Czech Plz! Today is all about celebrating our Louisville Taproom -- West Sixth NuLu! NuLu turned two years old just last month, and to celebrate, we brewed & canned a Czech style lager for their birthday celebrations. Czech Saaz hops lend subtle, but distinct spiciness and bitterness notes to compliment a clean, but full malt body made up of 100% Bohemian Floor Malted Pilsner malt. Clocking in at 5.4% ABV, a super easy drinking beer to enjoy any day of the year (like, maybe, today??)! Our NuLu pride spot also includes a NuLu patch + a West Sixth NuLu sticker. We can't wait to see where you stick 'em!
Day 7 - We call it a Flagship Double!
Ain't nothin' like a flagship! Today is a double beer day (yes!), featuring our flagships Cerveza & Amber. Cerveza is a Mexican style lager that's crisp, clean, & easy drinking -- West Sixth Amber Ale is a malt-forward Amber Ale with some fruity hops to provide perfect balance. Chill 'em & enjoy!
Pssst...don't miss the logo sticker in this spot <3
Day 6 - Mex Mocha!
It’s Mexican Mocha day!! This beer is BIG - big enough to hold its own today. An Imperial Coffee Stout, made with Sumatra coffee beans, chocolate, vanilla, pasilla, & ancho chili peppers added to the brew -- Mex Mocha is a tasty treat with a lil' kick! Clocking in at an impressive 9% ABV, if you open your advent in the morning, we suggest you definitely wait til after work to sip this beer! Mexican Mocha is available occasionally in 4-packs as a taproom exclusive.
Day 5 - PROST!
Prost! Does our DankeChain Oktoberfest realllyyy taste better in a mini-stein? We think it does! Let us know what you think. This slot contains (1) can of Our traditional German Lager, and your very own, advent exclusive, West Sixth branded mini-stein! Oktoberfest is a medium bodied, easy drinking lager with a subtle complexity -- usually only available in early fall, we saved a few cans for our advent boxers! We hope this slot brings you all kinds of stein-hoisting, beer-drinking, Okto cheer!
Day 4 - Good Slot!
Good Beer & a can cracker! Good Beer is an all time taproom fav -- that we decided to can seasonally for y'all this year! This light, crisp lager is a real crowd pleaser. Perfect for enjoying for any time or occasion. The can design features big, bright, primary colors as an ode to Rainbo Bread -- whose factory used to be located where our original West Sixth Brewing sits in Lexington.
Day 3 - Cantina!
This year we launched our food truck -- the West Sixth Cantina! In celebration of Cantina's birth year, we gave ya a little something spicy & a Cantina sticker. This hot sauce is extra special -- our production team put in a lot of hard work to see whose hot sauce would be in the box. Our winner? Stevie! Stevie developed a recipe, and then worked with our friends at FoodChain and Peril Hot Sauce to refine & create a big ol’ advent batch of what we're calling "Hot Static Ch. 1." The sauce has a low to medium heat level, and was made with Pennyrile Pale Ale, citra & mosaic dry-hopped vinegar, jalapeno, onion, garlic, serrano & carrot! We think it's preeeettttyyy tasty -- try it at home, or throw it in your bag & bring it out to the Cantina to try on a taco!
Day 2 - Gettin' Fuzzy!
Gettin' Fuzzy in Kentucky! We released our new, year-round hazy this past year -- and it was a big hit! The can art was designed in collaboration with our pals at Cricket Press, & it features a birds-eye view of the fields as you fly into Lexington. Fuzzy Fields is an aromatically hop forward Hazy IPA full of citrus and stone fruit notes. We are big fans of this can! Enjoy your fuzzy & slap that Fuzzy can sticker on something with all the fuzzy, Kentucky pride you can muster!
