People will be able to purchase a unique hundredth anniversary craft beer at the Barren River State Resort Park by mid-December.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear recently announced the launch of the centennial beer accompanied by personnel from the Louisville-based Against the Grain Brewery, which ferments the brew, and said that 5 percent of sales will go towards future state park improvements.
“Cheers to 100 years of Kentucky State Parks,” said Gov. Beshear. “As we celebrate this incredible milestone, it’s vital to remember that a portion of every sale of our special anniversary craft beer will directly support the future improvement of our beloved state parks.”
According to the press release, Kentucky has 44 state parks, 17 resort parks and 13 golf courses “offering opportunities for exploration, entertainment and education to Kentuckians and visitors from across the world” being both a tourism attraction and having economic significance.
“What a tremendous way to toast Kentucky State Parks and the important role they play in Kentucky tourism,” Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Secretary Lindy Casebier said. “Kentuckians and visitors alike can enjoy a specially made Against the Grain lager in commemoration of the parks system’s centennial. This innovative partnership will allow folks from near and far to join in the celebration.”
The light lager beer will be available for purchase in four packs of 16-ounce cans.
