KENTUCKY Yes, Kentucky is awash in bourbon — but it has plenty of wine, beer and other spirits, too: As in the 13 breweries on the West Kentucky Brew Hop , bopping along from Owensboro to Bowling Green to Paducah. Feeling moody ? Ashland’s Tomcat Bourbons and Brew House presents two bars and two moods: spirited convo on one side, pool and darts on the other — bourbon and craft taps, patio and music for all. If fruit is more your jam, Augusta’s Baker-Bird Winery offers superlative sips at the only winery to survive a Civil War battle. Logan County’s only winery since Prohibition, Auburn’s Carriage House Vineyards , tickles the tongue with strawberry, white peach and mandarin fruit wines. Then there’s good ol’ Kentucky moonshine, (now) made legally at Sparta’s Neely Family Distillery , and a chance to see how barrels are blazed to impart flavor at East Bernstadt’s Cumberland Cooperage .
