West Bottoms Whiskey

#WhiskeyNeat! I live on the west side of KC... I drive by the west bottoms of Kansas City everyday... Since the pandemic I've been following this new distillery on instagram called West Bottoms Whiskey. A brand new local Kansas City whiskey and a new watering hole for the West Bottoms. A cool old warehouse district... and as you'll learn in the following episode used be home to manufacturers of train cars, tanks, Studebakers, and furniture... now full of funky shops, haunted houses during halloween, and every first Friday, a festival of shopping, food and music. So one day... specifically this one particular day... was a rough day. A day worthy for a slow down. I figured it was time for a visit to West Bottoms Whiskey. I fell in love instantly. Whiskey! Neat! Follow @WestBottomsWhiskeyCo - @CheersKC and Host @RadioTodd #KansasCity #WestBottoms #CraftWhiskey

Crane Brewing Co.

Cheers KC goes to Crane Brewing Co. in Raytown, Missouri. Tucked in behind Raytown road; a beer warehouse nearby what's left of an old railroad line that will soon be part of the largest recreational trail in Missouri. Home to what began as home brew, a passion for beer & recipes, Crane Brewing can now be found at bar taps and coolers all around Kansas City. I meet up with Chris Meyers, the co-founder, co-owner and idea master at Crane Brewing Co. at their beautiful taproom and brewery in Raytown for some Crane suds and stories!

Kelly's Westport Inn

My first beer when I got to town 4 years ago was an Irish bar just around the corner from the radio station in the Westport area of Kansas City. Not knowing the significance of the establishment of which I was enjoying a cold beverage. Turns out, it was the radio station's favorite happy hour spot. You'll often find our sales staff there after beating the streets for advertising dollars, DJ's after their on air shift, management joining in for the camaraderie ... also turns out it's the oldest building in KC and one of the oldest bar establishments... full of history and stories. Let's go to Kelly's Westport Inn on Cheers KC. We talk to Colleen Kelly, and we put the mic in front of some of the team here at Q104 and Steel City Media for some fun.

KC Bier Co.

KC Bier Company. Beer spelled B-I-E-R... German. Authentic German style brew.. served with the same freshness and character as a bier one would enjoy in Germany. A niche not found anywhere in Kansas City and you'd be hard pressed to find anything close to KC Bier Co anywhere really... Boy have they nailed it. From the bier to the bierhalle & brewery in the Waldo neighborhood of Kansas City. Managing Partner Steve Holle and Head Brewer Karlton Graham take us on a serendipitous journey to Germany to a classified ad to the brewery and delicious beers you can enjoy today. Cheers!

Dodson's Bar & Commons

Episode 4: It was a hectic day rolling up to Dodson's Bar & Commons in Waldo. When I met bar curator Eric Jones, I actually had to tell him. I need a minute to decompress. It had been one of those days. Then I realized I was at the exact place...the BEST place to take a minute. Dodsons's vibe is relaxed, music vibes with the bar...sophisticated but not snobby. Swanky! Local brew, cocktail creations that nod to the past, and re-imaging of some of the classics. Originals that are making this bar famous in KC. Follow us @CheersKC and host @RadioTodd

Mean Mule Distilling Co.

Episode 2: Mean Mule Distilling Co. in the Crossroads District is one of the most unique distilleries in the not only KC, but in the United States! Distinct because of what they distill. They make American Agave Spirits... Haven't heard of it? It has a very familiar taste. But as I experienced, it's so much better... and made in KC.
