LEXINGTON, Ky.— On Saturday, March 23rd, West Sixth Brewing, one of Kentucky’s largest and most successful craft breweries, will be kicking off a week-long series of events and special beer releases to commemorate twelve years in the craft beer industry.
“A dozen years in the craft beer industry is a huge accomplishment, and we want to take the time to recognize that and celebrate it,” said Ben Self, co-founder of West Sixth Brewing. “We’re so proud of our team and to be part of this community that continues to support us and get really excited about everything we do: from events to giving back to local charities and, of course, to the beer. This week is our way of saying ‘Thank You’ to everyone, whether they’re new to us or have been along for the ride since the beginning.”
West Sixth’s Birthday Week will start on Saturday, 3/23 with the brewery’s annual Brew-off Homebrewers Competition, and will conclude on Saturday, 3/30 with an all-day birthday party. The week-long celebration will include the following:
- Kids Day (3/24): To kick off the birthday celebration on Sunday, 3/24, families are invited to the brewery for a day of fun kids activities. Magic shows will take place at 11:00am and 1:00pm, and the Tiny Tall Man Balloon Artist will be making balloon animals and creations at 12:00pm and 2:00pm. Both activities are free of charge. Plus there will be free popcorn and ice cream available for purchase from Sav’s Chill.
- Hop Static Channel 10: The tenth installment of the Hop Static rotating IPA series features a label that calls back to the very first iteration, made in 2019. Brewed and dry hopped with Mosaic, Strata and Citra hops, Hop Static Channel 10 brings tropical fruit and citrus notes up front, followed by a slightly dank and balanced finish with resin, stone fruit and a lightly dry finish. Announced ahead of the anniversary and available all week.
