No idea who has the branded stuff or the tin trackers off top of my head but here are my favorites:
Blue Stallion - great German style beers; probably my favorite beer in Lex.
Mirror Twin - I go here the most as it closest, also near the BBQ place, good range of beers; heavy on Hazy’s, IPAs & sours. Depending on the weather, can usually see some nicely dressed, nicely shaped women. It’s family & dog friendly and there are always kids in there and oftentimes annoying fucking parents of said kids.
Country Boy - kinda the OG brewery in the area & the biggest. Tap room in Lex and full on brewery 30 minutes away in Georgetown. The tap room is small so if the weather sucks and there’s a UK game on, I’d avoid it.
The next tier:
Ethereal - there’s the brewery in the Distillery District and then 2 tasting rooms, 1 downtown and the other on campus. Never been to the campus 1 but from what I’ve seen, parking sucks around there. Ethereal is known for sours and dark beers (hi @1to392831weretaken) including a heavy season called Babayaga. Nextdoor to Goodfellas pizza, you can bring the pizza in.
The Burl Brew - also in the Distillery and part of a music venue called the Burl. Also an arcade there; it’s newer, the beer is fine but not great. The venue is cool.
The last tier:
Rock House - cool spot, decent beers but you have to see a fat dude cosplaying as a fat girl as a bartender.
West 6th - good beers, probably the 2nd biggest brand in Lex behind Country Boy. Not my favorite place, hence it is last on my list. Something about the vibe there I don’t like.
Devilish Current - it’s a bar and the owner brews beer and has 1-2 on top at the bar. Not really a brewery but a nice little dive bar.
