BKS Artisan Ales

BKS Artisan Ales opened in 2017 as the first craft brewery in Kansas City’s Brookside neighborhood. Containing the well-known abbreviation for the neighborhood, BKS, the brewery is located at 633 E. 63rd Street, on the corner of 63rd Street and Holmes Street. The location houses a production facility and tasting room that aims to provide quality and unique beers.
The brewery is operated by the owners, Brian and Mary Rooney, who are residents of the Brookside neighborhood. Brian was an award-winning home brewer for 7 years. In 2015, with the assistance of Councilman Scott Taylor, Brian and Mary helped pass a city ordinance that allows small, neighborhood breweries to operate in Kansas City, MO business districts instead of industrial zoned districts.
BKS Artisan Ales draws on traditional and experimental styles to produce barrel aged, sour, hop-forward, and farmhouse ales. Brian and Mary handle all brewing, cellaring and packaging of the beers served in tasting room. The tasting room hours of operation are Saturday 12 to 7pm and Sunday 1 to 5pm. In addition to draft pours at the tasting room, canned and bottled beers are available, to-go, from the tasting room on a frequent basis.
