Guides
15 Breweries to Try Across Kansas City
Casual Animal Brewing Co.
Last month, we asked for reader feedback on your favorite breweries across Kansas City to help us update our Kansas City Brewery Guide. Well, you answered.
We hadn’t updated our guide since July 2023, and it only included six local breweries. We read through every single response to our survey, sorted out the most requested spots, and updated our guide to include 15 of the top local breweries across the metro. We’ve also included an interactive map to help you find your way to your next local beer.
Cheers to you, cheers to beers, and cheers to Kansas City!
