Country Boy Brewing & Serving
| 
Country Boy Brewing is now open and serving--Lexington and the Brewgrass Region should rejoice.
We were lucky enough to sneak in for a quick tasting-tour yesterday for the soft opening. First and foremost, the beer is extremely tasty, approachable, and at a great price. More of the Boys' brews will be coming online soon, so check back often as they get more guest taps replaced with their home cookin'. We tried the IPA, the Stout, and some Cougar Bait--all legit.
Also, bring some quarters for the kick-ass jukebox they have and bring cash for your tab--they are still working out the kinks of their POS system.
So get out to see the Country Boys and raise a pint to the newest brewery open in Kentucky...
Against The Grain Brewery | Brewers Night Out
|
Last night, the crew at Against The Grain Brewery hosted an informal gathering of the area's brewers. It probably comes as no surprise that introductions were made, beer discussed, samples sampled, so on and so forth.
The coolest part for us (as the non-brewer interloper) was hearing about the future plans for all these breweries and how much they want to work together to colloborate on a ton of cool projects. We, the consumer, will be drinking to the collective health of the Kentucky brewing industry in the coming months...
Furthermore, being able to hang out in such a cool beer spot was a real highlight. The food was great--including all the vegan options that we wouldn't have normally thought to sample. The session beer, Banal Bees, was spot on for a cold night as it couldn't help but make you think of a warmer time ahead...
