Who Is Kentucky Ales?

And, they come out tasting great! Bourbon barrel aging isn’t just for stouts anymore.
Phil Walczak, your favorite Minnesota representative for Kentucky Ales, tells us, “We try to brew a beer that best advocates for the flavors of bourbon, so you get a lot of the vanilla and the caramel. People like our beer for the sweetness and the depth.”

Will I Like It?

Walczak says, “We sit right in the middle of the craft beer boom and the more American staples like Budweiser. We have an appeal to a broad range of people, and we offer a depth of bourbon flavor in addition to a focus on caramel and vanilla sweetness. Our focus is on pulling out the subtle flavors of bourbon rather than relying on the bourbon itself, so it’s a less scary craft beer.”
Next time you’re at your favorite bar or restaurant, ask to sample Kentucky Ales on tap. Or, keep an eye out for them at local beer festivals! You can also keep your eyes peeled for new seasonal flavors that will really knock your socks off.

Get To Know The Beer

The beer goes into the barrels at 6% ABV and comes out at 8% ABV due to the several gallons of bourbon still engrained in the fresh barrels.
