Kentucky may be world-famous for bourbon, but that's not the only *spirited* trick up our sleeve. The Bluegrass is nothing if not well-rounded, and we have an epic beer trail to prove it! The Brewgrass Trail is an amazing tour de force of the burgeoning craft beer scene in Kentucky, highlighting some of the best brewpubs and breweries in and around Lexington. Grab your brew crew and get ready to drink your way through the Bluegrass on the most hoppin' food trail in Kentucky!
The Bluegrass is known around the world as the epicenter of all things bourbon, but that's not the only superlative up our state's sleeve.
In recent years, craft breweries have been popping up all around the state -- and there's an amazing food trail that highlights this burgeoning brewery scene!
The aptly named Brewgrass Trail explores some of Kentucky's best breweries in cities like Lexington, Frankfort, Georgetown, and Versailles.
The trail spotlights more than 20 unique Kentucky breweries, with new destinations being added all the time.
To complete the full trail, you'll need to pick up a Brewgrass Trail Passport, which you can find at any of the breweries or at the Lexington Visitors Center, located at 215 W Main St, Suite 75, Lexington, KY, 40507.
After you collect a stamp from six breweries of your choice, you'll drop off or mail your completed passport to the Lexington Visitors Center or any participating brewery. Your souvenir passport will be mailed back to you along with your t-shirt. Once you receive your passport back, you can then complete the rest of the stops on the trail, and choose from either a Brewgrass Trail ball cap, Brewgrass Trail beanie, or two Brewgrass Trail pint glasses! Talk about Brewgrass swag...
All breweries along the trail are well-worth visiting in their own right. One of our favorites, however, is Fusion, owned and operated by Dr. Christian Paumi, head brewer, fermentation microbiologist, husband, and dad. This is one of the most family-friendly breweries in the Bluegrass!
There are so many amazing places on the Kentucky Brewgrass Trail, we have a feeling you'll discover some new favorites. View a full map of the trail here.
Kentucky is a place that continues to surprise even us. The Brewgrass Trail is one more feather in our very full and fabulous state cap!
