10 Best Breweries in Olathe

"Known for putting the “i” back in beer, KC Bier Co. makes German-style beers in Kansas City. The Waldo brewery's outdoor beer garden gives Kansas City the opportunity to experience Bavarian culture right on the Trolley Track Trail. On Saturdays, take the public brewery tour at 1pm, then find a seat outside and enjoy a beer flight or a growler of KC Bier Co.'s popular Weizenbock, Dunkel or Hefeweizen."

"WaldoIf you’re looking for an authentic German beer garden in the heart of the Midwest, grab your friends (both human and canine are welcome) and head to KC Bier Co. in Waldo. Bonus points if you bike to and from via the Trolley Track trail. Grab a beer flight to sample, or commit to a growler of the popular Weizenbock, Dunkel or Hefeweizen.KCBier.com"

"KC Bier Co offers German-style beers and snacks with both indoor & outdoor tables. Along with 4.7 stars on Google, many reviewers have described this brewery as family-friendly with great service!"

"You won't find any wild experimentation here, just solid IPAs, sours and other brews. Recommendations include Adulting which uses Japanese rice to add spice into a lager, and the pale ale Recovery Beer which has hints of mango and is packed with electrolytes. Plus, the food items and cocktails are just as worth trying as the beer."

"Kansas City’s brewery and distillery scene is booming, with most of it centered in the Crossroads neighborhood. Of all the breweries you can visit, our favorite is Casual Animal, which has a heavy animal theme. Before you shudder at the thought of animal print wallpaper and monkey-shaped chairs, the theme here stops at the animal logos on the beer labels (like Chaos Monkey Banana Cream Pie Ale)."

"Another Kansas City Brewery that has set out to good while they make beer is Casual Animal Brewing Company. The Local Motive initiative has been a part of the company since its inception and everyone involved with the taproom gets a say in what charities receive support. $2 from each pint sold from the Local Motive “give back tap” goes to a designated local non-profit."

"Bring the kiddos and pack some snacks for a fun time at Casual Animal!. Aside from a few bar snacks, this brewery doesn’t have a full-service kitchen. Guests are welcome to bring their own food or order delivery."

"Fringe Beerworks ended the local brew drought in Lee’s Summit in 2016. Founders Mark Myers and Eddie Pease had been brewing on their own time for 25 years before opening their joint to the public. Their handcrafted beers are made in small batches to ensure freshness and their offerings rotate frequently so you’ll never get bored."

"With a low-key, intimate setting, Fringe is the first brewery in Lee's Summit. The building has been around since 1926 and much of the original design remains. Similarly, the folks behind Fringe are keen to add a bit of old-school charm to their projects."

"Whether you want Strange Days Brewing Company to be a stop pre- or post-exploration of downtown, hop on the streetcar and head to the Rivermarket District on the south bank of the Missouri River. Prepare for things to get a little weird in the best way. Try their more nontraditional offerings, like the Chai Time Porter, with a chai spice base or the Georgia On My Mind, brewed with peaches, sea salt, and coriander."

"Along with an awesome selection of beer, there is a very small menu of bar snacks. However, Strange Days allows patrons to bring in their own food or even get it delivered to their brewery."

"This pub-and-pizza-place combo is where you can grab a Chicago-style beef sandwich or the signature Blood Mary burger and also sample your way through an entire beer lineup. Frequent visitors should also consider the beer membership program which comes with the ability to reserve your own kegs."

"Newest location adding the best of the Martin City Pub and Tap Room experience, serving a variety of beer, tasty pub fare and pizza in Mission Farms. Leawood/Overland Park/Prairie Village. 4000 Indian Creek Parkway, Overland Park, KS 66206"

"Next up is Martin City's Martin City Pizza & Tap Room, situated at 410 E. 135th St. With 4.5 stars out of 122 reviews on Yelp, the brewery has proven to be a local favorite."

"Open weekends only and located a few miles south of downtown in the historic Brookside neighborhood known for its quaint shops and restaurants, BKS Artisan Ales is the perfect place for those looking for a more low-key atmosphere. Bring your own snacks or sample some from local bread and cheesemakers. For something more substantial, the nearby Flying Horse Taproom is on call to deliver flatbreads to the tasting room."

"BKS Artisan Ales mixes traditional and experimental styles to produce barrel-aged, sour, hop-forward, and farmhouse ales with a number of limited release beers, which mean the bartenders can only serve a limited amount, so savor each sip. Don't leave without trying the Double Holstein, a Caribean take on the style—with chocolate, coffee, and coconut flavors—that you won't soon forget."

"If you know me (or have even met me – Unbakery should probably be included in my elevator pitch), you know I spend most of my hours at Robin Krause’s creation of Unbakery and Juicery. Filled with natural Vitamin D, friendly faces, and some of the cleanest eats in town, this little spot is my go-to for lunch on the go. Caffeinate with a Matcha Latte with coconut milk and collagen for sustained energy, enjoy a raw, vegan, and paleo-friendly Pad Thai, and grab a spiced Aztec-Chocolate Bliss Ball on your way out – your 3pm back-at-work-self will thank you."

"Be Well with menu offerings that are read, rad and raw for a tasty yet mindful dining experience. Country Club Plaza/Brookside/Waldo. 634 E 63rd St, Kansas City, MO 64110"

"There aren’t many museums in the United States that show what baseball was like when it was segregated. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum does a good job at showing a timeline and sharing important facts to help people understand what things were like in the 1800’s. A lot of people don’t know that years ago, during segregation, black people were not being accepted into the minor and major baseball leagues so they had to form their own teams."
