Free State Brewing opened in 1989 as the first legal brewery in Kansas in more than 100 years. Located in a renovated inter-urban trolly station in historic downtown Lawrence, Kan., the brewery was an early participant in the rejuvenation of the north end of the downtown business district. Led by the renovation and refurbishment of neighboring Liberty Hall and the Eldridge Hotel, the result has been a rebirth of the 600 block of Massachusetts St. Its beers include Grace O'Malley's Irish Ale, Smoky Hill Ale, Ironman Imperial Stout, Coeur de Saison, Wheat State Golden, Ad Astra Ale, Copperhead Pale Ale and Oatmeal Stout. It also features a menu that consists of appetizers, soups, salads, sandwiches and desserts.
