Have a Drink on UsFew places around the globe are known for the spirits they produce. Kentuckyproudly carries that distinction. While some of our beverages are well known, othersare growing in stature and popularity.For example, we export wine to France, vodka to Russia and scotch to Scotland.We even make legal moonshine! But bourbons, wines and craft beers are garneringthe most attention. Our perfect combination of climate, soil conditions and purelimestone water are factors in our success.BourbonThe world associates bourbon with Kentucky, and with good reason. Ninety-fivepercent of the world’s supply is distilled here, and production continues to grow. Just20 years ago, annual production was less than 500,000 barrels. Today, productionhas almost tripled.Bourbon is America’s only native spirit. To be called bourbon, it must meet certainrequirements: 51% corn Aged in charred new oak barrels Bottled at no less than 80 proof.There are more than 70 bourbon distilleries in Kentucky, owned by large corporationsand small craft distillers. Collectively, the industry generates more than 8.5 billionin revenue annually and employs more than 20,000 Kentuckians. More than 2.3billion in capital projects has been completed or is planned over the next five years.Top Bourbon Manufacturing Employers in Kentucky1.2.3.4.5.6.Jim Beam 1,298Buffalo Trace1,213Woodford Reserve1,166Heaven Hill622Wild Turkey 151Four Roses 105Bourbon also is a visitor attraction with many distilleries offering tours and tastingsalong the official Kentucky Bourbon Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour.Nearly a million visitors travel all or parts of the trails each year.Kentucky bourbonis aged innew whiteoak barrelsthat have beencharred to enhancethe flavor and colorof the bourbon.

It’s also creating unique opportunities forKentucky farmers.Kentucky had over 70 microbreweries in 2019, up from five just a decade prior,and they employed an over 1,000 people, the Kentucky Guild of Brewers reported.Beer production in Kentucky generates 495 million of economic impact a year.The Kentucky legislature doubled the maximum legal production of a Kentuckymicrobrewery to 50,000 barrels per year in 2016, touching off a wave of expansionin the industry.The growth of craft brewing in Kentucky has boosted demand for hops, and Kentuckyfarmers could fill that need. Kentucky’s climate and landscape are ideal for the crop; infact, hop production was widespread in Kentucky, particularly Northern Kentucky, untilthe early 20th century. In 2016, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture initiated talkswith brewers, universities and hop growers to study the potential for hop productionin Kentucky.WineSome say that Kentucky was “the original wine country” in the U.S., since the country’sfirst commercial vineyard started here in 1798. The climate and soil combine to makea perfect combination for growing grapes.Prohibition nearly wiped out wine production in Kentucky, but in recent years, it hasmade a dramatic resurgence. In 2000, only 10 wineries existed in the commonwealth.Just as Kentucky’s bourbon industry has attracted a legion of tourists, so has wine.More than 216,000 visitors from across the globe sipped and savored last year inKentucky wineries, and the attraction to the Kentucky grape continues to grow.The full economic impact was measured recently at 165.3 million annually, whichsupports more than 1,250 Kentucky jobs. 165.3 MFull economic impact ofKentucky wine & grapes 37.2 M IN WAGESGenerated by Kentucky’swine industry70 SMALL WINERIESare in operation, producing173,000 GALLONSfermented per year.100,000 BARRELSOF BEERare produced by Kentuckycraft brewers each year
Beyond People FoodKentucky’s food and beverage industry continues to expand in additional areas toserve the growing need for customers, and the state’s animal feed sector is helpingspur that growth.Kentucky has more than 30 manufacturing operations that produce food andnutritional supplements for animals.Pet food producers take care of many of the country’s pets, while a wide varietyof mills and other producers provide food and supplements for larger animals.Manufacturers have found Kentucky ideal because of abundant natural resourcesand local suppliers.Manufacturers: Kentucky Animal and Pet Food1.2.3.4.5.6.Alltech Inc NicholasvilleChampion Petfoods USAAuburnDinovite CrittendenExcel Equine LouisvilleFresh Choice Complete DietWarsawHill’s Pet NutritionBowling GreenFeeding into HorsepowerKentucky’s iconic equine industry is powered by a number of animal feed businesses,both large and small.Alltech, a world-class animal nutrition company employing about 700 people inNicholasville, develops animal feed additives that keep horses healthy.

Supply Chain CentralKentucky’s food and beverage industry continues to expand in additional areas to support growing customer demand.That growth is exemplified from the rise in production from animal feed to wood products to aluminum production.Wood grown in Kentucky is being used for a variety of food and beverage-related purposes. The bourbon industry hasproduct aging in nearly 10 million Kentucky-made barrels, and that number continues to grow. That has contributed to theinflux of barrel stave manufacturers, such as Independent Stave Co., which operates four locations in Kentucky.In addition, wooden pallets and crates manufactured from Kentucky wood carry food and beverage products throughoutthe world. There are even billions of ice cream sticks being produced at Smartwood’s facility in Corbin.The impact of food and beverage on the aluminum industry can’t be ignored. The Logan Aluminum facility in WesternKentucky accounts for nearly half of all aluminum can production in North America. Additionally, Crown Holdings in early2020 announced a new facility in Bowling Green that will produce 1.3 billion cans annually. Also locating in Bowling Greenis Ball Corp., which in January 2021 announced a new a 500,000-square-foot manufacturing facility to supply aluminumends to Ball’s expanding North American network of beverage can manufacturing plants.Consider the numerous food packaging facilities located across the state and it’s clear Kentucky has the food and beveragemarket cornered. Kentucky is home to nearly 200 aluminum-related facilities that employ over 20,000. The commonwealth has more than 230 plastics and rubber manufacturers, many of which serve the food andbeverage industry. Kentucky’s over 540 logistics and distribution facilities ensure products get to customers as quickly as possible.
Kentucky’s DistributorsOn top of a perfect location and an abundance of logistics options, Kentucky offers astrong network of food and beverage distributors who get product to market withoutdelay.Currently, more than 60 food- and beverage-related distributors and their 10,500employees criss-cross the state and the nation to deliver what America consumes.Those include such corporations as Walmart, Cordon Food Service, Beam Suntory,McLane, Papa John’s and Zenith Logistics, which distributes for the Kroger Company.Those distributors also take pride in providing a network of options where KentuckyProud products can get to retailers quickly.Whether products have to travel a few miles or a few thousand miles, Kentuckydistributors are available and ready to haul at a moment’s evillePBowling Green6975P692465PCorbinKENTUCKY’S TOPDISTRIBUTIONEMPLOYERSCompanyEmployeesBeam Suntory1,530McLane FoodService981Pepsi Beverage Co.844Walmart DistributionCenter 6066803Walmart DistributionCenter 6097795Zenith Logistics Inc.772Dollar General Corp.550Gordon Food Service550Papa John’s International540Creation Gardens470The Kroger Co.

New RecipesINNOVATION IMPROVES SAFETYSeveral Kentucky businesses are making dramatic advances in the area of food and medicine safety, using cutting-edgetechnology to protect both humans and animals. Some of the more innovative companies include:AlltechIn Nicholasville, Alltech has invested years of scientific research into the development of yeast and enzyme-based animalfeed supplements. With regulations differing from country to country, Alltech has researched and implemented bestpractices to keep animal food nutritionally balanced and free from contaminants such as heavy metals, mycotoxins, dioxinsand PCBs. Using the research, the company has established standards that meet or exceed the most stringent in the world.Hollison, LLCResearched and improved sampling methods for companies testing their food products in Ownesboro. Hollison’s team ofengineers, microbiologists and business development has developed two continuous sampling devices (DuraSampler andTrueSampler) that will allow customers to sample all food products continually, rather than through periodic sampling. Thisprocess improves food safety and is a more efficient method of testing.LGCIn Lexington, LGC has expanded its laboratories to ensure the safety of sports supplements for both human and animalathletes. LGC currently provides drug testing for high-profile equine events in the U.S. and the world, and minimizes the riskof a human athlete inadvertently committing a doping violation by consuming a contaminated supplement.
Agritech Grows in KentuckyThe world soon must drastically increase its food supply to feed a rapidly growing population, making agritech – the useof technology to make agricultural practices more efficient and our food supply more resilient and reliable – immenselyimportant. Kentucky, with its abundant farmland, nationally recognized role in advanced manufacturing, first-class logisticsservices and strong support for innovation, stands to play a leading role in this budding industry.Kentucky’s Agritech Advantages Central location: Kentucky’s borders lie within a day’s drive from two-thirds of the U.S. population. Agricultural roots: Abundant farmland & longstanding strength in agriculture Manufacturing leader: 13% of state’s workforce is in manufacturing, versus 8.5% nationallySuccess StoriesAgritech still has plenty of room to grow, but the building blocks are already in place for Kentucky to become a worldleader in this field.
