle amount of coffee, toffee and a hint of bourbon. The sensation is a bit thin also.
