July 20, 201511 yr I still have a ton to try from the KY breweries -- and many more to retry now that I have a logging app. As of today I'd have to go with West 6th over Against the Grain. This is based on the strength of their top two beers IMO, Heller Heaven and IPA.
July 21, 201511 yr I'm a fan of Country Boy. I'll second Country Boy. Stamping Ground Nitro Stout, and Heart of Dankness Black IPA are my usuals. Plus they always have a good variety of different barrel aged beers.
July 21, 201511 yr Serious bias in favor of Against the Grain because I spend a great deal of time there and so have the opportunity to take advantage of their tremendous variety. It will remain my favorite until something really amazing happens. In the spring they made a batch of oyster stout that blew my mind. Unreal. I like several others and it's pretty rare that I don't have at least a couple cans of the West Sixth IPA in my fridge.

July 21, 201511 yr ATG, I like fact they have more offerings. Plus Bo and Luke is the bomb. Bo and Luke is unreal.
July 21, 201511 yr Where is Against The Grain. I've not been there. Louisville. It's IN Louisville Slugger Field. They operate separately, but it's still in the same building.
July 21, 201511 yr If you get a chance, AGT has a tap takeover at Party Town, usually the last Friday evening prior to Christmas. The bring around ,15 different kegs.
July 21, 201511 yr Okay...just for curiosity's sake, let's see how many breweries and brew-pubs we can come up with in Kentucky. I'll update the list as we rattle off breweries, and if you comment on the brewery/breweries you mention I'll leave them, but otherwise I'll delete them as I update the list. That way we can keep the thread a little "cleaner". Try to delineate if they are a brewery (distribute for sales elsewhere), a brewpub (brew and only sell at their restaurant/bar), or if they're a combination brewery/brewpub. Brewery: Against The Grain - Louisville Apocalypse Brew Works - Louisville Country Boy Brewing - Lexington Ei8htball Brewing* - Bellevue Falls City Brewing - Louisville Goodwood Brewing Company - Louisville Alltech - Lexington Red Ear Brewing* - Covington (Out of Business) West 6th - Lexington Brewpub: Beer Engine - Danville BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse** - Multiple Locations Bluegrass Brewing Company - Louisville Dry Ground Brewing - Paducah Ethereal Brewing - Lexington Gordon Biersch** - Louisville Hofbrauhaus** - Newport Paducah Beer Weks - Paducah RoosterBrew - Paris White Squirrel Brewery - Bowling Green Combination Brewery & Brewpub: Blue Stallion Brewing - Lexington Braxton Brewing* - Covington Cumberland Brewing* - Louisville Great Flood Brewing - Louisville * No bottled/canned distribution. Draft beer distribution only. ** Part of a chain. Edited July 28, 201511 yr by Colonels_Wear_Blue
July 21, 201511 yr In NKY, Braxton and 8 Ball in Bellevue at the Party Source are both relatively new. CWB for the sake of your list, I have seen offerings from both breweries on tap at different bars and restaurants outside of their respective taprooms.

That was what my intention was or the asterisk...no bottled/canned distribution - kegs only. I'll edit to clarify that.
