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.

A good walk, good company, and one very good dog. 🐾

Last week, Head Brewer Geoff Deman joined Brad Shanks and Sam Goodell of CEK Insurance for a stroll down the Burroughs Trail with Moilie, a shelter dog from the Lawrence Humane Society, as part of their Mass Street Mutts program.

Mass Street Mutts gets shelter dogs out of the kennel for a little exercise, socializing and time around town, while giving future adopters a chance to see them at their very best.

Moilie handled the assignment like a pro and is ready to find her forever home.  We were just happy to tag along and help spread the word about a great Lawrence program.
