Taps on Main – Somerset, KY

Captains Log Day 4: one of the unique benefits of living full-time in a motorhome is you can change plans on-the-fly. One of our family members fell ill and we detoured from our planned trip to Texas and headed north to Kentucky a couple of days ago. Now landed at a small, remote RV park in the hills of southern KY, we ventured out to our 1st brewery in 4 days. Just 15 minutes from camp, this small-batch brewery is one-of-a-kind making batches in what looked like chrome 55-gallon drums. Connected to a gas station/convenience store, the tasting room was formally Billy Bubbles car wash. Yes, an automatic drive through car wash! Even though the town was on lockdown due to Covid 19, we took our chances and were lucky to stop by when the owner was there “kegging” his latest batch of beer. Bill welcomed us in as “beer consultants” and served up his Honey Cream pale ale and Hazy Brown IPA over stories of how this brewery came to be and a tour of his operations. The beer was one of the best we’ve had in a long time.
