The next upcoming outing is going be Saturday 9/20.

Two tours in one! See where Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale and Town Branch Bourbon are made and sample our products along the way. Each guest (21 yrs. & older) receives 4 tasting tokens to trade for samples in the brewery and/or distillery. (Tour length: 1 hour).

This tour takes a deeper look into the operation of our production facilities located on the Lexington Ky campus. It begins with our brewery and touches on the history and evolution of Lexington Brewing and our beer production. Next the tour heads to our distillery facility across the street where the guests learn about the bourbon and whiskey production. Lots of potential beer and spirits samples are provided to choose from along the tour.

This tour is $15.00 a person.

If you would like to attend, please message this page or Jimmy directly by Sunday 9/14/2025 at 5:00 pm.

Right now we are looking at the 4:00 pm time slot.

When Andrew said he was ready to Emcee, he wasn’t ready to do it in his underwear even though he had been Naked and Afraid 👀💥

Big shoutout to Andrew Shayde for keeping the energy high and the clothes low at this year’s Big Baskets of the Bluegrass! 🎤🍑
And thank you to Axton for making sure our Emcee learned the ropes… even if it was fully clothed. 😏

All for the kids at Camp Beacon because fundraising should never be boring! 💚🧡
