Description

Westbound immigrants, pioneers and entrepreneurs alike arrived in Kansas Town with a thirst for progress and beer. Breweries both small and mighty seized opportunity in a climate of ceaseless social change and fierce regional competition. Muehlebach Brewing Company commanded the market, operating in Kansas Town for more than eighty years. In-built 1902, the long-lasting brick warehouse of Imperial Brewing still stands these days. Prohibition made times difficult for brewers and citizens within the Paris of the Plains, but political “Boss” Tom Pendergast kept the faucets running. In 1989, Boulevard Brewing kicked off the native craft beer renaissance, and a bevy of breweries soon shaped a flourishing community. Food and beer author Pete Dulin explores Kansas Town’s hop-infused history and more than sixty breweries from the frontier era to the twenty-first century.
