(Courtesy | Red Sash Brewing)This past weekend marked the long-awaited opening of Red Sash Brewing Co. in Kansas City. Located at 406 E. 18th St. in the Crossroads, Red Sash took over the old Border Brewing space after Border decided to relocate to a bigger location just down the street.
Owner Pat Mitchell is a U.S. Army veteran who decided to turn his passion for brewing craft beer into his profession. He aims to make Red Sash a home away from home from his customers and create a community inclusive to both new craft drinkers and long-time beer aficionados.
For their grand opening, Red Sash opened with a lineup of five beers. Currently on tap are Death Blossom Juicy IPA (6.7% ABV), Crayon Eater California Common (5.1% ABV), Hammer 7 IPA (6% ABV), Daywalker Pilsner (4.3% ABV) and Horns Upfront Pale Ale (5.1% ABV).
After all of the excitement of their grand opening weekend, they’ll be closed July 19 and 20. But don’t fret if you weren’t able to make it this weekend. Red Sash will be back in action regularly starting Wednesday, July 21.
Welcome to KC, Red Sash! We hope your delicious beers are around for a long, long time!
