Boulevard Teams Up With the Royals for Earth Day

In honor of Earth Day, Boulevard Brewing Co. is turning home runs into tree planting and park cleanups, teaming up with the Kansas City Royals, the Arbor Day Foundation, and KC Parks.

• Home Runs, Healthy Planet: Boulevard and the Royals will plant 425 trees for every 425-foot "moonshot" home run hit during the 2025 season. The effort is already underway thanks to Jac Caglianone’s April 6 blast. Boulevard also joins KC Parks’ “Partners in Parks” program by adopting Penn Valley Park and hosting monthly cleanups, including a city-wide event today with a NA Happy Hour for volunteers TODAY from 11am to 1:30pm.

• Green Beer: Boulevard’s environmental mission isn’t new—it’s been core to the brewery for over 35 years. From zero landfill practices to sustainable packaging and energy-saving facilities, the company’s “Save the Earth” efforts continue to grow.

Cinder Block Brewery To Debut New National Park-Themed Space

Cinder Block Brewery in North Kansas City is expanding its footprint with The Commons, a vintage national park-themed game bar.​

• New Neighbor: Located next door to the brewery at 110 E. 18th Ave., The Commons transforms a former dance club into a lively space with artificial grass, Adirondack swing chairs, and a variety of games including Skee-Ball, darts, shuffleboard, Foosball, pool tables, and classic arcade games like Ms. Pac-Man and Golden Tee.

• Eat & Drink: The bar will offer two exclusive Cinder Block beers, eight other local craft beers, craft cocktails, and slushies.​ West Plaza-based sandwich shop Bay Boy will operate its own kitchen within The Commons, bringing its popular offerings to the new venue.​
