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 Fruited Sour benefits the Midwest Innocence Project (MIP) dedicated to the investigation, litigation and exoneration of wrongfully convicted people in the five-state region of Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Come meet some MIP representatives onsite 5 – 8pm to learn more about the organization, volunteer opportunities, and upcoming events!

It’s also PIZZA FRIDAY at Casual Animal, featuring freshly made pies by Devoured Pizza pop-up. Jhy Coulter’s cloud crust is SO AMAZING that she won Hulu’s “Best in Dough” competition! Pizza is available 4 – 8pm (or until they sell out)!

Also onsite: Hand-crafted jewelry by Peculiar Atelier, and artwork created by some of our own talented Taproom staff.
