Tap List | Taking a Trip on the Johnson County Ale Trail

#1 Post by ryanmetcalf » Tue Aug 11, 2020 8:54 am

If you’re looking for a boozy trail, one that doesn’t necessarily involve walking or bike riding, take the Johnson County Ale Trail! The ale trail was first conceived by Lost Evenings Brewing Co. in order to highlight the incredible beer scene in Johnson County. The trail includes nine breweries.

The trail begins at Red Crow Brewing Co., 1062 W. Santa Fe in Olathe, and ends at Brew Lab, 7925 Marty St. in Overland Park. Other participating breweries include Pathlight Brewing, Transport Brewery, Servaes Brewing Company, Limitless Brewing, Lost Evenings Brewing Co., Rockcreek Brewing Co. and Sandhills Brewing.

Lost Evenings Brewing Co. Opens Along the Johnson County Ale Trail in Lenexa
A new craft brewery has opened its doors in Lenexa, Kansas, offering limited indoor seating as well as to-go sales.

Patrick Davis and Heather Frisch opened Lost Evenings Brewing Co. in late June, but the pair decided against hosting a grand opening party in the brewery's first weekend of operations in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The taproom, which is a mashup between a British pub and modern American craft brewery, can seat more than 150 people, but is currently operating at one-third capacity. “We have a fairly large taproom compared to a lot of other places, but we have seating for less than half of that,” Davis says. “We have come nowhere close to reaching capacity at any given time.”

Davis began homebrewing in 2013 and quickly became obsessed with the hobby. The science aspect of brewing appealed to his engineering background. “I also loved that it provided a creative outlet,” Davis says. “There is an infinite number of malt, hop, water and yeast combinations that you can use to create beer to your exact tastes. That is before factoring in things like fruit or barrel-aging.”
