Alltech Lexington Brewing $20 Million Expansion & Canned IPA Coming

As part of a plan to spend up to $20 million expanding its beer operations, Alltech’s Lexington Brewing and Distillery Co. will launch a canned India Pale Ale this spring.

It’s one of a host of ambitious plans for Lexington’s longtime craft brewer.

Among them:

■ New canning and kegging lines at a recently acquired location on Angliana Avenue.

■ Rebranding its Kentucky Light beer as Kentucky Kölsch and beginning to sell it in cans.

■ Determining a location for a new brewery.

■ Exploring the opening of a taproom where it could serve its beers directly to the public.
