.. wow!
I don't even know where to start!
So, there's 200 beers to choose from, with over 74 on tap!
If you're a member of the UFO club, when get through the whole beer menu you'll earn a personalized saucer to be displayed proudly on the wall or ceiling!
What's good? Get a beer flight!
We arrived here just after dark from a jam packed day starting with a quick bite at Joe's BBQ Kansas City, then a stroll through the World War I museum. A break for coffee at Thou Mayest (a Kansas City local specialty coffee roaster), and an iconic $5 Manhattan at Pierponts in Union Station.
Located near the Power and Light district. There's plenty of entertainment around - From restaurants and bars, down to shopping and live music.
We each had a beer flight designed by our most friendliest bartender.
I asked to have a combo of brews, as broad of a selection as possible.
This resulted in a Strongbow cider, Hofbrau Hefe Weizen, Tallgrass buffalo sweat oatmeal stout, Green flash hop head red, and a Bells 2 hearted IPA.
.. how's that for variety!
Aside from setting us up and pouring our drinks, she also explained to us what the tasting notes were for each of our drinks, and which ones were her favorite. A very important element for a craft beer bar is a knowledgable and passionate bartender - and the flying saucer scores another point.
The atmosphere was great. It's cosy, friendly, busy and passionate. Being a Gastropub, it meets every criteria, but with extremely reasonable prices - which is another point scored by the flying saucer.
There are events held here on a regular basis, every week showcasing one rare beer on tap. A $3 local beer night, Trivia night, and Brewery night where a certain brewery showcases their beer along with giveaway collectable glassware as incentive for patrons to trying out their brew.
So, If you're ever around the district (which you will if you're in Kansas), make sure to check out the Flying Saucer Draught Emporium.
Sure they have another 16 locations across the US, but Kansas City is where the breweries (and microbreweries) are booming, with over 21 craft brewers and counting.
Therefore, if it's anywhere you wanted to take your beer palette on a journey, it's here in Kansas City.
