Kansas City Hometown Beer Tour

October 25, 2006 By Jay Brooks

I got an e-mail from Jim Quinn, “The Beer Jockey” of Kansas City, who’s hosting what sounds like a fun and educational tour of Kansas City brewing history as well as local breweries still operating. The limousine tour runs three hours, from Noon to 3:00 p.m., and three tour dates are scheduled: October 28, November 11, and November 25. The tour will begin and end at Boulevard Brewing. The standard cost is $35, which includes “chauffeured transportation, guided tour, on-board beverages, beer samples and handouts.” For $65, your tour also included an “autographed copy of Bob Sullivan’s book, ‘Hometown Beer: History of Kansas City’s Breweries‘”

Here’s an overview of the tour:

  • Tour and taste at KC’s own, nationally-renowned and newly expanded Boulevard Brewing.
  • Hear about the “Beer Castle” on Main Street.
  • See the remains of a family brewery that survived floods and fires yet fell to Prohibition.
  • Learn how many out-of-town breweries were able to enter the local market in the 1870s.
  • Celebrate local brew and sample handcrafted ale at McCoy’s Public House in Westport.

 

 
Fine print: Preregistration and payment is required. DEADLINE for registration is the Thursday prior to the tour. A minimum of 12 passengers is required to run the tour. Maximum is 20 passengers. Private chartered tours are also available.
