This is a fairly new brewery to the Lees Summit area. A small group of us stopped in Saturday…read moreevening as we were sampling beers in Lee Summit. It's a great facility with bar seating as well as ample table seating. One thing that was nice is that they offer mixed drinks in addition to a variety of their beers and others. This is not always the case at breweries and it's a welcome option for several in our group. As with most breweries food is not really an offering. We ordered pizza and had it delivered which worked just fine for the group. However, I will say that they do offer hotdogs from a hotdog roller but that was not on the list for anyone in our group. Overall, I really liked the layout of this establishment which makes it perfect for groups to be able to come in and have a beer and have some fun and laughter. If you and your friends are looking to put together a mini pub crawl Lees Summit has quite an offering and this would be the perfect spot to start your crawl.

When we arrived, there were only a few other patrons, so it really wasn't busy. There were three employees working behind the bar, and they appeared to be occupied with something, which was understandable. However, despite sitting at the bar for several minutes, not one of them acknowledged or greeted us at any point. I grabbed a couple of menus for my wife and me, and after looking them over for several minutes, we ultimately decided to leave and take our business elsewhere. Unfortunately, because of that experience, I can't comment on the quality of the food or drinks. If you're looking for a brewery with good food, good beer, and a welcoming atmosphere, I'd recommend checking out Diametric Brewing Co., which is right down the street, or Station 7 Tavern, a Martin City Brewing Company restaurant.

Our bartender explained the different crafts on tap and even gave us a couple of samples to try. I ended up going with the "Mai Savior" - a Maibock (German) beer. Brewed for May 1st or "Bock Day", it has notes of malty honey with a slight caramel finish, and a 7.7% ABV. It was refreshing and very good! There are plenty of tv screens mounted throughout the building and with plenty of World Cup matches being played in different venues, it was easy to watch the different group play that was going on. And lo and behold in the corner there were 3 pinball machines! (I was really loving this place by now.) We had a great time playing them. Then, at the other end in the corner was a place where one can order pizza - which I can attest to it being very, very good. They have a covered outside seating area too that's pet friendly so feel free to bring your favorite K9 companion. What a great place! So, If you're in the Kansas City area I highly recommend you check them out!

The menu had a good variety of brew styles - barrel aged stouts, hazy IPA, fruited beer - and I ordered an English Pale Ale. I'm a sucker for English style beers, so it was an easy choice. I really enjoyed my drink and I look forward to visiting again. It's nice they have a kitchen space available to order food. Jimmy B's currently resides there and their pizza is very good.

That all changed over the weekend when we stopped in for some pre-dinner drinks. First of all it was their second anniversary party so it was BUSY, but we didn't let that stop us from checking them out! We figured out pretty fast that they have tons of great IPAS and Hazy IPAs on tap which are our favorites. Honestly, I think these are some of the best in the metro area, right up there with Alma Mater and City Barrel for me. The ambiance is chill, and the folks working kind. I truthfully can't wait to return and feel so lucky to have it a stonesthrow from our front door.

I forgot how good their beers were and I grabbed an IPA that was a collab with discourse (another favorite of mine) that was delicious. I also tried a lager and their sour which were both great. I will say the drinks added up quickly price wise with tip and maybe Fifa gratuity? I will come on a casual day and see how it feels again.

I love Strange Days! It's a great neighborhood brewery in River Market!…read more There is lots of seating inside, but they also have a big patio to hang out on. When the weather is nice, they have their garage doors open! The bartenders are super friendly and welcoming. They always have a great assortment of beers, and I have yet to be disappointed by one. There's always something interesting going on -- like right now they have a peanut butter and jelly seltzer!! You can build your own flight for $20, or you can do their daily variety flight for $15. You can order food from Burn Theory via a QR code on your table, and it is delivered right to you! There is a small parking lot that they share with Double Tap next door, but typically you can find street parking right on Oak St. They are huge soccer fans here! They're always open at weird hours to show soccer games!

We came from the airport because our flight was late (big shock). The area nearby was quiet in a slightly deserted way for Thursday. There is an upstairs and downstairs, connected to a Vine Street Chicken place. One could drink/eat upstairs but the Bingo was downstairs. It was quiet for a Thursday, only 9 or 8 tables playing. We sat with our flight and listened to the numbers and patterns. We didn't win anything but it was fun. I got samples of East 71 (Cream Ale); Worth the Climb (Pilsner); Jazzman (Dark Lager) and Hood Saison. I got a full pint of the Jazzman as well. The only food they serve is VIne Street chicken, so we ordered that after the game; we wanted to eat downstairs so my party picked it up and brought it downstairs. There was eventually a bartender downstairs as well. One not great thing was that when we arrived at 7 or so, (we parked nearby) the bar downstairs was not open, so we had to order upstairs and BRING the flight downstairs. No elevator! It was interesting taking a paddle of 4 small glasses of beer down a flight of stairs. I guess after 2 flights we did not want to wait til after Bingo to get beer. The food was very good, the chicken and mac/cheese was great, but the only sauce I liked was the peach Bourbon. Yum! Both bartenders were friendly and helpful, and there were board games and sofas for cool nights, and a nice outdoor patio for sitting outside. There was a cooler of cans to take home, but since we were flying it was best not to risk it. I'd go back later if I return to KC, esp to get a few cans to drink in my room instead of paying stadium prices!

One of the few locations that doesn't concentrate all energies on IPAs. They really like to do broad styles of beers and have some of the best Stouts, Porters, and Brown Ales in town! This place is also constantly having events. You can enjoy the main bar area with the giant group table in the center. Individual private tables along the walls. Great window seating for NOT WINTER. They also have the enclosed alley space, which is often used for private events or open for more comfy seating. Larger parties and events happen in the back parking lot!

The black IPA is always a favorite and I like the sours that occasionally make the tap list. They have a pretty wide variety of styles so there's something for everyone.

There is plenty of space to hang out at, and there is also live music on Sundays. I first came to this brewery years ago and had not been back because their beers, though good, were not my favorite. However, I stopped by on a Sunday in December in my quest to find local beers to gift to a friend and discovered that Stockyards had added sour beers to their menu. I am so glad that I came back here because the sour that I tried was amazing, and I had such a fun time hanging out with some cool Packers fans who shared their table with me and watching the game with them. As long as Stockyards Brewing keep making sours, I will be back. If you are a Packers fan, I was told that Stockyards Brewing is your haven.

They also have a smallish patio out back, a large back room with a bar (I believe it can be rented out), and the main tap room. Between the main room and back room there's a hallway with windows that look over the brewery so you get a little sneak peek. The main tap room has kept the original charm of the place. It's like stepping back in time but with AC and no cows. They don't offer food but will occasionally have food trucks or you can bring food in. Service is always friendly even when they are packed. They offer a variety of craft beer and they can also do cocktails. I love the brunch stout and the black IPA when it's in season. On my last visit I had a sour and I thought it was good. They also do a fun event on Sunday called stockyards Sunday service. During service they have live music which is usually bluegrass and it's always packed and fun. I recommend getting there early to get a seat. They usually have a food truck on board during it but check the socials to be sure. If you haven't been, definitely stop in and check them out.
