Top Kansas City Breweries to Visit This Summer
Apart from offering delicious craft brews, visiting a variety of Kansas City breweries is a really fun and unique way to explore the city.
Local and craft breweries have turned Kansas City into one of the fastest-growing beer destinations in the country! Here are our favorite Kansas City breweries to visit during your next getaway.
- One of the largest craft breweries in the Midwest and the crown jewel of Kansas City breweries is Boulevard Brewing Company. This facility plays a big part in the city’s identity, and locals here are proud of their well-crafted brews. Sip on a flight here, or go behind the scenes and tour their bottling lines and event spaces. This is our top recommendation for Kansas City breweries to visit.
- Alma Mader Brewing is one of the most popular Kansas City Breweries, thanks to its dedication to specific flavor profiles. It’s a great way to sample the nuanced differences between an Italian and Czech-style pilsner, among other exciting flavors.
- Head to City Barrel Brewing for a solid grouping of IPAs, Sours, and other brews. They also have some pretty great cocktails!
- Fans of Germany-style beers won’t want to miss KC Bier Co. The malt and hops used at this brewery are imported directly from Germany, and the resulting brews just so happen to pair perfectly with their German food menu.
- For bold flavors and plenty of European heritage in brewing methodology, head to Crane Brewing. It’s one of our favorite Kansas City Breweries if you want to try new things, and they have an in-house lab that pushes the limits of the modern-day craft beer scene.
- The craft brew creativity continues at Torn Label. Though we admire their creativity, you can also get something a bit more traditional (and just as delicious) here, too.
- Beer traditionalists love Brewery Emperial, which offers a broad range of American and European beers, including bitters and saisons.
- When it comes time to visit well-established Kansas City Breweries, don’t miss Green Room Burgers & Beer. It’s the oldest brewery in town and serves up a classic KC beer experience.

Not only do you get to visit some of the top Kansas City breweries, but you’ll have a designated driver to guide you from one location to the next safely, and you’ll learn all about the craft Kansas City brewery business.
