The Free State Brewing Company
636 Massachusetts, Lawrence KS 66044 “Because without beer, things do not seem to go as well.”
In 1989, Free State Brewing Company became the first legal brewery in Kansas in over 100 years. Since opening the doors at our Mass Street HQ, we’ve been working day in and day out to be a haven for beer lovers, where good beer and good food can inspire lively conversations and memorable experiences. Our 14-barrel brewhouse is made up of some of the best equipment available to the small brewer, but we still think the most important ingredients are the care and respect that our enthusiastic, knowledgeable staff has for each and every beer that we make. And now that we’re producing bottled beers in our expanded bottling facility, our attention to detail and dedication to great taste and quality can be experienced by people all over Kansas and Missouri.

Four days of scheduled maintenance and equipment installation are behind us and we’re ready for the end of the year push!

Let’s raise a glass to all of our employees that worked during this shutdown period — it’s the behind the scenes work that isn’t glamorous but is vital to our operation 🍻

Two Track ESB just brought home Silver at the Great American B**r Festival! 🥈

It stood out in a field of 132 entries in Craft Malt, a first-time GABF category for b**rs that let the grain shine. Cheers to Geoff, Tommy, and the whole brew crew, and to Two Track Malt in North Dakota for giving them something great to work with —on tap now!
