Press Release:
(Lexington, KY) – With two years of brewing some of the Commonwealth’s favorite beer under its belt, Country Boy Brewing will celebrate its second anniversary the February 7th – 10th with special releases and food trucks throughout the weekend.
“When we first opened our doors, we never expected the level of acceptance we’ve received from the Lexington community,” said Country Boy co-owner Daniel Harrison. “Their support has allowed us to grow and introduce the beer we love to whole new audiences around the state and the country. It’s really exciting and I can’t wait for what year 3 has in store for us.”
Since opening their doors on a small, 30 barrel system, Country Boy has grown from producing 504 barrels of beer in 2012 to 1,744 in 2013, making the brewery one of the fastest growing in the nation. “When we opened, we decided to make beer that we wanted to drink and hoped others would enjoy it too,” said head brewer Evan Coppage.” “It’s gratifying to see everything take off like this.”
