Black Stag Brewery

scooterj — Sat, 21 Nov 2020 18:13:00 +0000

(Downtown, Lawrence, KS)

Scooter’s 1450th bar, first visited in 2020.

This was a bit frustrating, because their online menu was out of date and they were out of absolutely every beer that both my brother and I pre-picked. And the printed menus we were handed weren’t quite up to date either.

What I finally wound up with was a flight of Thing 3 (chile beer), Uncle Paul’s Nitro Stout, Bamburgh Castle Ale (brown ale), and The Mad King Oktoberfest.

Free State Brewing Company

scooterj — Sat, 21 Nov 2020 18:12:00 +0000

(Downtown, Lawrence, KS)

Scooter’s 1449th bar, first visited in 2020.

I actually visited this place around 30 years ago, not long after it opened. But I was not quite 21 yet so couldn’t count it as I did not have any beer. Now I can finally count it.

My flight consisted of Hoptic Nerve (American IPA), Oatmeal Stout, Alley-oop Dunkel, and Deep Groove (imperial porter).

(Lawrence, KS)

Scooter’s 1448th bar, first visited in 2020.

My brother and I had passport books that were about to expire so headed to Lawrence to visit (or re-visit) all the breweries there.

I had a flight with ‘Lectric (American IPA), River Rat Oatmeal Stout, and East Side (Pale Ale). I also had a full pour of Eastern Bloc Party (Baltic porter).

Fields & Ivy Brewery

scooterj — Sat, 07 Mar 2020 18:10:00 +0000

(Lawrence, KS)

Scooter’s 1433rd bar, first visited in 2020.

As I was driving to this brewery, I got a breaking news alert on my phone about the first COVID-19 case in the Kansas City area. A week later, they started shutting it all down. Making this the last new brewery or bar I would get to visit for several months.

I had the Prairie Star (porter), Paean (barleywine), Schmoo Whale (Imperial stout), and Kaw River Roller (Imperial IPA).

We both had Bud. 16 oz draws were $2.25 each. The ceiling fans were designed to look like engines.

Check out the cool ceiling fans they had throughout the place…
