North Kansas City’s craft beer scene has grown exponentially over the past few years. It’s home to several popular local breweries such as Big Rip Brewing Co., Cinder Block Brewery and more. Now, the craft beer hotspot welcomes yet another new brewery into the fold.

Outlaw Cigar & Brewery opened their brand new 13,000-square-foot facility, located at 309 E. 10th Ave., on Sept. 30. Primarily known for their cigars, they decided to add a bar-brewery component. The facility features six beers brewed in house, as well as 10 rotating guest drafts.

Outlaw’s current beers include:

  • Annie Oakley Belgian Blonde (5.7% ABV, 27 IBU)
  • Wagon Wheel Pale Lager (4.6% ABV, 14 IBU)
  • Decibel Up Super Fan IPA (7.1% ABV, 71 IBU)
  • Will Rogers Wit (5.6% ABV, 14 IBU)
  • Whistling Pete Wheat (5% ABV, 21 IBU)
  • Black Bart Porter (5.9% ABV, 31 IBU)

The space features plush leather seating, multiple poker tables, plenty of TVs throughout, a cigar room and the brewery. They’ve already taken advantage of the large space by hosting events like poker tournaments and Chiefs watch parties.

Outlaw is open seven days a week and plans to continue adding more beers to their menu.
