Tap into your wild side at Casual Animal Brewing Company where local beer, plants, and art intersect! Our taproom brims with floor to ceiling greenhouse vibes and graphic design. Enjoy a pint or flight of our 11 rotating taps, including our Local Motive beer where $2 of every pint is donated to a different KC non-profit every two months.

This month, every pint of the Local Motive beer benefits Literacy KC. $2 of every pint sold goes directly to the organization to support their mission to advance literacy within the Kansas City metropolitan area through direct services, advocacy, and collaboration.

Meet some Literacy KC representatives onsite 5 – 7 pm to learn more about the organization, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming events.

We are also crazy excited to announce our food partnership with @affarekc in anticipation of the World (Stage) ⚽️ this summer! We formally invite you to our May 1st First Friday where we will be taste-testing and trialing our collaboration. Your feedback and help as we ready all systems would mean, well, THE WORLD 😉 .

Food is hot at 5pm and served until they sell out! Come hungry and come early to ensure a taste of this unique partnership.

For your sweet tooth, we have Whaley Sweet cookies selling their designer yums 5 – 8pm.
