As a former KC resident of 12 years, this makes me want to go visit friends even more.

Six new breweries are gearing up to open in the months ahead, some by the end of this year. The owners of each are chasing craft brewing's 7.8 percent market share in a $14.3 billion industry. Luckily, they're doing it in a place that's not just thirsty but also vying to be a major U.S. craft-beer destination. So grab a tulip glass, mark your calendar and make note of these ambitious new brews on the way.
