Cinder Block is amazing if you like barrel aged beers. They had three of them on tap last weekend. They have also collaborated with 610 sports to create Il Padrone, which is an Italian pilsner, for the Chiefs playoff run. If you want something unique, try one of their ciders. Cinder Block is 3.2 miles from Power and Light district in downtown KC.

Another great place that's close by, had a grand re-opening last weekend. Callsign Brewing is a veteran owned brewery that just moved into a larger building. Last Saturday, they had BBQ and live music. It might be worth checking them out as well. It looks like their website is having issues, but the new address is 1340 Burlington St, North Kansas City, MO.
There are two other breweries over in that vicinity, Calibration and Big Rip. Neither are my cup of tea, but both are within a mile or two. Chappell's is also very close by and worth a look if you are into sports memorabilia. It's a restaurant and a sports museum.
