Vine Street Brewing Co. is Missouri’s first-ever black-owned brewery and stands at the forefront of a new era in craft beer. The brewery is nestled in the heart of Kansas City’s historic 18th & Vine Jazz District, the intersection of creativity, community, and colorful expression.

Haircut series

The Hair Cut Series celebrates the iconic hairstyles of Black culture. Being Missouri's first black-owned brewery, they wanted each label to pay tribute to the distinct looks and individuality they represent. Like the beers inside, each style is unique and crafted with personality, character, and pride.

Dreamland

The beer name and artwork is inspired by the Dreamland Theater of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which was a symbol of African American success and unity that was tragically destroyed during the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. This beer aims to pay tribute to the spirit of the community that faced unimaginable adversity by sparking conversations on our shared history and the paths toward healing.
