Our Host Location

In the heart of Kansas City, where the vibrant cultural heritage of the 18th & Vine district intertwines with the passion for craft beer, a visionary project took root. The brainchild of Kemet Coleman, a musician, creative, and devoted advocate for Kansas City’s cultural identity, Vine Street Brewing Co. emerged as Missouri’s first black-owned brewery.

At Vine Street Brewing Co., they are dedicated to creating and sharing craft beers that are a reflection of the unique cultures and communities that inspire them.  Learn more here.
