Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co.

A popular spot for bourbon and beer brewing tours.Usually not very bust.It is an easy 5 minute walk from Rupp Arena or a bit longer, but easy, from downtown.

Always been a fan of this brewery. Great choices of beers . I always try to stop by when visiting Lexington.

We did the tour a few weeks back and overall had a nice time. It was espeically fun that the other group doing the tour with us is originally from the same small town we live in now; what a small world! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The decor in the gift shop was very nice, loved the Irish heritage theme. We chose this tour to get the best of both worlds with the beer and spirits, but unfortunately we weren't huge fans of their spirits. My husband is a big whiskey and bourbon guy and he didn't really care for any of them. I am just starting to like bourbon but this was not enjoyable. We did enjoy our beer sample and honestly wish I would've sampled more beer vs spirits, but live and learn. We also really enjoyed their Bluegrass Sundown Bourbon Coffee Liqueur®. This was delicious and we took a bottle home but wish we would've taken a few home.

Had a great tour experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and made it very interesting. The bourbon was ok but the beer was great. The facility is beautiful and the staff were all super kind and welcoming.

Lexington Brewery & Distillery caught our eye from the street. We ventured in 45 minutes before closing. The staff member wasn't able to make any cocktails but offered up beer and whiskey samples still. Our group got a whiskey flight (maple stout barrel, single barrel bourbon, and overproof four barrel), beer flight (KY Vanilla Cream Ale, Liars & Lamb 5 Yr Raspberry Brown Ale, & Tart Cherry Wheat). All beer had very good flavors. The Liars & Lamb Raspberry beer is released only 5 years and it was a fan favorite! For the whiskey, all had good favorite but my favorite was the maple stout barrel! They had a wide variety of product to purchase. It was a fun spot we happened upon and ended up being one of the beat of the day!

My first distillery tour and it was a wonderful! To start off my group was running late and they were so accommodating to move onto the next time slot. The tour guide was awesome, he was an older gentleman (I'm really bad with names lol). Super personable guy and really someone you can have a drink with. All the ales are taste awesome and the bourbon too. My favorite bourbon was the single barrel Town Branch and from him I learned why it was called single barrel haha. However my favorite drink of the night was the Bluegrass Sundown Bourbon, tasted so much like a yummy espresso martini. Overall your was awesome, the facility was really cool to check out. I would probably reccommend going during the day where you can see production happening. We were the last tour of the day. I ordered an engraved whiskey for a thanksgiving gift and unfortunately it was not ready. However the manager went out of his way to get it to my hotel first thing in morning the next day. Absolutely amazing service, recommend anyone in Lexington to check it out!

If you love beer and/or bourbon... you need to check this place out. Makers of the original bourbon barrel ales. Now in wild cherry, tangerine, vanilla crème, milk stout and original. Then there are the bourbons and rye to sample. Why listen to me... stop in and sample , do a tour... most of all... enjoy yourself. Parking on site.

We toured on a cold day in January. Both the brewing and distilling facilities were so interesting and our tour guide was knowledgeable and personable. We had a great time and plan to return. Highly recommend it.

Very friendly staff, and they allowed us to bring our dog. I would recommend to couples and small groups!

They called and bumped up our tour time due to the snow, so that we could still get it in! The guide was great. He was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. It's a brewery and distillery tour which was fun! They give you 4 tokens and you can pick what you want to try (beer, bourbon, gin, etc) which is great should you not like one thing. We got to customize a bottle which is my fav thing to do.
