'We set out to brew something approachable and refreshing that embodies the spirit of Churchill Downs, and we're proud to see it come to life alongside an iconic venue like Churchill Downs.' The beer is currently available at the brewery's tap rooms and will be sold on site at Churchill Downs Derby week and beyond. TEN20 opened its flagship brewery in Butchertown, 1020 E. Washington St., in 2020. It expanded to the Anchorage neighborhood at 11505 Park Road the following year. In 2022, the brewery opened a third location in a former Heine Brothers on Douglass Loop in the Highlands, at 2200 Bardstown Road, though that location will close at the end of April. Jim McGuire, TEN20 co-founder, told Louisville Business First the brewery decided not to renew the lease and planned to focus on upgrading its flagship Butchertown location.
