Brewing in Kentucky
Mention a tour of Kentucky’s finest craft facilities, and most people will think of its famous bourbon distilleries—it is, after all, widely thought to be the birthplace of bourbon. But the Bluegrass State has a robust collection of breweries, too. The concentration of breweries is especially high in bigger cities like Louisville and Lexington, where there’s even a "Brewgrass Trail," modeled in the style of Kentucky’s beloved bourbon tours. It’s a good place to be a beer lover.
