Being named after one of our favorite neighborhoods in KC (Brookside), it’s only fitting that they brew some of our favorite beers in the city. The always-rotating menu of hop-forward ales brings in beer aficionados from all over the country. Be sure to grab a 4-pack of your favorite before you leave.

No Kansas City brewery list would be complete without including Boulevard Brewing Company. Launched in 1989, Boulevard has grown to become the largest craft brewery in the Midwest producing national favorites such as Boulevard wheat, Pale Ale, and Tank 7. And their beer hall offers one of the best places to hang in the city with great food and drink, tours, shuffleboard, and excellent views of the KC skyline.

“Hoppy, Wild, and Sour”. City Barrel experiments with a variety of styles to bring you unique beers you won’t find anywhere else in KC. Paired with a chef-driven food menu, make this stop in the Crossroads a priority when thirst and hunger strike together. For what it’s worth, the Rad AF is one of our favorite brews in the city.

Prost! KC Bier Co. brings German-style beer to the KC scene using hops exclusively from the Hallertau Valley in Kulmbach, Germany. Stop by their garden in Waldo (conveniently right alongside the Trolley Track trail) and grab yourself a Dunkel when it’s cool outside, and a Hefeweizen when it’s warm.

No neighborhood in KC has more claim to historical fame than the stockyards in the West Bottoms, and the team at Stockyards Brewing Co. embraces that wholeheartedly. Opening in 2016, Stockyards strives to brew great beer that honors its neighborhood’s industrial past. Mexican-style lagers are among the hottest styles in the U.S. right now, and Stockyards’ Cerveza Royale is one of our favorites.

Missouri’s first Black-owned brewery is making waves in the beer community and was named a “Best Brewery to Watch in 2024” by Hop Culture. Grab yourself a Hood Saison (Farmhouse Ale), which has quickly become one of our favorite beers in the city.
