Country Boy Brewing - Lexington, KY

 

After West Sixth we stopped at Country Boy Brewing. They were only about 6 minutes a part, perfect! Country Boy had a sign out front, but like many breweries it's basically set in a warehouse/garage setting. Once inside it's basically a few tables and a bar with some tvs. This place was much more of a grunge feel than West Sixth which is good because it gives people options.

-For merchandise they basically just sold tshirts and pint glasses. 

-The beer list was great! Many guest brews and TONS of their own brews. I had a flight of 4 beers, served in a flight in the shape of a truck which I find unique and creative. I ended up having 3 flights because there were just so many choices. 

-First flight was the Belma IPA (very good), Knotty Pine Double IPA (very hoppy and tasty), Cliff Jumper IPA (decent), and the Pale Ale (very good). Next was the Bourbon BLL Black Gold (tasted like candy, tasty), Double BBL Shotgun Wedding (tasty), Amos Moses (good) and Nacho Bait (good). Lastly was the Amber (not bad), Nacho Bait with jalapenos (interesting, decent taste), a Brown which was decent and one other I forget.  What was awesome is that they also had Three Floyds Gumball Head, pretty impressive!

West Sixth Brewery - Lexington, KY

 

On our way to Asheville we wanted to check out Lexington, KY for two breweries. Our first stop was West Sixth. Walking in, this place is huge. Lots of open space and very clean. It's only about a year old, but I was very impressed with the scene.

-Lots of board games to choose from to play with your friends, plenty of sitting room and a wrap around bar.

-The bartender was very nice and friendly.  They can a few of their beers and sell them in the cooler next to the merchandise. One major plus I will give them is the price of their merchandise.  The glasses were only 2 or 3$ depending on which type of glass.

-As for the beer..I tried a sampler. The Wheat was good. The Amber was a little different but very good.  The Brown was decent. Loved the IPA, it's one of the things they can so we bought some to take home.  The Stout was eh. The Tripel was good. Black IPA wasn't bad.  Irish Red was okay and the Double IPA was pretty thick but I liked it.

-Overall I highly recommend this place if you're ever in the area. Most the beers were very good and the setting is relaxing and nice. Check below for a video tour and pictures.
