West Sixth Cantina Cook - Part Time West Sixth Farm (Frankfort)

About the organization

West Sixth Brewing is a craft brewery and taproom founded in and headquartered in downtown Lexington, KY. We focus on producing the highest quality craft beer, sharing it with others by distributing it to restaurants and bars throughout Kentucky. We also pop-up at events from Paducah to Pikeville, delivering a taste of our taprooms with communities in every part of the state. And we operate taprooms at our production facility, located in the Bread Box at 501 West Sixth Street; at our NuLu location in downtown Louisville; the West Sixth Farm in Franklin County; and our newest spot in Northern Kentucky, the West Sixth Covington Haus. Along the way, we’ve also expanded to include private events and catering at these locations, as well kitchens at our NuLu taproom (the Galley) and our Farm taproom (West Sixth Cantina)

Over the years, we’ve worked hard to take care of our people and show up for our communities. From our choices to focus on green design inside the taproom, to our selection of cans for distributing our beer, to our commitment to give 6% of all net profits back to other community organizations via the Sixth for a Cause Foundation, we try to live our values in every decision we make.

We work hard, but we have fun. Working in the beer industry is all about taking care of our customers, each other, and celebrating everything from life’s major milestones to a simple beautiful weekday afternoon over a great, locally-made beer.
