seating both inside or on their expansive patio, Pepper Campus also plays home to Middle Fork Kitchen Bar (a farm-to-table restaurant with a rotating menu and craft cocktails), Crank & Boom (homemade ice cream), The Break Room (indoor-outdoor bar with daily food truck options), Good- fellas Pizzeria, Barrel House Distilling, and Elkhorn Tavern (taproom for Barrel House Distilling). "Once you pull in, you kind of forget you're on Manchester Street. It's almost its own quaint little spot – a one-stop- shop of sorts, where people can go on two different distillery tours within 100 yards of each other, have a beer flight tasting, have an amazing meal at Middle Fork or take a more casual approach at Goodfellas or with one of the food trucks that are here most days, and you can top it all off with craft ice cream at Crank & Boom," said Bishop. Across town in North Lexington, West Sixth Brewing has been the catalyst for a similar trend. Housed in a 100-year-old building now known as the Bread Box, the expansive structure was once used as the Rainbo Bread factory. West Sixth wasn't going to need all 90,000 square feet of space to house their taproom and brewery, so they looked past their own brewing goals to create a mechanism for community development.
