Kentucky's only combined distillery and brewery, right in downtown Lexington. Town Branch produces solid bourbon alongside craft beer — making it the only trail stop where everyone in the group finds something to drink.
Town Branch sits in downtown Lexington and has a unique angle — it's both a distillery and a brewery under one roof. Part of the Alltech Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company, it produces Town Branch Bourbon alongside a full lineup of craft beers. That combination makes it the most versatile stop on the trail for mixed groups.
The bourbon is solid — a well-made, approachable Kentucky straight bourbon that drinks above its price point. The real draw is the variety. Non-bourbon drinkers can enjoy craft beer, and the tour covers both operations, which keeps things interesting if you've already seen the bourbon production process at other stops.
The downtown Lexington location means easy access to restaurants, horse country, and other attractions. It's a natural first or last stop on a Lexington day.
Tour both the distillery and brewery operations. Taste bourbon and beer. The dual focus keeps the experience fresh.

Town Branch is very easy to book. Walk-ups are common. Downtown Lexington location makes it convenient to combine with dining and other attractions.
Standard gift shop with Town Branch bourbon and Alltech beers. Prices are fair. Good for picking up a unique bourbon that most people outside Kentucky haven't tried.
Town Branch is the best Lexington stop for mixed groups — bourbon lovers and beer drinkers both leave happy. It's not a must-visit on a first trip, but if you have an extra day in Lexington or are traveling with non-bourbon drinkers, it's a relaxed, easy addition with zero booking stress.
