NKC Nano-Brewery
The other day I spoke with someone who is planning on opening a new nano brewery in NKC. I believe they have a space somewhere on Swift and are currently ordering equipment and constructing a taproom. The opening date is sometime in December.
Good news for the KC beer scene. I've been hoping some small breweries would start popping up around town.

Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
I really need a place to fill my growlers. It is one of the only amenities this town lacks.
Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
I should have said I really need a good place to fill my growlers. I don't mind either 75th or McCoy's beer, but it isn't worth filling a growler. I need some Flat Branch quality or better, please.pash wrote:75th Street Brewery fills growlers. They even have a buy-X-get-one-free program. Pretty sure McCoy's does them too.
And it's not quite the same thing, but Missouri passed a law this summer that allows any bar that sells 20+ beers to sell you beer to go in containers of 32 oz. or bigger. So if you get really thirsty, pop in somewhere and see if they'll fill some growlers for you. ...
Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
Ha! That was my thought on 75th and McCoys, I was going to mention them but didn't for this reason. I've either become more picky over the last decade or their quality has declined. Has any one asked at Flying Saucer with the above quoted bill printed out in hand?smh wrote:I should have said I really need a good place to fill my growlers.

Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
No, but perhaps I should. I live right down the street. I'm just itching for a good micro(nano)-brewery that makes beer so delicious that I don't need to buy six-packs anymore. A place where I know that, if I need beer for home consumption, I go to this brewery and get a fill before the weekend starts. It would be outstanding if this NKC place could fit the bill.droopy wrote: Has any one asked at Flying Saucer with the above quoted bill printed out in hand?

I asked them on FB with a link to a local news article and they never replied to me. Bastards.smh wrote:No, but perhaps I should. I live right down the street.

Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
I think this might be the place heading into NKC. I wonder how likely it is this is actually going to happen. So many "breweries" have websites or FB pages and then simply disappear.

Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
I agree, that looks to be the place. This is an important page on the website (dated 10/16/12) http://bigripbrewing.com/2012/10/ttb-li ... rew-check/smh wrote:I think this might be the place heading into NKC.

This is a topic I'm familiar with...breweries are often "started" by dreamers with a beer passion that don't have the resources or know-how to navigate the licensing process. Anytime I see or hear about a "new brewery" and the talk is about recipes and offerings but they haven't started the legal process yet I lose interest in the conversation. (where's Wilderness Brewing these days?) It seems this group is aware of the necessary steps and hitting it hard so I am hopeful for these guys. I'll be a supporter if they pull it off
Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
Totally agree. Although I did hear recently that Wilderness is close to leasing a space in Lee's Summit (making it unlikely I'll visit very often). I hope Wilderness gets off the ground b/c I gave money to their Kickstarter. But more so, I hope this Big Rip gets off the ground because it will be closer to my hood.droopy wrote:I agree, that looks to be the place.

Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
Here is where Big Rip is going--adjoining KC Smokeshack BBQ (according to the Big Rip website): http://goo.gl/maps/oUSzo
That's right off Highway 9 and you know what that means: I CAN RIDE MY BIKE AND DRINK BEER AND THEN RIDE MY BIKE.
I'm pumped.

While Kansas City SmokeShack has about two-thirds of the building at the southern end of Swift Avenue, the remaining space is going to two self-described beer nerds and friends.
Josh Collins and Kipp Feldt are setting up The Big Rip Brewing Co. They plan to open a production facility and tap room there in May.
The Big Rip Brewing Co., at 216 E. Ninth Ave., will have two signature beers - The Great Conjunction (a cherry Hefeweizen) and Hathor’s (a sweet brown ale). Other selections will include include Irish Red Ale, Milk Stout, Banana Cream Ale, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie ale, and Black Lager. It also plans to serve wine, some spirits and a gluten-free raspberry beer made from sorghum.
It will not serve food but will let customers bring in something to eat, including barbecue from neighboring SmokeShack.

Sounds like a lot of fruit flavored and sweet tasting beer.TheBigChuckbowski wrote:http://www.kansascity.com/2013/04/04/41 ... beque.html

Re: NKC Nano-Brewery
I tried their beers a few weeks ago. The sweet brown was not particularly sweet IMO, more of a legit standard brown. The cherry hefe was solid. I also had the opportunity to try a porter that was showing promise and an APA that was quite good. Looking forward to them opening soon because I really miss getting my growlers filled.

Agree SMH. All five samples were pretty solid.
I have never been very pleased with the fruit enhanced beers I have sampled and I was very skeptical about the Cherry Hefe.
I have to report that it was my favorite of the group, and I have a simmering obsession with enjoying it again.
