E-Malt.com News article: USA, KY: Alltech’s Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company to launch canned Kentucky IPA and Kentucky Kolsch

Kentucky IPA is now available in 4-packs of 16 oz cans, as well as in bottles and on tap, and is the first canned beer ever produced by Alltech’s Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company in Lexington, KY, South side Magazine reported on August, 8.

Alltech’s Lexington Brewing and Distilling Company’s Kentucky IPA and Kentucky Kölsch are rolling off the brewery’s new canning line and launching state wide and in Ohio. The new cans are being sold in 4-packs of 16 ounce cans.

Kentucky IPA, or India Pale Ale is a new brew for the brewery, while Kentucky Kölsch is a rebranded version of the Kentucky Light brew that launched in 2003. With the increasing savvy of craft beer enthusiasts, the Kölsch descriptor is now better recognized and understood.

Kentucky IPA and Kentucky Kölsch are also available on draft and in bottles state wide, as well as in Ohio. The canned Kentucky Kölsch will quickly expand into its existing U.S. markets, while Kentucky IPA distribution will follow a more incremental growth strategy. The new brew was first introduced to the Lexington market on a limited basis in mid-May.

Kentucky IPA is the fifth beer in the Kentucky Ale portfolio, following the release of the Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout late last year.
