Drink for a Cause!

Two of our many breweries are giving back to our community THIS weekend! Friday June 23rd from 2pm - 10pm, Crane Brewing will host The Longest Day in their taproom. They will be donating a percentage of the proceeds to the Alzheimer's Association! Sunday June 25th from 1pm - 4pm, Red Crow Brewing will host a Family Funday Sunday to raise donations for Rett Syndrome. They are going to have lots of activities for your tiniest family members and you can bring your dog!  It is always wonderful to see our beer community helping great causes, like the two above.  Come out to either (or both) of these events and have a great time!!

Who are we?

You might be wondering, “Who are these people? What do they do for fun, etc." or you might not. But, let us introduce ourselves... *** My name is Alana (pronounced ‘A-lawn-a’; Thanks, Mom!). I am 32, I have two kids (8 & 6) and two cats (17 & 10). I'm just your average cat lady who likes beer and her city.  I am originally from Salina, KS. I left Salina when I was 19 and have lived in Kansas City ever since. Though I was not raised here, KC is my home. My heart is here.  My favorite styles of beer are stouts, porters, quads, triples, and sours. I'm not a huge fan of IPAs but I will try them - I want to like them so badly but it’s that bitter/piney aftertaste that I just can't handle.  I love discovering new places, things in Kansas City like little boutiques, locally owned restaurants, breweries.

Not what we've made, well, not yet at least. *wink* See, the Kansas City (craft) beer scene is growing and expanding so much we want to introduce this world to the beer drinker. There are approximately 19 breweries around Kansas City and many, many individual home brewers. Whoa! SO MUCH BEER I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START!! That's where we come in. We will be posting on our social media pages beer things around town. We want to share this experience with you, the beer drinker. Maybe you will find something that you absolutely love, maybe we will help you get out and explore more of your city, maybe it will make you
