Kentucky is home to many outstanding local breweries and these laid back destinations are some of the best for hanging out with friends in the Bluegrass State. Several of these breweries have taken over historic buildings for their brewing process, as well as to house taprooms and even restaurants. Goodwood Brewing has had successful locations in the Louisville area and they recently expanded to Frankfort with the opening of a Goodwood Brewpub right on the Kentucky River. This riverfront restaurant in Kentucky serves up great food and drinks and is the perfect spot to relax in our state’s capital.

There are many historic and abandoned buildings throughout the state of Kentucky and thankfully many of them are getting a new life.
