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.

🍻 RACE DAY REFRESHMENT 🍻

Each Spring, thousands descend on Emporia for one of cycling’s greatest challenges—Unbound Gravel, 200 grueling miles through the Flint Hills. We brewed Gravel City Kölsch to keep both riders and fans refreshed.

This crisp, bright gold German-style Kölsch finishes clean with just a touch of minerality, perfect for beating the Kansas heat. Available in six-packs and on draft throughout the region.

5.4% ABV | 12 IBUs

The Bottom Line: Light-bodied, clean, and endlessly crushable.
