I finally made it out to the Cinder Block taproom after drinking their beer around Kansas City for…read moreyears, and honestly there's something cool about finally sitting where it all actually gets made. The space feels relaxed and approachable without trying too hard. Big open taproom, easy atmosphere, good energy. The kind of brewery where you can settle in for one beer and accidentally stay for five. Mary behind the bar was awesome right away. Friendly greeting the second I walked in, super knowledgeable about every beer on tap, and genuinely helpful without making anything feel scripted or sales-y. Hospitality matters to me a lot, and she made the experience feel welcoming immediately. I worked my way through quite a few beers: Hop Cuddle, the collaboration with Tall Trellis, their Mexican-style lager, Weathered Wit, Pavers Porter, and the rice lager. Every single one was excellent, but that rice lager was probably my favorite. Crisp, clean, refreshing, incredible mouthfeel -- one of those beers that disappears way faster than you planned. Weathered Wit deserves a shout too. Light tartness, citrus notes, classic Belgian yeast character, ridiculously refreshing. Everything you want from a witbier on a warm day and they absolutely nailed it. (beeradvocate.com) Also, I'm genuinely excited to see breweries collaborating again. Beer feels more fun when breweries are creating together instead of existing in separate lanes, and it's cool seeing that energy still alive in Kansas City craft beer.

I did take a brisket sandwich to go and was eating it during a baseball game and I overheard a fellow spectator comment to their partner how good my sandwich smelled. Beef burnt ends are perfection! I also got some pulled pork and what I appreciated is that there weren't huge pieces of fat clinging to the meat. The portions consisted of high quality meat, and their bbq sauce is pretty simple and basic for KC sweetness. They also offer a spicy version which is what I prefer. Bar and dining area have a great vibe and I've experienced nothing but good service. Downtown Liberty is so lucky to have this gem. I will be back!!

We dropped into Beer Kitchen on Mother's Day for a brunch after learning that the Westport Cafe had…read moreits reservation book slammed for a month and was searching for an alternative. The service manager saw us eyeballing the menu on the board and answered out questions, then invited us in. My family of four was sat in a booth in the middle of the restaurant with good visibility around the entire establishment. Ambiance was good, considering that its not inherently a family place. Old tap pulls adorn the ceiling and the light is just bright enough to not strain your eyes, but not so bright that there is glare off every surface. I ordered a cowboy coffee (espresso with tequila, very interesting) and a waffle smash burger sandwich. The table got fries as an appetizer and some kind of fried donut thing that I could have sworn was a Zeppole. As always, let's start with what was good... The appetizers were very good. The dips on the fries were both amazingly good. So much so that I used them on my side of fries after the kids ate all the ones in the basket. The waffle smash burger had a good flavor considering I had never paired a waffle with beef. Prices were agreeable for Westport, but its Westport so there is a slight premium. Servers were pretty much everywhere, so it was never too long for any request we had to be taken care of. On the flip side of that, there was a server doing side work dead center of the restaurant which was kind of awkward. I am used to seeing side work done in somewhere inconspicuous so it was just a little odd, but not off putting. Now let's look at the things that could be better... The dipping sauces for the Zeppole were not thick enough to actually stick to the delicious treat. The berry sauce really needed to be reduced further because it was too thin by far. Delicious, but thin. My waffle for the smashburger sandwich was too oily by far. I think this may have been an intentional choice considering that the waffle serves as the "bun" for the sandwich and maybe the oil was an attempt to keep the juice from the burger and the sauces from turning the waffle into mush. It worked... but it did take away from the flavor by obscuring the taste of the waffle itself. My egg was cooked to specification, so that's a win, but my partner's egg was overcooked. Consistency! Very important and yet not guaranteed, I think. The biggest problem I have with the brunch at Beer Kitchen though isn't the food, but the menu itself. There is not any way to construct a decently priced "simple breakfast." If you're not that hungry, or adventurous, you may find the menu difficult to contend with. I would consider adding something like "the Oldtimer" and have it be two eggs, a meat, toast, and fruit. Price it at 13.99 and leave it alone. Overall, the Beer Kitchen is a nice little brunch spot. So much so that we intend on making it a semi-frequent stop for us on days when the kids want to venture down towards the Plaza. 4 stars. Has room for improvement but is a solid experience for what you pay.

The space is friendly with its seating and there are plenty of games to keep you engaged while you enjoy your brew. The music theme lines the decor, with cassettes (remember those?) from all genres featured. Friction always has some of their own makings on tap as well as guest taps that can range from regional to national. The board will list the ABV for each beer, as well as the pour prices, and you can choose from anything between lighter ales to heavier stouts. I prefer the darker stuff and really love their 'Train in Vain', a brown ale with fabulous body. Don't miss their fresh-hopped varietals, such as the recent 'Earth & Sky', which gives you that right-off-the-trellis hoppiness. If you're not sure what you want, then the makers will always give you friendly suggestions. They're proud of their offerings and that pride comes through in the beer. Making unique craft beer is always a labor of love and Friction really shows you how they get it done.

Stockyards Brewing is a West Bottoms staple. They've been there for at least a decade and I love…read morethe historical building they're in. They have a parking lot behind the building. 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.

They have a beautiful private room (still very historic) for events. However, good luck getting in touch with anyone to schedule your event there. There is no working phone number available, I submitted two online inquiries with no response, and no response to their email address. I gave up. I feel disappointed about this but ultimately would come back for the delicious beer.
