Two local breweries — Sig Luscher and West Sixth — will be featured as part of the Kentucky Proud Beer Series.
Each October, Kentucky Proud partners with the Kentucky Guild of Brewers and craft breweries across the state to create exciting, limited release beers made with locally grown ingredients. Now in its seventh year, the Kentucky Proud Beer Series showcases the diversity of Kentucky agriculture through the creativity of the commonwealth’s brewers.
“Kentucky’s craft brewers will use locally grown products to brew one-of-a-kind beers and bring consumers the diverse flavors from Kentucky’s farms,” Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said. “The Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) is pleased to collaborate with the Kentucky Guild of Brewers again on what has become a staple of Kentucky’s fall calendar.”
This year, for the first time, the Kentucky Proud Beer Series will span the entire month of October. This extended period will allow for staggered releases to give the public more chances to taste these locally grown beers. The KDA worked with the Guild to match craft brewers with Kentucky Proud producers to create the limited-release beers. Everything from locally grown grains, honey, butternut squash, paw paws, blackberries, jalapenos, and much more will be infused into these unique beers to create that special fall flavor for the seventh annual series.
Local breweries will release their Kentucky Proud brews to the public starting on Oct. 3. Each participating brewery will give away commemorative Kentucky Proud and Kentucky Guild of Brewers branded koozies to the first 100 customers purchasing its limited release Kentucky Proud beer.
On Oct. 24, Sig Luscher and West Sixth breweries will release their beers.
“The Guild is excited to once again partner with the KDA to feature new Kentucky Proud beers,” said Jessy Harding, Executive Director of the Kentucky Guild of Brewers. “What could be better than local beer made with local ingredients? Nothing, if you ask us. Join us in raising a glass or two of the commonwealth’s most innovative industries, craft beer and agriculture.”

State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section.
