West Sixth Brewing
Regional Brewery
in Lexington,
Kentucky,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated with 4 Venues
Established in 2012
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.

Sample (thanks omhper!). Pitch black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, some toffee, mild chocolate and some mild nutty elements too. Flavour is liquorice, chocolate, coffee, some roasted notes, mild nutty elements with some toffee as well as some alcohol to it. Very nice and old schooly IS.
