Bartender Bill Denham serves a Maple Bacon Old-Fashioned he made with bourbon and pure maple syrup and garnished with sugared bacon. The original cocktail is popular with cocktail drinkers at Bluegrass Kitchen.

House-made garnishes such as cocktail onions, sugared bacon, pickled green onions and brined Meyer lemons join an interesting selection of bitters at the bartenders' disposal for creative cocktail composition.

Jeff Carroll pulls a pint of Ovila, a craft beer brewed in the monastic tradition.
