10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Frankfort

"While we were already on the beer train, we might as well try the newest brewery in town, too, and so upon the urging of many on social media, we headed to Mirror Twin Brewing for a quick round. Though it was a Wednesday, Mirror Twin was absolutely abuzz with activity, and we could have hung out there all night were our stomachs not steering us in another direction. So, once again, Lexington’s Instagram followers pointed us to our next stop—County Club Restaurant—and once again, they did not lead us astray."

"Mirror Twin Brewing is easily one of the best craft beer breweries in Lexington. At their taproom, you can experience the full flavour that comes as a result of their original twin draft system. It features two beers brewed side by side, with one changed ingredient."

"As Lexington is ideally placed for exploring the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, no visit can be complete without sampling some of the state’s signature drink. Since being founded in 1999 to promote the whiskey industry, the trail has turned into a top tourist attraction with award-winning distilleries. In the center of town alone are four fantastic spots where you can try some of the best bourbons."

"It isn’t the most exciting or atmospheric facility around, but it does sport a handy dual setup where you can see both a distillery and a brewery in action. At the tour’s end, cash in your four tokens for tastes..."

"A combination brewery and distillery, Alltech's Lexington Brewing Company makes a wide variety of beverages. It produces a line of craft beers as well as bourbons and other liquors, and welcomes visitors for tours."

"The event only lasted an hour and a half, so we still had some time to kill before dinner, which is how we found ourselves at Country Boy Brewing, one of Lexington’s original craft breweries that’s celebrating its fifth anniversary soon. While SVV may not be one for fun, flavored brews, I’m all about it and quickly threw back a flight that included Shotgun Wedding, Jalapeno Smoked Porter, Ghost Gose and Nacho Bait. (But seriously, how fun are those names?)"

"A leader in the beer revolution in Lexington, KY, Country Boy Brewing redefines beer and brewing. The owners use many local fruits, vegetables, and hops, making the unique beer great for the local economy as well."

"The staff over there are also very knowledgeable and will help you select a beer as per your taste. Thus, Lexington has a wide array of bars and nightclubs. There are plenty of places where you can go and enjoy a drink with your friends."

"It’s likely that you had no idea that the world’s largest ceiling clock lives in Lexington, specifically in the Central Public Library of Lexington. Though it’s unusual, it’s a definite must-see. The clock is essentially a huge work of art that sits in the atrium of the building."

"You likely had no idea that Lexington holds some world records like this one. Yea, the world’s largest ceiling clock is in Lexington, in the Central Public Library of Lexington precisely. This is a must-see, though it is unusual."

"The concept of a movable bar has never come to life better than this. This is the only people-driven vehicle where you’re allowed to drink and pedal. That’s right, pedal."

"In late August, Cole went to Wise Bird Cider Company for the first time, an airy industrial-chic spot with long tables, outdoor seating, and charcuterie on the menu. Never much of a cider guy, he wasn’t sure what to expect, but he ended up liking it so much that now he’s carrying it at both his restaurants. As an added bonus, the space is kid-friendly."

"Wells Plastic Surgery & Skin Care can make you look and feel your absolute best. We offer services ranging from surgical body sculpting by Dr. Henry G. Wells to state-of-the-art physician-assisted skin care. We offer only medical-grade, clinically researched products..."

"Great Bagel makes me feel like I’ve stepped into a big drop of sunshine. The bright, airy space and pops of yellow are so much fun. The overall vibe is reminiscent of a cool Nashville or Portland spot."

"This is the kind of place that makes you wish other people didn't exist. Not the staff, they're terrific. But every time I walk in and other customers are..."
