Kentucky Ale is a marriage between two classic beer styles, Irish Red Ale and English Pale Ale. Light copper in color, the unique body and character of Kentucky Ale is heavily influenced by the water, drawn from aquifers in the limestone rock underlying the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky.

With a little creative curiosity, we used spent bourbon casks, fresh from decanting, and filled them with our very own Kentucky Ale. From barrels that once held the finest bourbons of Kentucky, we present Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, a smooth, golden elixir unlike any other. Subtle yet familiar flavors of vanilla and oak are imparted to this special ale as it rests in the charred barrel. We attribute this to what the bourbon maker calls the “angel’s share”. Elegantly smooth and modestly carbonated, Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale is a fine sipping ale with the distinctive nose of a well-crafted Kentucky bourbon.

Christopher has traveled and studied brewing extensively in Europe. Dr. Power has a long history in brewing light beer. Their experience played an important role in the development of Kentucky Light, a flavorful light beer modeled after the famous Kölsch of Cologne, Germany. We think you will find Kentucky Light’s zesty aroma and refreshing flavor an excellent introduction to the world of small batch beers.
