The Boneyard Well
The Boneyard Well is the first ever liquor store in Beattyville, KY. The town and county has been a "dry" community since prohibition times. But in 2019, the townsfolk voted to allow the sell of alcohol. The Well is an affiliate company with the Boneyard Hollow Offroad Park located in Leeco, KY just 15 minutes north of Beattyville, close to the Red River Gorge Area.
The Well will be set up at the festival offering tastings of bourbons and moonshines that they offer for sale in the store. Check them out on Facebook!

Hartfield & Co.
Hartfield & Company is a small batch distillery located in Paris, KY. We are the first licensed distiller in Bourbon County since prohibition forced the closure of the distilling industry in 1919.

Limestone Branch Distillery
It all began when a man named Jacob Beam sold his first barrels of corn whiskey called Old Jake Beam in 1770. Seven generations later, brothers Stephen and Paul Beam started their own chapter of the family history book as the proud Kentucky bourbon distillers behind Limestone Branch Distillery. Stephen and Paul broke ground on Limestone Branch on May 26, 2011. The brothers reconstructed a small distillery reminiscent of an era gone by. Just short of a year later, they got out the big scissors for a ribbon cutting on February 17, 2012.
Check out their award-winning craft spirits.
