Brewing In The Distillery District
A history of Ethereal Brewing and Pepper Distillery
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 place on the property begins with Andrew Bishop traveling to Northwood IA to visit family where he found his uncle brewing beer in a small brewery and taproom called Worth Brewing. Andrew saw this as his future, owning and operating a Craft Brewery. He soon found a partner in beer, Brandon Floan, who was captivated by the science of the production of craft beer.
Since then, this revitalized piece of Lexington history has become a lively downtown destination. Along with Ethereal Brewing, you’ll find a cidery, a craft ice cream store, a coffee shop and multiple options for food and drink at one of Lexington’s most exciting hotspots.
