• Happy birthday Free State Brewery (and lucky bastards)

  Nathan BorrorFree State rocking on a non-birthday nightTwenty years ago today, Free State Brewery opened its doors to became the first legal brewery in the state of Kansas in more than 100 years. Since 1989 it's become known statewide for its fabulous craft beers like John Brown ale and Copperhead pale ale and its brew-pub food, including fish and chips.To celebrate, Free State is running a special for lucky bastards also born on this day.

It features fight songs, sports highlights and all the Boulevard beer and wine you and you
