For the safety and enjoyment of all our guests, we only allow a specific number of visitors for each brewery tour. Tours are booked to capacity through our online registration system, however there are occasions when an opening may occur and we can accommodate a walk-in. There are simply no guarantees we will be able to place you on a specific tour prior to arrival without a registration. You are always welcome to visit our gift shop anytime during regular hours.
I have a group of more than eight that would like to tour the brewery. What are my options?
During the week we can take reservations for up to 20 people on tours by calling the brewery up to eight weeks prior to your preferred tour date. On Saturdays, the largest group we can accommodate is eight. Give us a call at 816.474.7095 and we'll be happy to assist in finding a time that's convenient for your larger group.
Can people under the age of 21 come on the tour?
Yes, though samples are of course not made available to our underage visitors. We also ask parents of our youngest guests to keep a close eye on their little ones; the brewery utilizes industrial equipment, chemicals, glass, hoses, and other materials that can be hazardous to wandering hands and feet.
How much does it cost to take a tour?
Though we like to think of the experience as priceless, the tour is absolutely free.
What beers will you have on tap?
A wide selection of year-round core brands, along with our current seasonal offering, are always available. Occasionally we'll feature test beers or special Smokestack brews as well.
Can I buy beer at the end of the tour?
Our beers are not available for purchase at the brewery, but we are happy to direct guests to one of Kansas City's many fine retail establishments. Support your local businesses!
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Just a thirst for beer knowledge and a photo I.D. — a thirst for good beer wouldn't hurt either.
Is the tour handicap accessible?
Certain areas of the brewery are not accessible to individuals in wheelchairs or those with difficulty walking or climbing stairs, but we will gladly guide guests through the portions that are available to them.
My business or group would like to pay a visit. How can I arrange a private tour?
