Tallgrass Brewing Company

Tallgrass Brewing Company is a craft brewery in Manhattan, KS. Tallgrass is the largest brewery in Kansas, [1] and is distributed in 13 states as of May 2015.[2] In August 2018, Tallgrass announced that they would be shutting down operations indefinitely.

History

The brewery was founded by Jeff Gill in 2006.[2] Gills was a former geologist, who had learned brewing as a homebrewer.[3] Though initially the beers were bottled, the brewery switched to cans in 2010for environmental and quality reasons.[2][4][5] In 2014, the Brewery moved from its original warehouse space, to a warehouse space near Manhattan Regional Airport.[6] The expansion increased the breweries capacity from a Tallgrass record 365,000 gallons produced in 2013, to the ability to brew 3 million gallons per year.[3] At the same time, Tallgrass began developing a brewpub, called Tallgrass Taphouse on Poyntz Road in downtown Manhattan. In August 2018, Tallgrass announced that they would be shutting down operations indefinitely. [3]
