KC Brewer Bottles Bragging Rights
-
Description
-
Because of the pending buy-out of Anheuser-Busch brewery by Belgium-based In-Bev, Kansas City's Boulevard Brewing Co. will soon become the largest Missouri-based brewery. Boulevard Brewery was started in 1989 by founder and president John McDonald. Their beer is now available in 13 states. "Today, Boulevard is the eighth-largest domestic craft brewer in the United States, according to the Brewers Association...." Anheuser-Busch still produces more beer, brewing 160 million barrels of beer annually compared with 142,000 barrels Boulevards expects to produce at its facility at 25th Street and Southwest Boulevard. They recently developed a new specialty beer line called the Smokestack Series. Their top source of sales is Kauffman Stadium.

Old-Is-New Brew Awakens KC's Tastebuds and Heritage
-
Description
-
Column laments the loss of a once popular beer in this country. It includes information concerning the Schlitz brand and its relationship to Kansas City. Schlitz was once the king of beers, and its "dominance began in 1956 with the purchase of the hometown Muehlebach brewery. Schlitz sponsored Kansas City A's radio broadcasts. Atop the scoreboard at Municipal Stadium, there was a Schlitz billboard, even when the Royals played there." In 1973 this brand was the local top seller. But the company tinkered with their recipe and sales declined. Just before this happened, Schiltz closed their brewery located at 316 Oak Street in Kansas City.
