Tap List | What’s Brewing at Double Shift? It’s in the Can

Something is brewing at Double Shift Brewing Co. The brewery’s delicious creations are now available in cans throughout the metropolitan area as it expands beyond keg distribution.

“Canning has been a real learning experience, but it is very humbling to see the excitement in the taproom and in the marketplace for the Double Shift brand. It makes it worth the effort.” said Jon Conway, head brewer and graphic designer at Double Shift, 412 E. 18th St. in Kansas City.

Tessellation (6.7% ABV), a single-hopped mosaic IPA, and Ordiata (6.5% ABV), the brewery’s horchata-inspired milk stout, now may be found in liquor stores like Gomer’s, Mike’s Wine and Spirits, and Brookside Wine and Spirits.

More Double Shift brews are slated for release in cans this year.

Casual Animal Brewing Co. — 1725 McGee St., Kansas City, Missouri — dropped two beers recently. Memory Fade Hazy IPA (6% ABV), a hazy IPA with tropical notes, and Blueberry Vanilla Stout (5.2% ABV), a chocolatey smooth stout, are both available in Casual Animal’s taproom.

Torn Label Brewing Co. — 1708 Campbell St., Kansas City, Missouri — recently released a barleywine called Borrowing Trouble, which clocks in at a whopping 11% ABV.

Prime Numbers (6.7% ABV) is the newest creation at Pathlight Brewing —11200 W. 75th St., Shawnee, Kansas. After doing the math, we’ve concluded that this hazy IPA is bursting with fruity, citrusy and hoppy flavors. Don’t think too hard, though. Grab a pint ASAP!
