π Short History:
BKS Artisan Ales is a small craft brewery located in Kansas City, Missouri. It was founded by Brian and Mary Rooney in 2017. The Rooneys, who were homebrewers for about a decade, decided to turn their passion for brewing into a business. They named the brewery BKS, which stands for Brookside, the Kansas City neighborhood where the brewery is located.
The brewery is situated in a historic building that was originally a trolley barn in the early 20th century. The Rooneys renovated the space, maintaining its historic charm while adding modern brewing equipment.
BKS Artisan Ales focuses on small batch brewing, producing a variety of beer styles with an emphasis on hop-forward beers, saisons, and barrel-aged beers. The brewery has gained a reputation for its quality and creativity, and it has become a popular destination for craft beer enthusiasts in the Kansas City area.
The Rooneys continue to operate the brewery with a focus on community, quality, and innovation. They have also made efforts to support local charities and causes, further establishing BKS Artisan Ales as a valued part of the Brookside and Kansas City communities.
