Neat & Mixed from Hops & Spirits

We welcome in Kevin Patterson (2:50 mark), cicerone/national beer judge and manager for The Beer Trappe Craft Beer Store & Bar in Lexington, for our Q&A. He talks about how he got into craft beer, what it took to be a cicerone and national beer judge, how he ended up at The Beer Trappe, what folks can expect when visiting the bar/store, beer trends he's seen lately, his favorite recent pours, teaching beer school and more.

What's Pouring Kentucky (0:30 mark): Newport on the Levee will soon be home to Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville Resort and be home to multiple new restaurants and a coveted hotel. Goodbounce Pickleball Yard is now open in Louisville while Ale-8-One is debuting a new limited-edition peach flavor in May and Louisville Ale Trail’s 502 Beer Appreciation Day returns.
