Vine Street Brewing Co. stands out as Missouri’s first Black-owned brewery, established with a vision by Kemet Coleman, a multifaceted musician, creative, and advocate for Kansas City’s vibrant culture alongside brewers Woodie Bonds and Elliott Ivory.

The brewery, nestled in the historic 18th and Vine district, signifies a renaissance of craft beer within a 150-year-old building that had been vacant for four decades. With its commitment to innovation and community engagement, Vine Street Brewing Co. represents a harmonious blend of craft beer and cultural heritage, brewing ales and lagers inspired by the rhythms of jazz and hip-hop.
