Celebrate Fall at Copper & Kings' Apple Brandy Festival

One of Louisville's most distinctive distilleries is welcoming fall with a celebration of apple brandy, seasonal cocktails and local flavors, giving visitors another reason to experience the city's vibrant food and beverage scene.

Copper & Kings will host its Apple Brandy Fall Festival on Saturday, Oct. 17, from noon to 7 p.m., bringing together fall-inspired cocktails, local vendors, live music and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the season.

Guests can enjoy a lineup of fall beverages, including spiked apple brandy cider, traditional cider, pumpkin beer and other seasonal pours. Copper & Kings will also host cocktail demonstrations throughout the day showcasing its signature American apple brandy, while fresh apple doughnuts and local food offerings add to the festive atmosphere.

Live music, hourly giveaways and a variety of local vendors will fill the distillery's courtyard before the celebration moves to the rooftop later in the afternoon. Organizers are also planning pumpkin-themed activities, face painting, local shopping opportunities and additional entertainment to be announced closer to the event.

Known for blending Kentucky's bourbon heritage with innovative American brandy production, Copper & Kings has become one of Louisville's most distinctive spirits destinations. Long before bourbon earned its place as Kentucky's signature spirit, American apple brandy was a staple of early distilling traditions. Copper & Kings celebrates that heritage while putting a distinctly modern spin on brandy production, creating spirits that connect bourbon's past with one of America's oldest distilled beverages.

The Apple Brandy Fall Festival is free and open to the public. Guests must be 21 or older to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages.
