Crane Brewing

Specialties

Crane Brewing Company is an American brewery inspired equally by both the bold craft beers of home and the rustic ales of Europe. We hope to fulfill the desire of our local metro for these exotic beers, and we hope beer lovers from near and far join us in Raytown, MO for a taste sometime. We strive to build on this grand tradition that never stays the same for too long.

History

Established in 2014.

We came together together in 2014 with the plan to open a brewery focused on farmhouse ales, sours, and wild-​fermented beers. We spent a year working on our business model, raising capital, and sharing our beers with whomever we could. We spent the next year building our brewery and getting the necessary licenses. We started brewing Mid-​September 2015.

Business Owner

Chris graduated from The University of Missouri­Kansas City with a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. He has worked in Veterinary Medicine for almost a decade. Being a lover of craft beer and a homebrewer, he often considered opening a brewery. Having many supportive friends in the industry helped him develop a plan. When he met Michael Crane it became apparent that they enhanced each other’s efforts and that they needed to do it together. Chris has enjoyed using his business and brewing experience in developing the brewery.
