Brewery Description:
[NOTE: This is a brewpub now independent of the 75th Street Brewery.] Here at the 23rd Street Brewery, we pride ourselves in creating and offering ales and lagers of exceptional quality. Often in the micro brewing industry, quality is compromised for quantity. We brew handcrafted, small batch beers to ensure freshness is as crisp as it is clean.
There German Purity Law of 1516, known as Reinheitsgebot, states that beer can only be make from four ingredients: water, barley, hops, and yeast. According to this centuries old standard, most mass produced domestic/lite beers should not be worthy of the title “beer”, as they are made with such adjuncts as rice and corn. We use only the finest domestic and imported barley and hops to brew beers of tradition and beers of distinction. The brew house, we call home, is a 15 barrel Pub Brewing System located on the upper level of the impressive brewery interior. In the past year, we have doubled our production to exceed 1000 barrels (2000 Kegs) per year and have begun distributing g to other bars and restaurants throughout Kansas.
Our location at 23rd Street and Kasold was originally opened in 1996 as the Sports Page Brewery. Eight Years later, brewing veterans from the 75th Street Brewery in Kansas City opened a second location in Lawrence. By autumn of 2004, a new head brewer had been introduced, Micah Weichert, a Northwest Kansas native. Over the past seven years, Micah has brewed in numerous breweries including Pony Express/Flying Monkey and the Blind Tiger.
