Kansas City Chiefs fans are stocking up their beer refrigerators and making room in their bellies for this Sunday’s Super Bowl.

With Patrick Mahomes at the helm, the Chiefs are sailing down to Florida to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, which means I have to try my best to avoid nautical references in the rest of this week’s Tap List.

Shiver me timbers!

Okay, I’m done.

But seriously, this is a big deal for the Kansas City beer scene. Why? Because if the Chiefs win this weekend, then there will almost certainly be fireworks, and beer pairs very nicely with fireworks.

If you’re looking for a place to watch the Super Bowl this Sunday, then head over to Border Brewing Co. — 406 E. 18th St., Kansas City, Missouri — at 5:30 p.m. and enjoy some delicious beer as the Chiefs play for the Vince Lombardi trophy!

Beer Releases

City Barrel Brewing Co. — 1740 Holmes St., Kansas City, Missouri — released Cult Following (8% ABV), a sour raspberry apricot DIPA packed with fruit and Mexican vanilla flavors!

Torn Label Brewing Co. — 1708 Campbell St., Kansas City, Missouri — is celebrating Kansas Day with a new beer release. Goldihops, which clocks in at a crushable 4.8% ABV, is brewed with super Cascade hops from Kansas Hop Co. 

Zelda’s Vanilla Cream Ale (5% ABV, 22 IBU) by Big Rip Brewing Co. — 216 E. 9th Ave., North Kansas City, Missouri — has been seen around the Kansas City area on draft and in cans. So ask your local pub/restaurant if they carry it, because if they don’t, they probably should!
