BKS Artisan Ales

Kansas City might just be one of the most underrated brewery towns in the United States and BKS is one of those reasons why!If you're a touron like myself: this place is far from downtown, but well worth a Lyft from your hotel!This place has the unique ability to brew clear, crisp lagers just as well as they brew cloudy, pillowy IPAs. Either way you can't go wrong. The beers here are creatively designed and technically perfect.The outside patio area is also pretty nice.

Hands down, one of the best breweries I have been to, and their Hazy IPAs are some of the best I have ever tasted! Soft, pillowy, juicy....just amazing. Also don't sleep on their Pivo series, some amazing pils and lagers. The taproom is very unassuming at first, but is cozy and comfortable and has a nice outdoor space attached. Staff was so friendly! This will be a must stop anytime I am in KC!

I've finally been able to check out this brewery after living near it for 3 years! I happened to drive by while they were having their block party and decided this was the time to try it. We tried 4 of their beers in the smaller sizes and it was under $30 even after tip so that was a huge plus. All of the beers we tried were so good! Our two favs were the Rockhill and Locust and their golden lager they had on tap that day. Definitely have to come back.

Somebody once said this was the best brewpub in the world. A bold claim, one I had to investigate for myself. My friend and I found one table available on a busy Friday evening. My first observation was pint glasses filled with the most appealing creamy golden potion, the Space Nelson IPA, which I ordered and found to be intoxicating in more ways than one. I also had a Pilsner which was so delicious it had me raising a toast to the Czech resistance. The smallish tasting room was brightly lit with a variety of seating options and full of interesting people. And dogs, especially a Cavalier King Charles mix that melted my heart with expressive eyes and the sweetest disposition. The servers were all super friendly and enthusiastic, a fine compliment to the magic elixir they served up. So, 5 stars all the way around. Anybody who wants to say this is the world's best brewpub will get no argument from me.

My fave brewery in kc.They just won a gabf for their English mild which I had for the first time and it was amazing. They usually have several good iPas on tap along with a pils or lager and a stout as well. Can't go wrong with any of their beers and the staff is great also.

One of the best breweries in KC! They have lots of hop heavy and delicious beer. Their stouts are also amazing and are some of my favorites. If they have mead, make sure to try that too. Basically, you can't go wrong with anything you order. You can also get beer to go from their expansive cooler. They don't have food but they do sell snacks. And you can bring outside food in. Occasionally they'll have a food truck or a pop up so check out the socials to see what's up before you go if you need to eat.They have a large ish patio with lots of seats in sun or shade. The interior also has quite a bit of seating despite the smaller space.

Best find of 2023 for me. BKS is the stuff of LEGENDS! Hands down the best brewery in KC, and dare I say world? They single-handedly brought me back to beer and I now don't allow any other beer impurities to enter my body. I want the world to know, I love BKS!

I am surprised I have yet to add pictures or a review for BKS! This brewery is one of the most popular and best among KC. I have been to almost every brewery in town and BKS is one of the most popular among anyone that you ask that knows their beer. They make killer IPAs and when they have their limited stouts, it's a real treat. The staff has always been courteous countless of times that I have been there. They never rush you and will even let you sample something if you are unsure whether you will like something. The environment is a little tight when it's busy, but it's quaint and cozy. Also on nice days, you'll find their patio packed which I partake in during the spring and summer. The best thing to do is also follow them on social media for new releases since they are always rotating things in and out. It's a great place in a central location so check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!

Killer IPAs - by FAR the finest in KC metro!!!Service bar was efficient, staff was knowledgeable and helped with selections. Great dog friendly outside space too!!

Great little craft brewery with some really flavorful selections. Would be great if they had some snacks or apps to nibble on but still a great stop. Good service and casual atmosphere.
