A Taste of Lexington: Beer & Bourbon Bliss

When I first heard about the Unforgettable Beer & Bourbon Tasting Adventure, I was intrigued. As a travel writer who loves to explore family-friendly activities, I was curious about how this experience could cater to both adults and kids. So, I packed up the family and headed to Lexington, ready for a day of fun and flavor.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the friendly staff at Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co. The place was bustling with excitement, and I could tell we were in for a treat. Our guide, Tom, was a fountain of knowledge and made the tour engaging for everyone, including the kids. We each received four tokens to trade in for samples, and the variety was impressive. My husband and I decided to share our tokens with our friends, allowing us to taste a little bit of everything.

Sipping and Sampling: A Family Affair

The tour was a delightful blend of education and entertainment. We started with the brewery, where the kids were fascinated by the brewing process. The beers were unique and flavorful, with the raspberry and cocoa varieties standing out as my personal favorites. Even though I usually love pumpkin-flavored drinks, this one didn’t quite hit the mark for me.

Next, we moved on to the distillery. The whiskey tasting was a hit with my husband, who particularly enjoyed the single barrel bourbon. I, on the other hand, was captivated by the Sundowner, a perfect winter warmer. The kids enjoyed the non-alcoholic options and were thrilled to take some fun group photos in the whiskey area.

Beyond the Tasting: Exploring More

After the tour, we ventured inside to explore the gift shop, where we picked up some local goodies to take home. We also had the chance to meet Ben, who gave us a private tour of the wedding facilities. The medieval-themed venue was charming and could accommodate medium to large groups, making it a great option for family gatherings or special events.

Overall, the Unforgettable Beer & Bourbon Tasting Adventure was a fantastic experience that offered something for everyone. Whether you’re a beer enthusiast, a bourbon lover, or just looking for a fun family outing, this tour is a must-visit. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Lexington!
