We live here. We love here. We brew here.
Martin City Brewing Company was started because, like so many other craft beer drinkers in Kansas City, I was thirsty for something new. I wanted beer that was bigger, bolder and preferably local.
And I knew I wasn’t alone.
So, in 2014, after years of homebrewing and business planning, I opened a brewery in Martin City. Thanks to an enthusiastic community, it wasn’t long until we had a full-blown brewing operation, with canning and distribution throughout the KC metro. We’ll continue to release
bigger, bolder, local beers for our community of craft beer drinkers in Kansas City and beyond. With a wide selection, I’m certain we have a brew that’s perfect for you. Keep drinking local.
Cheers,
Matt Moore
Our tale began over a casual lunch in cozy Martin City, where Matt Moore's spark of an idea to turn a local building into a microbrewery was met with enthusiasm by all. Fueled by a passion for home-brewing and the loving support of his family and friends, Matt embarked on an adventure that turned that little building into the beloved Martin City Brewing Company.
With an amazing network of support, and a lot of determination (and beers!), we opened our doors in June 2011. The warmth of the community's reception was just the beginning. We quickly realized our little pub couldn't handle all the brewing action, so we set our sights on expansion. By January 2014, we proudly opened the Pizza and Taproom alongside our state-of-the-art Brewery, officially diving into the beer brewing business.
Our journey didn't stop there. In November 2014, our finely crafted beers began flowing into local KC metro restaurants, followed by our foray into canning and distributing across state lines. With each new location, from the Mission Farms Pizza & Taproom in 2018 to our dual ventures in Lee’s Summit with Love, Coffee and another Pizza & Taproom in 2019, we brought the Martin City experience to even more communities. Our expansion continued with Station 7 in East Lee’s Summit in 2022, combining Love, Coffee and Pizza & Taproom concepts, and opening another Pizza & Taproom in Lenexa.
Through every milestone, we've been driven by our passion for great beer and food pairings, plus our love for the Kansas City community. We’re incredibly grateful for the support and cheers along the way, and we're excited for many more adventures together!"
