Craft Beer Scene Kansas City?

This site is your friend.

 

Stick with the higher rated stores listed in the directory & you should be fine. I did find the lack of good brewpubs up there suprising. Enjoy the BBQ & way more relaxed people/traffic/lifestyle than DC...

 

Bridgers Bottle Shop in Westport. Just opened. Thank me later

 

I've heard it's in Wichita, not sure if it is closer.

 

I want to say about 2.5 hours, but I might be a bit of a speeder ( not recommended in KS )

edit: 2.5-3 hours...

 

That's weird that Wichita would have it in cans, since in Topeka we were told we didn't get any cans because it was out of season. They brought some kegs over, but that's it.

 

Sometimes Goebel's gets some stuff first or least it seems that way to me. Not sure. Not sure if it has to do distributors or what???

 

My family still lives there and I visit quite a few times a year. I travel quite a bit for work and comparing KC to a lot of other cities out there, I think they are doing pretty well... I'd say it's definitely one of the cheaper beer scene cities out there.

You may have come across this already, but I always check out this page before a visit. Great info too:

Probably man. Distro politics (who gets what and why) are beyond me.

 

Oskar Blues is in Lawrence as well.

 

Bryan, I would go hit Freestate in Lawrence & then scarf up some OB some day off in the future...
