The fine folks at Alltech Lexington Brewing and Distilling Co., brewers of Kentucky Bourbon Ale and the like, are planning to kick off their latest craft brewing venture with the classiest of groundbreakings and opening remarks this Thursday, July 30.

Dueling Barrels Brewing & Distilling Co. in downtown Pikeville, Ky., will include both a brewery and distillery at the site. The distillery will represent a sophisticated moonshine distillery with a visitor’s center, while the unique visitor experience will celebrate Appalachian history and the role of moonshine.

The facility will produce Dueling Barrels Bourbon, Dueling Barrels Moonshine and Pikeville Ale. While Dueling Barrels will be part of the Alltech Beverage Division, its manufacturing and production will be unique from that of Alltech Lexington Brewing & Distilling Co. in Lexington.
