Dry Ground Brewing Company

Love this place. Very knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed the live entertainment & great brews.

Clearly, this place gets it. Perfect atmosphere, outstanding beer, and always great company.
The set-​up really lends itself well to conversation and getting to know people. It is built into the back of an old Coke bottling plant, ironic that it is the new king of Paducah beverages! 12 of their own beers on tap, I won’t make a recommendation, because I assume you have your favorite. I like Preacher Pils and Fresh Plowed because I’m a pilsner or saison guy. The ’37 Flood and Adam’s Beard varieties are also popular, it just depends on your beer taste. There will always be 10 – 15 «guest beers» on tap also. There is a beer flight of any 6 for just $ 12, give that a shot if you aren’t sure.
They don’t have any food, so bring something with you! If you’re lucky you’ll find a bowl of peanuts on your table. I would recommend getting something at Midtown Market across the street and bringing it in.
Pro-​tip, go to the left end of the bar, under the huge BEER HERE sign to order. There won’t be a waiter coming around to your table.

OMG… they have amazing microbrews! If you are a local, you better already be a regular or you are missing out. If you are driving down 24 like me, you need to stop in for a beer! By far the best beers I have had in a few years!

Good casual place to hang out, reasonably priced drinks. However, they do need little more snacks, but beers are good!

Evidently, Paducah brewers are grooving on reclaimed spaces — this microbrewery and taproom is in the former Coca Cola bottling plant. They keep it pretty simple here — it’s all about the beer. Bar and tasting area are attractively nestled into the production area, and there’s ample room adjacent to the tasting area (in faded Coca-​Cola red, of course) for spreading out. The beers I tasted were good to outstanding — several of their high ABV beers (Adam’s Beard, Rapture) were particularly good. They also offer a very strong Saison /​Farmhouse ale. The IPA left me wanting just a bit more bite and tang… Overall, great addition to a surprising micro-​brew-​scene in Paducah.

My parents still live in KY and whenever I go home to visit, this is a definite stop while I’m there. I love the atmosphere, the guys behind the bar, the flights, the beer. The patio and fireplace just adds to the already coolness of it. I really love coming here. They have 10 of their beers on tap and a few visitors. I just the 10 on a flight and settle in for some good beer tasting…
I do wish they would have a root beer or cola on site though — Went with my parents and my mom can’t drink and was stuck with water. She was fine with it but would have been nice to have another option.

First of all the beers are mostly good. That is the only positive thing I can say about this place. My wife and I have been there twice. And both times the bartender was very rude to my wife. We went the week it opened .She does not drink and asked for something non-​alcoholic. The bartender asked her why she was there and pointed to the water over in the corner the made a wisecrack about her to some other people at the bar. About two months later we thought we would give the place one more try. Same sort of treatment happened again. We have heard similar stories from other people we know. My advice is forget this place and go to Paducah Beer Werks. The beer is better, they have a fine menu, and the staff is friendly and professional and treat their customers with respect.

I live in Nashville area & have been Home Brewing & Tasting for 20+ years and respect all the beer varieties available. This is the first time I have found a brewery where EVERY style of their brew has been excellent & with 12 different Dry Ground brews on tap that’s saying a lot. There are a variety of other beers /​guest taps to choose also, games/​entertainment, with phenomenal atmosphere, and a friendly & knowledgeable staff. Outside even has a fire pit area to relax by and outdoor table seating too. I highly recommend anyone traveling to or through Paducah to stop in! You will not be disappointed.

I do craft beer and breweries. I love to visit and try craft beer all over the usa. This Brewery/​Taproom is tops. The atmosphere is relaxed and the beers are delicious.
Located in the outskirts of Downtown Paducah, KY and in the old Coca Cola plant creates an interesting venue for a brewery. Twelve of their own beers on tap and not a bad one in the bunch. The owner and assistant brewer even sat with us to imbibe.
Absolutely loved it!

Very impressed with this spot. Lots of options besides their own brews. I was really surprised how reasonably priced everything was.
The ambiance is amazing. Love the reclaimed wood tables. I noticed they had some board games which would be awesome if hanging out with a group.
I had the Lambic Framboise (one of my favorite summer choices), and my husband had a flight. He got a 32oz growler of the double IPA (don’t remember the name). And it was only $ 13 including the growler. Refills are $ 9, which is a great deal. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town.

It’s very likely that I’m spoiled by all the microbreweries I have access to since I live in Nashville, but for a small town operation, this place is pretty solid. I can’t say I was in love with all their selections (we got flights to try them all out), but if you’re cruising through Paducah and like beer, I’d recommend stopping here. They’re in an old Coca-​Cola bottling plant, so the space is great.

We had an awesome time here. Beer was excellent and we even wound up taking a couple growlers home! Very neat atmosphere. Very friendly owners and staff!

So, this place is a little hard to find due to lack of signage. It’s in the old coke plant. And once you find it, it’s going to be hard to leave. The beer is fantastic. The fermentation tanks are within arms reach of the tables. This is cool if you have an interesT in the brewing process. It also gives the place a great atmosphere. The service was fantastic, knowledgeable, and prompt. This is such a well-​done microbrewery, I can’t wait to get back.

Knowledgeable staff with an ambiance that is welcoming and unique. Setup is in old Coke Factory with fermenters and lab equipment right next to your table. Beautiful tree behind bar that maybe was fabricated by local artist. The beer’s made by Dry Ground were true to their style and I enjoyed about everything I tasted. Lots of other microbrew on draft! Highly recommend experiencing this brewery.

My first time here and it was great! I went in with no expectations and was happily surprised by the staff/​owner-​operators, the ambiance and the beer! Perfect for any occasion plus there’s a mini fire pit on the patio. If you’re in Paducah you’re coming here, you’re ordering an Adam’s Beard and you’re going to have a good time.

They have done a very nice job staying true to their craft. Their in house brew is extremely well executed. The guest beer selection is hand picked and reflects their in house quality.

Western Kentucky finally has their own brewery! The pub has a superb atmosphere: no tv’s, just good tunes and great conversation. The staff was very accommodating and ready to answer any questions about the beers. This place is very much a family business and reeks with positive vibes. Get a flight for $ 12 and see which of the 7 local beers tickles your fancy. They also have guest brews on tap as well, but you won’t see any of the the commercial brews here. My favorite was the saison called Adam’s beard and I took a growler back to Louisville with me.
