About BKS Artisan Ales - Crossroads
BKS Artisan Ales - Crossroads is the second tasting room of BKS Artisan Ales, on McGee Street in Kansas City's Crossroads Art District. It opened in late 2025. The room has 16 taps and plenty of seating.
The beers lean hop-forward, from classic ales to modern and experimental ones. Lagers come through the Pivo Project, a deliberate effort devoted to the style. Packaged beer is available to go as well.
Kids are welcome when they come with an adult, because anyone under 21 must be accompanied. Outside food is welcome, and there are lots of food options nearby. The entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating are all wheelchair accessible.
The brewery says it won two gold medals at the 2026 World Beer Cup, for Westland New Zealand Style IPA and Which Way Session IPA. It also says it was the 2025 Missouri Beer Cup Brewery of the Year in the under 1,000 barrel class.
