• Big Rip has hung its shingle. Now it’s time to try their beers.

The Big Rip Brewing Co. is set to let it rip Sunday. The two-man microbrewery in North Kansas City (216 East Ninth Avenue) will be serving up samples to the participants in the Tour de Brew bike race as part of the official open of their Tap Room. After that, they’ll be serving flights of five beers for those who arrive on two wheels, four wheels or foot, until they run out.

Josh Collins and Kip Feldt have been working on launching Big Rip, which includes a production brewery and tap room, since last summer. They spent the better part of eight months converting an old warehouse space, which has also been built out to accommodate the brewery’s neighbor: Kansas City SmokeShack BBQ. Big Rip is also now scheduling tours of its brewery.
