MAY!!

WOW! This year is flying by!

So there are a few cool things happening this month that deserve their own blog post.

This week, Wednesday May 1 Big Rip releases Lost in Santa Carla. A saison scale up by Dyon Harper, a member of the KC Bier Meisters who has been home brewing since 2016.

Dyon's first home brew was a malted milk stout and from there, he hasn't stopped! Dyon entered Big Rip's scale up competition last year, October 2018, and shortly after he was notified that he won. On March 26th this year Dyon, Bri, and a few others joined up to brew this delicious saison!

If you didn't get a chance to try it at Parkville MicroBrew Fest this past weekend, definitely try it starting this Wednesday! You will really enjoy it! It was the first keg to blow on Saturday, by the way ;)

Dyon will also be there, so be sure to soak up all the knowledge he has to offer :)

Happy Women's History Month

Hello March! We're now into the third month of the year and during this month we celebrate Women's History! Women have been the backbone to our brewing industry. Women started brewing, they were in charge of the beer. I want to highlight specific breweries* where the beer is brewed by women and/or women owned/ran! Consider visiting these businesses, this month and of course other months during the year! You won't be disappointed!

Parlor KC

Image
Last Saturday I had the amazing opportunity to try out Parlor. A new restaurant concept opening THIS FRIDAY in the Crossroads - 17th and Locust, behind Double Shift ;) It was quite the experience! Seven different restaurants to choose from, two full service bars (one upstairs and one downstairs), several areas to relax, an awesome patio upstairs, and beautiful murals throughout. I had a great time, to say the least. The food. WOW! Incredible. There is something for everyone's tastes there, even my kids' who can be pretty picky. Let's start with the downstairs. When you walk in you are greeted with lovely hosts but also great sitting spaces to just hang out, relax, enjoy. To the right is the living room area. There's a fantastic fireplace with great seating. To the left is more of a lounge/den type area, more seating but also fun pictures of local Kansas Citian's plus books, maps, shirts, and hats. If you walk down the hall from the den area you'll go pa...
