Ethereal Brewing American Craft Brewery in the historic Distillery District in Lexington, Kentucky. Beer, cocktails, wine, & more! Patio on the Town Branch creek.
(1580)

Open: M-R: 12p-11p
Fri: 12p-12a
Sat: 11a-12a
Sun: 12a-10p Ethereal Brewing - A Craft Brewery and Tap Room in the Historic Distillery District of Lexington Kentucky. This brewery is a culmination of our long time dream to brew great beer beyond what we have made over the years for our friends and family. About Our Beers:

Our offerings will be quite broad, but our main focus will be on brewing delicious Belgian farmhouse and American craft beers. We love these styles because they are by no means limiting on the creative side of things, and they are just darn tasty! We will have the staple beers people expect (with our first three beers being an IPA, a Saison and a Wit), but we are planning on going way above and beyond with an aggressive one-off program with no limitations on what we will brew. We are very passionate about good beer and that’s why our brewing philosophy is centered on making the best possible beer we can, sparing no expense on ingredients or our process. That’s why we are confident in exploring the funkier side of farmhouse brewing with a dedicated sour program – we feel the timing is right with more and more Kentuckians getting into craft beer and continually searching for something a little different from the norm. About Our Name and Emblem:

We chose Ethereal because we feel it does a good job of explaining our philosophy and goals for brewing great beer. Ether is the classic 5th element; it was the substance believed to make up the heavens and celestial bodies, and it’s also used to describe the finest or best of any substance. The symbol in the glass is an alchemical glyph known as Quintessence – in medieval times it was the symbol for Ether and was also used to sometimes describe alcohol as it was considered the best part of wine and ale. We really dig the alchemical roots, since we like to look at brewing as a blurring between science and magic.

Allow me to reintroduce myself - my name is Blunt Force Trauma (vol. 4). Our imperial stout blend returns. The last barrel blending session yielded several different delicious combinations, so we decided we couldn’t wait for LCBW 2027 and packaged this one up early.

Deep chocolate and roast tones with vanilla, oak, and dark fruits woven in-between. The perfect sipper for the oncoming fall weather! This will hold you over until Baba Yaga, the highest rated b**r in Kentucky on B**r Advocate, comes out next month. And some would say Blunt Force Trauma is just as good.. You’d be crazy to pass on it, honestly.

Available only at Ethereal Brewing Today at Noon, in Bottles and on Draft! 🖤

🥨 OKTOBERFEST IS TODAY 🍺
We open at noon with our limited release of our brand new stein! $15 each, which includes your first b**r fill!

B**rs: Festbier • Märzen • Hefeweizen • Weizenbock • Eisbock

Plus traditional German food from Salt & Vinegar starting at Noon! 🥨

2-4p: Free b**r poking of any b**r in your glass!
B**r poking, or Bierstacheln, is a traditional German practice of dipping a red-hot metal rod into a cold b**r for a few seconds. The intense heat triggers the Maillard reaction, instantly caramelizing and crystallizing the unfermented, residual malt sugars left in the drink. It’s really cool!

4p: Stein holding challenge, winner gets a $50 gift card! Arms locked y’all. Let’s go!🍺

See you today! Prost! 🍻

We have heard your concerns and we would like to apologize for the email that was sent out - it was very poorly worded and held a lot of negative implications. We did not do our due diligence in making sure what we’re saying was completely accurate. Our in-kind donation of food and beverage service was disclosed in accordance with the law, but we take full responsibility for the email and any repercussions from it. Period.

As for Wednesday, we were a venue for a candidate event for Rep. Jason Petrie and an introduction to Lexington. This event was hosted at Public House, not by Public House. Ethereal Brewing is not a partisan business and has not donated to either party previously. We are sincerely sorry for any confusion or disappointment it may have caused.

Our priority has always been to be as inclusive as possible. The flag that hangs in our taproom year-round says “Everyone Is Welcome” and we mean that full-heartedly. Everyone means Everyone. When it comes to us personally, that is where we stand. This incident absolutely does not represent us as a company and please accept our deepest apologies. We promise to be more careful and informed going forward. We only hope that our patrons can give us grace for this blunder and continue to support us and our staff as we have supported our community for almost 12 years. We appreciate your patience for this response and your understanding.
