If you've ever had Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, you know you have to visit this place. We stopped here on a Friday afternoon and joined a tour of about 18. Tour is short because the brewery is not that big. Next door, they are building a new area that will be a lot more modern.The current equipment is very old.... More

Interesting if you've never toured a brewery. Otherwise, the beer is just ok, so its not worth a special trip. More

To start, the visitor center is the lovely brick building on the left when you are trying to find the actual location. Second parking is not available at the center or at the brewery across the street, however, there is free public parking on the street. It was a good tour, nothing too elaborate, but still very educational about Alltech's... More

I'm from Lexington, and have long been a fan of Alltech's line of beers, but I've never been to the Brewery. Well, my old college housemate was in town last weekend, so we decided to check out the Brewery tour since it was free and a way to get us out of the house for a couple hours before settling... More

I took two friends along for the Thursday afternoon tour. We were surprised at how nice the visitors center was. It was designed to look like a street in Ireland with different pubs named after the owners friend and family members. Our tour guide, Dave, was outstanding. The tour took one hour followed by about a half hour tasting. Dave... More

Spur of the moment we walked over there as it's very close to the downtown and rupp arena and it turned out to be so much fun. The place isn't that big but the tour is a lot of fun and trying the beer samples after the tour was great. Kentucky Bourbon Ale is the best beer I have ever... More

If you have toured some of the largest American breweries you might like this very small brewery with a great tasting bourbon ale. The tour was very short about 15 min and everything was in 1 warehouse so not a lot of walking. After the tour there is a beer tasting in a separate building that is set up like... More

You would never in a million years know this place is so cool just by passing by. The tour was fabulous! Our guides Veronica and Ken were knowledgable and a lot of fun, and the history of the brewery and the owners is interesting. And of course we sampled! And in a really cool room that looked like a pub... More
