Lexington, KY – August 7, 2024 – West Sixth Brewing and Lexington Sporting Club of the United Soccer League (USL) proudly announce the release of Stadium Ale, a new craft beer celebrating Lexington’s vibrant soccer community.

Stadium Ale, the official craft beer of Lexington SC, will be available at the newly constructed Lexington Stadium starting September 8, 2024, as well as at all West Sixth Brewing taprooms, retail locations, and bars throughout Lexington.
