LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY
After July ’04 Louisville visit, headed to the charming well-kept college town of Lexington. Next to Kitty O’Shea’s Irish Pub at University of Kentucky campus lies two-level pizza joint Pazzo’s, a splendid microbrew haven offering fine Belgian, English, and American beer on tap and in bottle.
On tap, discovered uncompromising Alltech’s Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale, a decanted barrel-aged slow sipper with syrupy bourbon-whiskey-sherry warmth, resinous hop char, and oaken vanilla remnant.
