It Has Been a Pleasure, KY!
Our sale as a going concern unfortunately fell through, and we have closed our doors as of 8/31. Thank you for supporting us over the last 8 years and for letting us be a part of the community.
The Lexington Production Facility and Taproom
Situated between the Kenwick neighborhood and the Winchester Rd corridor into downtown at 1400 Delaware Ave, the Lexington taproom has built a consistent following through great events.
We opened the space in 2016, and it consists of a main room, covered patio, and private room for 49 people. The total guest area inside is approximately 1800 ft2. We do not have a kitchen, but we have an area for food trucks by the patio. Space is available in the overall building for the installation of a kitchen. The draft system has 20 taps and is direct through the wall.
A paved lot with 17 parking spaces is available on the west side of the building, and an employee lot with unmarked spaces is available on the east side.
A 1200 sf patio and green space to the south of the building are available.

The Louisville Taproom
The Louisville taproom opened its doors officially in Feb 2023 at 1753 Bardstown Rd. It is located in leased space with a group of businesses on one of the primary entertainment thoroughfares for Louisville. The location’s neighbors include The Post pizza restaurant and Purrfect Day Cat Cafe.
The taproom was built with the expectation that it would be supplied approximately once a month from an off-site production facility. It is about 2600 ft2 and contains an 8 x 13’ draft walk-in and an 11 x 14’ keg storage walk-in.
The draft system has 16 taps and a Micromatic glycol tap line chiller.
The Louisville taproom presents an opportunity for another brewery to assume the current lease and step into a fully functioning taproom in a high-traffic area on day 1.
