About Kentucky Beer Cheese
Kentucky Beer Cheese operates from Nicholasville, Kentucky, where it was founded in 1987 by Sue and Jim Castano. The couple adapted a recipe from Johnny Alman's restaurant on the Kentucky River, and after friends clamored for more, Jim purchased a large Hobart mixer to launch the business. Diane and Chris Evans acquired the company in 2004 and have grown sales more than 300 percent while keeping the operation family owned. The company produces two lines: Kentucky Beer Cheese in Regular and Hot flavors, and a newer Kentucky Benedictine Spread. The Benedictine spread blends cream cheese, pureed cucumber, onion juice, and mayonnaise. Packaging runs include 8‑ounce, 5‑pound, and 10‑pound containers from their facility on Industry Parkway. The brand has developed a following beyond Kentucky, driven by word of mouth and festival recognition. The Evanses continue that mission by insisting on small batch runs, which they say preserve flavor consistency and authenticity. The approach has earned first place at the Winchester Beer Cheese Festival in 2011, 2017, and 2018, and second place in 2013.
