Blue Stallion Brewing Co

Blue Stallion may be my favorite brewery in Lexington (and that is saying a lot because I love them all). However, I’m a big fan of traditional German beers so obviously I’m going to love Blue Stallion. On this visit to the taproom I got two Dunkels, which is probably my favorite style of beer.
The atmosphere of the taproom is so fun. You can play pool or sit and watch a game in side or sit outside at the biergarten style tables. There is always a fun mix of people there on dates, meeting up with friends or eating dinner from one of the food trucks that come and park in the lot. I’ve experienced all three scenarios here and I’ve enjoyed them all!
My plan for my next visit is to come for trivia night on Thursdays!

This place would get 5 stars if there were hot snacks. I know that there are sometimes food trucks but during my visit there was none. They do sell bar snacks.
The staff was knowledgeable about their products and made amazing recommendations for me. I am a dark beer fan, nothing too hoppy and they found the perfect beer for me.
This is a great place to get together with friends over a pint.

Stopped off to check out this dog friendly brewery. Had a wonderful chat with Kore as he provided us with the back history of the establishment. The beer was fantastic (even I mon-​beer drinker enjoyed some of their unique offerings. Who would’ve thought lemonade and beer ?). Sam was very pleased with the dark offerings they had. The staff and atmosphere was inviting. As we travel the United States this brewery will be one we will visit again!

Blue Stallion has become one of my favorite places in Lexington. There are lots of different options on the menu to meet any beer lovers tastes. I love the options of different food trucks especially on Thursday and Friday nights. Team at Blue Stallion, keep up the good work. If you haven’t tried this place, stop by and have a beer… you will come back.

Nice atmosphere, better beer. If you like German beers this is the place to go. And they give you free tasters. :)
19 beers on top, and am enjoying working my way through their list. Definitely a beer geek place. And the staff is very knowledgeable and happy to teach…

Maybe my tastebuds were in a funk. I found the house-​brewed offerings to be just ok (although my usually non-​beer-​drinking spouse raved about the Radler, built on their Helles). Lots of room to spread out, and the space was inviting. Session IPA WAS pretty good, and the Munich Dunkel was OK. Didn’t care for the ESB. One-​star deduction for presumptuous bartender who self-​tipped. I would have happily sent those bucks right back to him, but please let ME make the call.

We were in town to do some drinking and came across this place as a recommendation from a local. I am glad we stopped in. It was not very busy and we were able to find a seat. The beers were ok, not bad, no great. Service was good. Overall, we would probably come back and try a few more beers.

I went to a fundraiser here on a Monday night for a local nonprofit. It is very generous of BSB to do these fundraising events. It was my first time there. The place is okay– I’m not a beer gal, so I’m disappointed when I can’t get bourbon or other drinks and rarely go to breweries for this reason. The bartender was very nice, offering us many samples. They have a cider, which basically tasted skunky like beer, so I ordered a lemonade drink (alcoholic I’m assuming…) and it was good, but I just can’t stomach many fizzy drinks, so I only had one. My husband got a beer and they served his in a cute pilsner glass and mine in a heavy mug. Go figure. I can’t speak for all girls, but I like my drinks in girly glasses, instead of ones I have to «curl» everytime I take a drink. One very weird thing is that their bar is made for a super tall human. I could barely see over the top! No clue why the owners chose this design, it’s otherwise a pretty woven wood bar. The menu was electronic and if you’re not a fan of BSB’s beers, they offer many other choices, which is nice (according to the hubs). He also likes that they have shuffleboard, which is a rare sighting in Lexington. We wanted to play but didn’t have $ 2 in cash on us. I realize now that Ben Lacy plays at this brewery monthly, as of late, and seeing his show or attending another fundraiser would be my only real reasons to want to go back.

Tied with West 6^th for my favorite brewery in Lexington.
Great authentic German beer. You know how I know it’s authentic? Well, because the brew master is from Germany! He even uses a water filtration system to make their water the closest thing to German water so when brewing it has that authentic taste.
Not only is the beer great but they have a friendly staff too. They support local art and good food trucks almost every night, which I love.
Trivia is also fun. Go Now!

Excellent brewery. Clean, wide open area with big garage door that clears out to a nice seating area. My wife and I came here as part of the beer garden tour. Beer was excellent with a great selection and super nice staff that gave us all the samples we wanted to see what we liked.
They also had a local food truck parked in the side lot that was AMAZING. My wife and I split the BBQ chicken over tater tots with cheese and sour cream. Holy smokes that was amazing! I could have eaten 6 more of those things. Highly recommend.

If you can go here for lunch/​dinner, you should. My husband and I looked up breweries and ended up here on a Monday around 12 pm. Unfortunately, we were the only ones there… More people should be here. We sampled some beers. We landed on the patch kids which was amazing.
There was a food truck outside, so we went out to have a bite. Mikey’s Mobile Munchies… AMAZING! We haven’t stopped talking about it yet and it has been a week. He puts a lot of care in putting out an awesome product.
This was the brewery/​food truck experience that I’m going to compare to all others for the rest of my days.

One of the best local Breweries in Lexington Ky. Craft beers on tap. They don’t serve food. Food trucks only at select times. A great place to relax with friends and have a beer and or play a game of pool. They also have a patio.

Lexington, KY has had an explosion of local brew houses. Out of which, Blue Stallion Brewing Co by far is my favorite. They are located off Newtown Pike and 3^rd. Kinda of odd area, but worth the visit.
I truly look forward to their «Tuesday Night Test Batch» every week. This is a night of the week where they say, «Hey lets try putting peaches in an awsome beer. Or how about pistachio beer?» Either damn way, I LOVE IT! These guys are rocking it out. They have pool tables, dart boards, stand up shuffle boards, and tvs to keep you occupied while you enjoy the fruits of their labor. They have tons of room and your choice of bartops, sofas, regular table, or just belly up at their 5 foot tall bar (you really do feel like Loonette the Clown from the Big Comfy Couch). There are a couple tables outside their big garage door and their parking lot is usually filled with a food truck.
They also have free wifi here if you need to buckle down and get some work done. I may or may not have done this on a couple of occasion. When I do that, I don’t check in. SHHHHH.
Stop in and check them out. You won’t regret it.

Big place with its own brew of beer selections. I’m not much of a beer drinker but the cider was really good. I did taste the Strawberry Ale and it wasn’t bad but not my speed. They food truck outside made some pretty awesome looking burgers which smelled great. I will have to go back just to try out the food truck. They have bottled sodas and water and beer. They have no ice if you like ice with your drink other than beer that is. They have a pool and shuffleboard table and a few t.v.‘s to take in whatever may be on. Someone ordered a pizza that was delivered while I was there so I guess BYOF is acceptable. Check it out!

They make the most authentic beer in Lexington! The German beers and the comfortable atmosphere make this a must in Lexington. A new 16 story apartment complex is planned to built across the street, so I am not sure how this place will change and grow over the years.
This has a less trendy, less unfinished vibe than West Sixth with warm wood floors and beautiful copper distilling barrels (not sure what these are called). Most nights you can catch the master brewer in his overalls and rain boots.

This is my personal favorite of all of our local breweries. Even if you’re the DD and not drinking, you can use play pool, or the free darts. This is only brewery that you’ll find a pool table. There is a small fee to use the it, but it’s one of the few places in Lexington where you’ll find a pool table. They also have a newly added shuffleboard table, it is $ 2 to play and is a 2 or 4 person game. They have trivia on Thursdays and often you’ll find a live local band and a food truck.
I love the location and that it’s close to downtown but far enough to avoid some of the downtown traffic. Street parking is usually easy to find but I recently noticed a newly paved parking lot across the street. I’m not too sure if I was allowed to park there, I wasn’t towed, so that was a good sign. There wasn’t a sign indicating that it was Blue Stallion’s lot, but it seemed like it was. They’ll probably have a sign up soon, either stating that it’s Blue Stallion parking or not, but the last time I was there, there wasn’t any signage.
I’m not a huge beer fan, but I’m coming along. I like to order a flight of five, that way I can try five different beers. The flights are $ 2.00 for each sample of beer, so a flight of five is $ 10.00. Some of the high APV beers are $ 3.00 per sample. They have «Test Batch Tuesdays» featuring concoctions made by people other than just the brewers.
They brew several of their own beers and they feature other craft beers too.
They’ll give you a tour of the brewery, if you schedule or request one in advance. I’ve taken the brewery tour twice, each time walking away knowing more about the brewing process.
Be prepared to snap some photos because the copper tanks are worthy of posting and sharing on social media… and here on Unilocal,of course. Your friends will thank you later, especially the ones who will discover this gem thanks to you. Oh, and if you tag them on your Instagram and Twitter post, it’ll pop up on the tv at the bar… genius marketing guys!
Recently they hosted a Unilocal event at Blue Stallion. Xavier Donnelly (one of the owners) was the one who gave us the brewery tour.
They have a loft area that is an awesome place to host a group.
Another owner and Xavier’s brother, Kore is the brewer of of the family, he too is one of the local owners who were born and raised right here in Lexington. Did I mention that these guys are awesome?!
If you’re researching Lexington breweries, all of the local breweries are fairly close to each other, but none are within walking distance of each one. We have a free public transportation trolley line that stops right in front of one of the other local breweries and the closest stop to Blue Stallion is at the corner of Jefferson and 3^rd.
I love that Lexington is catching on to the craft beer scene, even more so than Louisville. Pretty soon, you won’t even hear of Budweiser and Coors in this great city… Boom shocka!

Great beer — very unique. The group of five owners have done a great job with their brews and all five we tried in our flight were great. The layout is very comfortable and a great place to relax with friends and try new beers.

I first tried beer from this brewery at Brewer’s Jam in Knoxville, Tn last year. I don’t remember exactly what I tried (I drank A LOT that day) but I know I loved it and grabbed a sticker to take home. Fast forward to present tense. My husband and I planned a one night trip to Lexington and we were searching for local breweries and distilleries to visit. As soon as I saw this place on Unilocal,I recognized the logo and knew we had to go. We stopped in around 11:30 tonight so I was only able to try one beer before last call. I chose the O’Fallon pumpkin beer. It was really good! I’ve also had the Schwarzbier at The Pharmacy in Nashville and it is awesome. The best dark beer because you still get the rich flavor of a dark beer but it’s super light and doesn’t fill you up after 2 beers. This is a hip place and if we lived here, we would probably go often.

I love local craft breweries. I know, that comes as a shock to those of you who have read any of my reviews. But I DO! And we made it a point to go try out Blue Stallion. Glad I did. FIrst off, the taproom is adjacent to the wide open brew room so you can see the tanks and supplies quite easily. The first thing of note, however, is the massive bar. And I mean MASSIVE. If it’s not 4 – 5 feet to the top of the bar I’ll buy your next round. Even with tall, need-​a-​boost kind of bar stools, it wasn’t enough to raise the bar level much beyond shoulder height. So you really had to reach up there to get your beer. I’m sure some of our vertically disadvantaged friends may actually have a tough time speaking over the bar top! Perhaps its that way so that when you’ve consumed one too many of their delightful brews, your head doesn’t have far to fall before it finds a place to rest.
But the beer? Oh yeah. These guys are committed to brewing German style beers so don’t be looking for their own pale ales or anything. But they do have on tap some guest beers including Founders, Uinta, etc. so there really is something for everyone. I learned to love Dunkel through frequent trips to Germany and let me tell you, Blue Stallion has an authentic style Dunkel! Served in a half liter (not pint!) mug and it goes down so easily! Loved it. Didn’t get to try their other beers but I’m assuming they are all just as good given their commitment to traditional German style brews. I’ll be back for sure next time I’m in town!

Honestly, this has quickly turned into my favorite taproom in Lex. All the breweries here offer different stlyes and different atmosphers, but I like this places style. Super friendly staff, and an exceptional quality of german style beer. They also have several guest taps… I was able to get one of my favorites from Country Boy while I was there.
They are also dog friendly, and have had some great food trucks like Gastro Gnomes, Rolling Oven and Ellos. Its a must see, do, and enjoy.
