Crane Brewing to Present at Missouri Mashers Meeting

The next Missouri Mashers meeting will be a dream come true for Sour fanatics.  Michael Crane and Crane Brewing Company will be presenting on their approach to Sour and Brett beers at the meeting to be held at Grain to Glass on Thursday, March 26, at 7pm.

If you are a said fanatic of Sours, you may already know of Crane Brewing Company.  They are not open yet, however they have been planning for several years and are now in the process of renovating a building in Raytown to open this Summer or Fall.  Their beers have wowed people at several events, including High Plains Brewhoff, The Pitch’s Crafts & Drafts, and Parkville Microbrew Fest.  You can tell they’ve been working hard to get the brewery ready by the lack of social media updates and absence at events lately.

Michael Crane has a lot of experience in business.  He’s dabbled in photography, carpentry, furniture making, and now brewing.  In the building that used to house his furniture making business, Crane plans to build a brewery, tap room, and install a bottling line.  He definitely has the right idea starting off big – people love his beers as proven by his 80 medals awarded in competitions all over the country.  A few of his great beers should be making an appearance at the meeting, so if you haven’t tried them, this is a great opportunity.

Missouri Mashers is a Northland homebrew club that meets once a month and hosts/participates in several events throughout the year.  Meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month at Grain to Glass in North Kansas City and are open to the public.  Attendees are encouraged to bring and share beers that fit the theme of each meeting.
