MEET THE BREWERS

At Alltech Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company our team takes a great deal of pride in the craftsmanship of our small batches and delivery of our fine products to our partners all over the state. Founded by an Irish Master Brewer, Kentucky Ale looks to embrace the community in which it was born. From our brewery to your home or favorite watering hole, thank you for supporting your local brewery!

 

 

Welcome

Pearse LyonsWelcome to our little microbrewery in the heart of downtown Lexington. People often ask us why a global company that's in the business of science also owns a brewery. Well, to make a long story short, my forefathers in Ireland had their hand in the brewing business and crafting beer casks when barrels were made out of wood.

Today, my own family is in the business of making yeast that happens to also go into the making of beer. So, it was a natural for us to revive the brewery that has been in Lexington since 1794. Welcome and enjoy.
