Exciting News for Food Lovers in Lexington!
Lexington is buzzing with excitement as the Hazelwood Brewing Company gears up to unveil its new kitchen on February 4, 2025. Nestled in the scenic Old Mill at 711 E Main St., this beloved brewery has been serving craft beer enthusiasts for over five years, making a significant mark on the local scene since its brewing journey kicked off in 2018.
The Kitchen Adventure Begins
Although Hazelwood Brewing first introduced food options by inviting food trucks to their space in 2022, the launch of this kitchen marks a new chapter. This culinary addition is designed to mimic an on-premise food truck experience, where guests can effortlessly place their orders through QR codes. It’s a unique twist that keeps things modern and user-friendly!
What’s Cooking?
So, what can you expect from the upcoming menu? The kitchen isn’t going to be your typical full-service restaurant, but a delightful hybrid food truck setup that brings the best of both worlds. You can look forward to an array of flatbreads, sandwiches, and delicious snacks, all crafted with care. The menu will have its share of seasonal changes, showcasing the freshest ingredients available.
With two talented chefs leading the culinary charge, the goal is to highlight local and seasonal produce. This approach not only supports local farmers but also guarantees that diners enjoy the best flavors every time they visit. Foodies, be on the lookout for a highlight dish—a mouthwatering cheesesteak sandwich featuring house-made beer cheese. How’s that for savoring a rich culinary experience paired with top-notch craft beer?
Upscale Bar Food, Anyone?
Hazelwood’s mission is clear: to elevate your dining experience with what they refer to as “upscale bar food”. This means you won’t just be filling your belly while sipping on well-crafted beers; you will be indulging in flavors that surprise and delight your taste buds!
Adapting to Challenges
It hasn’t always been smooth sailing, though. The brewery faced some hiccups when it came to weather-related cancellations affecting the food truck vendors they typically partnered with. That’s part of the reason behind stepping up to create this dedicated kitchen space. With a growing customer base embracing the brewery and its offerings, it was only fitting to invest in a solution that keeps the food flowing regardless of the weather!
A Community-Focused Approach
Over the years, Hazelwood Brewing has developed a fun and creative ethos not just with their beer but also with food. Matt Rodgers, an experienced figure in the brewing industry with a background growing hops on his family’s farm since 2005, has made it a point to ensure that community engagement is at the heart of everything they do. This kitchen launch is a response to the ever-growing needs of the patrons who have come to love this friendly spot.
Count Down to February!
As the countdown to February 4th begins, make sure to keep your eyes peeled for updates from Hazelwood Brewing Company. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, a visit to this brewery promises to be a delightful culinary adventure, bringing the community together through the love of good food and great beer. Get ready, Lexington—something delicious is on the horizon!
