Tap List | KC Bier Co.’s Top-Rated Festbier Is Back

Well that was fast. Fall is already on the horizon, and that means those delicious seasonal beers will start to flow from Kansas City taps soon, and KC Bier Co.’s brew may be the first. The Vienna-style Lager, Festbier, recently earned a World Class 96 rating and was listed #10 in the Top Beers of 2018 by The Beer Connoisseur magazine.

Attend KC Bier Co’s Festbier release day at the Bierhalle from 2 to 10 p.m. on July 30 to enjoy this beer’s biscuity, honey malt, and caramel flavors. There will be plenty of bratwursts and pretzels to pair alongside with your Festbier.
