KC Beer Fest

One of the bigger beer fests in Kansas City is today.  The KC Beer Fest has been the most recognizable craft beer fests in the Midwest for over 6 years.  With Boulevardia around, it’ll be interesting to see if they can still hold that title.

VIP admittance begins at 1:30pm, but it’d be smart to pre-register for quicker entry.  VIP tickets have been sold out for a while, but they added 200 General Admission tickets yesterday.  200 hand picked craft beers from around the world will be served from breweries like Crooked Stave, Santa Fe Brewing, Goose Island, Southern Tier, Brewery Ommegang, and more.  There will be live music, giveaways, gourmet food booths, and rare keg tappings.

Bell’s Brewery will be tapping an Imperial Red Ale at 3:30pm, Stone Brewing will be tapping a Barrel Aged Cali Belgique at 4pm, and Firestone Walker will be tapping Stickee Monkee (a Central Coast Quad) at 4:30pm, just to name a few of the rare keg tappings.

SocialHeart, a 100% volunteer managed, hometown, non-profit organization that supports local charities with event planning, fundraising, sponsorship and marketing, is the beneficiary this year.
