Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale has been canned for the first time

Lexington Brewing & Distilling's Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, the the brewery's signature beer in a lineup of barrel-aged beer, has been canned for the first time.

Subtitled “The beer for Bourbon Country” Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale was launched in 2006. The strong ale base is aged at least six weeks in freshly emptied bourbon barrels. The brewery knows what they are doing with bourbon, as they also own their own distillery.

It wasn't long before the popularity of Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale spawned various spinoff releases, like Pumpkin Barrel Ale (on shelves for the 2016 season now).

Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale cans will start hitting the market in late September.
