The Brewgrass Trail

Kentucky is known for it fabulous bourbons and its world-famous distilleries. But just as traffic on the Bourbon Trail has grown, so has the craft beer movement in the Bluegrass State... Breweries are now scattered across Kentucky, with more and more thirsty travelers seeking out these small craft brewers while sampling the classic bourbons.

Top Kentucky-Made Beers

We are suckers for end-of-year lists and reviews...particularly ones that involve beers.

"Top Christmas Beers?" Will read it every time...

"Favorite Beers of the Year?" We will spend too much time thinking about our personal list...

With so much happening in Kentucky with the craft beer revolution, we know that NEXT year will be the year for a comprehensive list as more microbreweries come online around the state.

So what are your top Kentucky beers of 2011? And what are you most looking forward to trying in 2012?

Kentucky State BBQ Festival (and beer)

Yesterday saw Danville mobbed with BBQ lovers from across the region for the KY State BBQ Festival.

Thousands got to taste/sample/gorge on all things BBQ, with many of the cooks selling out with astonishing speed.

It was no different at the beer tent, where Lore Brewing Company and Kentucky Ale served as quickly as possible to a ton of visitors.   It was good to see a large and a micro side by side--and next year, you might see more Kentucky brewers at this insanely popular event.

Gettin' started...
