Zippy microbrews served amid clucking hens and blackberry brambles? Yes please. Lexington’s West Sixth Brewing grows hops, apples and many of its other ingredients on this 120-acres property. Play cornhole (beanbag toss), wander the four miles of trails, or sit outside and work your way through the 10 beers on tap.
Staff give free hour-long tours of the farm on Saturdays at 4pm; sign up in advance online.
