About Our Event Sponsors:

West Sixth NuLu - West Sixth Brewing's newest taproom and brewery in Louisville, KY.  
They focus their brewing talents on a wide variety of beers and are now canning upwards of 30 beers throughout the year with countless bottles being released. They share their beers in their taprooms throughout the state of Kentucky - In Lexington at our home brewery on West Sixth Street in the Bread Box, In Louisville at 817 E Market Street in NuLu, and at the West Sixth Farm (a 125 acre property with trails and a seasonal taproom) in Frankfort, KY. 

West Sixth, not only likes to make good beer but the social impact they are able to make on Kentucky communities is a top priority. They support the direct work of non-profits through their Sixth for a Cause Foundation - powered by programs such as Pay it Forward Cocoa Porter, Sixth for a Cause, Wooden Nickel, Pedaling for a Purpose, and statewide sponsorships. 


The Mayan Cafe located on Market Street in Louisville offers both catering and a dine-in restaurant experience.   Mayan Cafe feels that catered food is generally pretty unmemorable. They are in the business of changing that. Whether it’s a seasonal salad in your box lunch or braised beef in chocolate mole sauce that they are serving at your event, they care about the flavor and presentation of all of it. Their restaurant's farm to table sourcing extends to their catering as well, so know that their greens are farm fresh and their meats are sustainably-sourced.
