There's no shortage of pub crawls for charitable causes, but Kansas City doesn't yet have a pub that is attached to a charity year-round. If you read The New York Times, we might not have to wait that long for the next cocktail trend.

In a recent story, the Times introduced the idea of pubs attached to charitable causes. The Oregon Public House is set to open in, you guessed it, Portland, Oregon, next month. The Okra Charity Saloon in Houston lets patrons vote with their beer dollars which charity should receive its profits on a monthly basis, and at Shebeen in Australia, a beer's country of origin determines where the profits go. Should Kansas City have a "philanthropub," like Washington, D.C.'s Cause?
