Re: beer.
Depends on what you consider "beer" but yeah, pretty much. The radler is slightly weaker, at 4.0% to wheat's 4.4%. I wouldn't consider that significant, but I've no horse in this race. I haven't tried it and don't understand why it exists.

Re: beer.
FYI - Thou Mayest now has a couple Torn Label brews on tap, though I haven't yet tried them.
The Biz Journal claims Border Brewing is opening across the street on Feb. 21. Double Shift to follow next door.
2015 should be exciting times for the East Crossroads, and microbrews in KC. Still waiting for Cinder Block to start canning...

Re: beer.
I would settle for some Cinder Block distribution if nothing else. I love the place, but it is hard for me to drink much beer north of the river. EDIT: Mostly because I'm a poor swimmer.rxlexi wrote:FYI - Thou Mayest now has a couple Torn Label brews on tap, though I haven't yet tried them.

Super easy bike ride to the loop along MO-9 bridge. Even easier to City Market.I would settle for some Cinder Block distribution if nothing else. I love the place, but it is hard for me to drink much beer north of the river. EDIT: Mostly because I'm a poor swimmer.

Re: beer.
I suppose if I'm being double-whiny what I'm really trying to get at is I want them to be on tap at Milwaukee Deli so I can get my pizza and beer together. Guess I could just get a growler and take-out. Or take my Deli to Cinder Block.rxlexi wrote:Super easy bike ride to the loop along MO-9 bridge.

Re: beer.
Ok, how about this one, it's local and there are no comments from teenagers.

Re: beer.
I'm surprised a list like that isn't a sticky on craftbeerkc.com, to be honest.

Re: beer.
I need a new go-to beer!
I do most of my drinking at Zoo Bar, but after several years I'm starting to get bored with my standard go-to selections. I'm going to ask them to stock something new for me, but I'd prefer it to be local/regional. Difficulty: No kegs -- has to be bottled (or canned).
So, to get my creativity going, what are some local/regional breweries -- say, within a 100 mile radius (but preferably KC metro) -- that offer their beer in bottles (or cans)? APART from the obvious answer of Bouelvard!
Go!

Re: beer.
Tallgrass and Defiance have some great options. I love Velvet Rooster by Tallgrass, but Manhattan is 110 miles away. Defiance Thrasher would be a good one to have as a go-to since it is a session IPA, but it is 266 miles away (Hays, KS). I've never really liked Flying Monkey's stuff. If you want to match those parameters, you're down to Free State and Weston Brewing Co. I seem to enjoy Weston's stuff more when I am at Irish Fest in the pub. Free State is fine, but they don't seem to be pushing the envelope beyond where they were 15 years ago.
I haven't tried all of the new guys on the scene, but Cinder Block is my favorite brewery in the metro I have tried outside of Boulevard (but won't meet your bottle/can requirement). I feel like KC Bier Co. does a quality job of Euro style beer, but it isn't particularly exciting (or in a bottle/can?). I really want to like all the locals, but Border Brewery tasted like it was made with tainted water.

Re: beer.
Tried the Torn Label tap room this evening. Small interior space, maybe 25 seats. They have a deck which will be nice once the weather breaks, as it's west facing. Good beers, about 6 choices, tried the Lumber Lung and Monk and Honey. Once Howard's opens I can see grabbing a burger and heading here for beverages.
