At West Sixth, we have been Community Focused since Day One.

Since the start of West Sixth Brewing in 2012, we’ve been partnering with organizations in our community that are making a positive impact through our Sixth for a Cause and Wooden Nickel program. Over the years, we’ve been able to donate over $1,000,000 to a variety of non-profit partner organizations. This is a core part of our business that we’re extremely proud of and fortunate to be able to continue.

host a non-profit happy hour with us

OUr beers give back. Here’s how ↴

West Sixth For a Cause Foundation

the charitable arm of West Sixth Brewing, created to formalize over a decade of community giving. Since opening, we have donated over $1,000,000 to Kentucky nonprofits, supporting causes from hunger relief to outdoor access (and that number climbs each year) . The Foundation brings all of our giving initiatives—like our Sixth For A Cause Happy Hours and the Wooden Nickel Program—under one roof. West Sixth For a Cause is made possible in part due to a partnership with Blue Grass Community Foundation.

Sixth for A Cause Happy Hours

Each month we host a happy hour in Lexington, Covington, and Louisville for our monthly non-profit partners. This serves as an opportunity for folks to interface with folks who work for that month’s cause, learn more about it, and, of course donate. 6% of sales from the Happy Hour go back to the represented non-profit.

In addition to hosting happy hours for our monthly partners, we also are happy to host a number of independent happy hours for other awesome non-profits around the state! Click here to submit a form & learn more

Pints With A Purpose

$0.50 of either your Cocoa Porter Pint (fall & winter months) or Pennyrile Pint (spring & summer) goes back to our monthly non-profit partners. On occasion, we’ll have a special beer tapped just for that non-profit, in which case the giveback beer will be announced on our social media and clearly marked in the taprooms.

Wooden Nickels with Every Flight…

Every time you order a flight at one of our taprooms, you’ll get a Wooden Nickel—your choice to donate $1 to that month’s featured local nonprofit or take $1 off merch. It’s just one of the many ways your beer can do a little good, too.
