Beattyville Bourbon and Moonshine Festval

Celebrating the 3rd year of the festival....

​The largest export for Kentucky is Bourbon and the touring industries related to bourbon bring in visitors from all over the world. Moonshine also has a rich history in the hills of Appalachia and Beattyville, Kentucky is home to a few local moonshiners. 

A festival like this that combines bourbon and moonshine will be the first of its kind! The moonshiners of the Appalachian mountains are coming out of the hollers to share their stores because hey.. it's legal now!

​Distilleries from all over the state will be represented at our festival. The event will also include a panel of distillers telling their story, live music, festival food and of course bourbon and moonshine tastings.
