Ethereal Brewing

This 25-acre property was home to the historic James E. Pepper Distillery, which began making bourbon in 1879. However, in 1958 the site was abandoned completely, untouched for nearly 50 years. Ethereal Brewing was the second business to open in spite of the clear neglect of the existing structures and the moonscape like parking lot. Ethereal Brewing’s story began as two friends, Brandon Floan and Andrew Bishop, home brewing together for fun. As one started brewing at Lexington Brewing Co, the other worked in FoH restaurants. They decided to combine their skills to open their own brewery. All real ingredients, no cut corners. They’re excited to still be doing what they love and appreciate the opportunity to host lasting memories. 🍻
