Respect the Bourbon, Drink the Beer in Lexington, KY

Brewgrass Trail
Known around the world for creating world-class bourbon, Kentucky produces more than 95% of the world’s supply! The history and heritage of the great amber elixir goes hand in hand with the history of Kentucky. Settlers to the region from Virginia and Pennsylvania brought with them their recipes for whiskey. In Kentucky, corn took the place of rye and a long trip down the Mississippi to New Orleans created a mellower beverage.In keeping with the long-standing tradition of brewing alcohol, it is no surprise there is now a beer movement taking hold throughout Lexington’s Bluegrass Region. We like to say “Respect the Bourbon, Drink the Beer”. The production of Craft beer in Lexington has grown tremendously over the past year. To explore the region’s artisan brewers, check out the Brewgrass Trail for tour information and the best places in the area to taste their creations.Find out more details at www.brewgrasstrail.com
