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 will be back and I will be trying the tenderloin!

Parking isn't a hassle, they always have plenty of spots. The inside is good sized. I've never been there when there's been a lot of people so I've always had plenty of room. The taproom is always clean and the service friendly. They don't have food but there are several food options nearby. Next door is a whiskey and pizza place that I've seen people get food from and bring to the taproom. They also have a good sized patio out from with picnic benches. The development that they are located in has yard games like bags and mini golf so there's plenty of space to run and play if you're bringing any children along. They have a good selection of beers and usually here's a style for everyone's tastes. During my most recent visit I tried the Gusto milk stout, a cherry limeade Berliner Weiss, and a Barrel Aged Baltic Porter. All were great and true to their style. You can also take home cans. My dad enjoys their beers so I'll often stop in and get some to go before I visit. And they still do growler fills which is pretty rare. Definitely check them out!

Fruited wheats are my favorite type of beers and it seems like they are a dying breed. The service was prompt and friendly, there are two bars that you can order from. I love that the water was self serve and it was ice cold. A group of us took up the outside deck which was very nice, though a little chilly from the breeze. Inside there is a large projector to watch sports games, and another smaller room where they were having a bingo event. It's a great place with a variety of areas to sit and hang out.

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.

A variety of beers are available on tap. They usually include a few year-round options and a couple of seasonal options. Canned beer - some that isn't available on tap - is available to go. Food isn't cooked on site, however food trucks are parked outside during busier events. You might check with the brewery if you want to bring snacks.

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.

I enjoyed the musician despite the large crowd and the challenge of hearing him over the many conversations. Eventually, the crowd thinned out, and I was able to better enjoy the music. Overall, it's a nice brewery.

The best beer is your favorite beer and you should be able to find something that hits the spot. Food is available, however the kitchen backs up when it gets busy. Please keep that in mind if you're coming hungry. Entertainment ranging from trivia contests to comedy to cover bands will perform on a small stage inside at times. An events schedule is posted on the brewery's website if you want to see who's playing.

All good things…read more.. We were invited to an impromptu event to taste the new additions to for the Menu when they reopen. They also were 'blowing the taps' which meant we get to try many of the beers that they were saying good-bye to. So, a little story. I was one of the first to wander into a place called Brew Lab years ago. I actually found the place because of looking for brewing supplies. There were a good amount of tools here but also these folks were serving their beer! So, what a great idea. I bought some grain... and had a few beers! I visited this place a few more times on the regular. Suddenly one day there was appetizers. And had the most divine pretzel bites that have ever existed. Next time was an amazing club sandwiches. And some pulled pork. All of the food has always been great bar food. And then there was the beer. So many delicious beers each time. Too many to try at once. But, that is all memory lane... Now... here is the news! Brew Lab is changing. The ownership remains the same however they have given up the brewing. They will have a few of their specialty beers that they keep on tap but they will have a lot more taps of beer from other breweries. On this visit they brought out a large amount of samples of the food that they will be adding/altering in the menu going forward. There were a lot of really delicious items and I am excited for when they have the full menu and I can order some of them. Most notably I am excited for the Catfish Po'boy sandwich. We will be back soon to try the all new... Tall Boys. Look for that review coming soonish!

We had to try the newly Tallboyz Garage as we were curious of the new menu & atmosphere changes (a…read moreFriday night). We seated ourselves near the open garage door/patio. We ordered the Jamaican Mule & Patron Margarita. Both of our drinks tasted mixer heavy. Our server & another one we flagged down had no knowledge of the food menu items; they couldn't describe menu items, how they tasted or give recommendations . This shouldn't be the case for this change over, we blame the management for the lack of education. The highlight of our experience was the Pickle Bombs: fried chopped dill pickles & cream cheese. His Hot Chick sandwich had avery thin chicken patty, it had a good taste but needs more ranch. My Pocket Philly was extremely messy & very salty with the espinaca sauce. Prefer the former Philly in a pita. My side of tater tots were a little undercooked. Upon reviewing our bill, we were charged 50 cents for ranch. The side salad (premium side) already had a $2 up charge but we were charged 50 cents for ranch dressing? It seems excessive & needs to be communicated via menu or server. Overall, disappointed in the changes made. We felt like shortcuts have been made with the change & overall quality not as good.
