10 Best Breweries 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 airy tasting room here offers visitors a nice rotating selection of guest taps and other tasty brews. As they put it, they focus on “hand-crafted micro brews designed for taste, smoothness and quality.” Particularly, you can expect to enjoy a lot of Belgian farmhouse and American craft beers. The tap list is extensive and the vibes are relaxed."

"This area, also called the Pepper distillery district, is home to a number of whimsical food and drink concepts, including Ethereal Brewing, Middle Fork Kitchen Bar, Crank & Boom Dessert Lounge and the Break Room. But, first up—and no surprise here: Ethereal Brewing Co."

"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."

"The focus here is on authentic German lagers and British ales brewed with the purest traditional ingredients. It’s a one-of-a-kind brewery that you won’t really find anywhere else in Lexington. And, we’d even argue that the beers they craft are some of the most unique in all of Kentucky."
