We Want Your Opinion.
We know you have one. So let’s hear it. It’s time again to give your nominations for the best of craft beer in Kansas City: the Golden Tappys!
We are looking for your nominations in six categories for 2017. We will continue the same six categories as last year:
- Best Local Beer
- Best Beer Bar
- Best Bottle Shop
- Best Festival
- Best Small Brewery
- Best Outstate Brewery*
*Outstate refers to breweries outside the Kansas City metro, but within Kansas or Missouri. For our purposes, KC metro is a nebulous area surrounding the city. We’ll say Lawrence is in. Topeka, Columbia and Springfield are not.
Let’s begin!
Today marks the opening of nominations for Best Local Beer. You have one week to make your nominations.
Best Local Beer
There are some amazing beers produced in this city, and new ones every day. Old favorite from an established brewery or brand new beer from one of the young taprooms? Which is your choice for best local beer?
Please comment below for your nomination for best beer produced in Kansas City.
Nominate away!
