Thank you all for your interest in and support of Shift East Brew Fest. As you may have guessed by now, the event will not be able to take place on May 16, 2020 as planned, as a precaution related to the coronavirus. We discussed the possibility of postponing to later in the year, but given all of the other events in summer and fall, and continued uncertainty, we decided it's best to cancel this year's event and begin planning for 2021. We appreciate your willingness to participate in what we hoped to be an amazing event for our community.

If you have already purchased tickets you should have received an email with this information. If you have not seen it, please take a minute to read it as action is required to request a refund.

Even though Shift East won't be held as planned, we can still do some good for our community. We plan to donate all non-refunded ticket sale proceeds and sponsorship funds to Community Services League (CSL) in Blue Springs. CSL is an incredible organization that serves hundreds of families in our city each year by providing basic needs such as food, toiletries, housing, counseling, and employment services.

If you would like to offer your purchase as a contribution to CSL, no action is needed. Your support is incredibly appreciated!

If you would prefer a full refund, please contact Brown Paper Tickets before May 1 by emailing [email protected]. Be sure to include your confirmation number.

The Shift East Brew Fest team is committed to hosting a great event and serving our city in Spring 2021. Be on the lookout for a new date. We hope to see you soon! Until then, take care of each other, and check on your neighbor!

**SHIFT EAST BREW FEST BREWERY SPOTLIGHT**

We are thrilled that some of the breweries serving at Shift East Brew Fest 2020 are crossing the border from Kansas, including one of our favorites ~ Transport Brewery!

With deep roots in Johnson County, Transport Brewery owners set out to open up a brewery close to home. As members of Johnson County Brewing Society and BJCP Certified Judges, they met years ago and started brewing together and aspiring one day have their beers shared by a community that they love. They opened in Shawnee in February 2019. They enjoy brewing locally in a historic structure, so the community will have a place to gather over eclectic, flavorful beers.

Another great brewery is joining us this year on Saturday, May 16, 2020 for Shift East Brew Fest 2020! We can't wait to see what they have in store for you!

The team at Cinder Block Brewery all come from different places to make great things happen with beer. Bryce Schaffter grew up in Iowa working on tractors, studied agricultural science and earned his business degree. From welding his first brew stand, he’s come a long way and built an amazing team at Cinder Block that includes Bryan “Bucky” Buckingham, the head brewer and John Baikie, head “keg whisperer”. These guys know that perfection doesn’t come easy, but meticulously work through their process to ensure the highest quality brew makes it to your glass. They say it isn’t easy, but holy cow is it worth it!

Diametric Brewing Co is comprised of three brewers who came together to pursue the brewery dream and a long time friend to run the taproom; Sean, Mac, Adam, and Devin. Having different backgrounds allows them to experiment and explore new and crazy ideas with their beers. Their goal is to push the limits, constantly explore new beers and provide an overall experience to keep customers happy.

Find them at Shift East Brew Fest 2020 on Saturday, May 16, 2020 and ask about their domestic beers, or join them in Lee’s Summit and enjoy the view of the pond while sipping a Pond Side Pale Ale!

Check out one of the amazing breweries that will be joining us this year at Shift East Brew Fest 2020 on Saturday, May 16, 2020: City Barrel

City Barrel is a niche brewery bringing innovative sours and IPA's to the amazing people of Kansas City. Along with beer, they also have imaginative cocktails and serve unparalleled food. City Barrel was founded by three good looking guys, James Stutsman, Grant Waner and Joe Giammanco. It was through their mutual love of all things hoppy and sour that the three friends decided to take on this venture together. We recommend RAD AF 6.4% New England IPA.

If you haven't tried them yet, don't miss your chance to visit https://www.citybarrelbrewing.com/
