I just recently took a beer tour in Lexington. I live near Cincy so it was all new to me. Went to 4 breweries. I really liked all 4. They were all different in their own way. Country boy was first. The venue was really wasn't anything fancy, which is fine by. What was surprising was the list of beers that they had. I was surprised. I think they had 16 on draft which is a lot of self made beers. They had something for everyone. I really enjoyed cliff jumper and shotgun wedding. Laid back cool place.
Next was blue stallion. Never heard of this place at all. At their bar I could hardly see over the top of it lol. Super cool place for watching games. Great environment. I actually liked the smoked lager the most. I don't see those too often so it was fantastic. The staff was great and the shuffle board game was a blast.
West 6th was next. It was very open and had food in the place which is always nice. Loved the Porter and their ipa is very solid. They ran some good sampler deals as well.
Ethereal was next. I really like the venue their. Reminds me of warped wing in Dayton. Excellent beer there as well. Its like a little city in the middle of nowhere. I ate ice cream in some place there and I really wanted to eat at a restaurant really close called Middle Fork. Food looked so good. All in all it was a great experience. I try new breweries any chance I can get but I think that lexington is truly a gem and very underrated. All the places are so different and that is what makes it great to me. Rooster brewery in Paris the only one that eluded me, so if anyone has any insight on Rooster please reply.
