Churchill Downs Racetrack has announced a new collaboration with Louisville-based TEN20 Craft Brewery to debut Churchill Downs Light, a light lager inspired by the traditions and atmosphere of a day at the races.
Crafted with a crisp, clean finish and subtle citrus notes, the lager is designed to be refreshing and easy to enjoy. The 16-ounce can prominently features Churchill Downs’ iconic Twin Spires, a silhouette of a galloping Thoroughbred, and jockey silks—symbolizing the heritage of the historic racetrack.
“Creating Churchill Downs Light has been a labor of love—rooted in craftsmanship, community, and celebration,” said Jim McGuire, co-owner of TEN20 Craft Brewery. “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 new lager will be available starting Thursday, April 17 at select retail locations, as well as on-site at TEN20 taprooms and Churchill Downs itself, just in time for the excitement of Kentucky Derby Week.
To mark the launch, a public release party will be held at TEN20’s Butchertown taproom (1020 E. Washington St., Louisville, KY 40206) on Friday, April 18 at 6 p.m. ET. The celebration will include the first public tasting of Churchill Downs Light, food from local vendors, and a live ESPN Louisville radio broadcast.
