March 9, 2018
For immediate release
It’s a new event with a new concept: Bring together some of the best in craft bourbon distilling, craft beer making, and craft wine-making, all in one place.
Limestone Branch Distillery will host its first-ever Handcraft Spirits Festival for craft bourbon, beer and wine enthusiasts on April 14, 2018. The festival will be held on the grounds at Limestone Branch Distillery, 1280 Veterans Memorial Highway in Lebanon, the Heart of Kentucky.
The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; parking on the grounds will be free.
There will be no admission to enter the festival.
The Handcraft Spirits Festival is the first of its kind to have this variety of bourbon, beer and wine in one location. Twelve distilleries, two wineries and two breweries will be onsite displaying their products.
During the event, patrons will be able to enjoy and purchase handcraft bourbon cocktails, and craft wine and beer. It will be a festival format with the opportunity to walk around the distillery and its grounds, and enjoy free music and Kentucky spirits.
There will be food vendors onsite, as well, including barbecue.
“I’m very excited to host the next generation of Kentucky distilleries,” said Steve Beam, distiller at Limestone Branch Distillery. It was Beam who came up with the idea for the event, and his distillery is host of the festival.
“This event showcases some of the best Kentucky craft distilleries and spirits, and gives festival attendees a great look at what’s to come,” said Beam. “I think it also shows the unique cooperation and synergies that we in this business all share.”
