Distillery Tour

Overview

Join us for a one-hour guided tour of J. Rieger & Co., Kansas City’s iconic distillery, located in the historic Electric Park neighborhood of the East Bottoms district. Discover the history of our brand, from its founding during the wild and raucous years when the city boasted “the wettest block in the world”, to its premature demise at the dawn of Prohibition, and eventual revival in 2014, nearly a century later.

Enjoy extensive access to each phase of the distillation process, from grain to bottle. The tour will conclude with a tasting of our four core products led by one of our knowledgeable guides.

Our front office holiday outing was to the Rieger for a tour and we had a BLAST! As someone who loves both history and understanding the processes of how things work, our tour guide Shannon did phenomenal. She explained things in a way everyone understood while keeping things fun and interesting. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and the atmosphere was so unique, I'll definitely be coming back! Not to mention they have a slide! I can't wait to suggest this place to all my friends, family, and guests at the Crossroads Hotel!

I've always felt rushed and bored at out distillery or brewery tours, but you could tell how knowledgeable and invested Shannon was! She has great jokes too. They were very accommodating to our group when we decided to take our front office team there for our Christmas party. The Crossroads Hotel loves J. Rieger!!

We did the distillery tour and I can’t say enough good things about it. First their customer service is amazing! We had booked the week prior and my husband got sick and we couldn’t make it. They refunded us the money and called a few times to follow up. The building is beautiful. We arrived early and had some great drinks upstairs. The tour was a little over a hour long. We learned so much about Kansas City history along with the companies history. They have a really cool room surrounded by the whiskey barrels you can rent out ( I pictured below). The tasting gave us more info about some of the history and how the company is working on branding “Kansas City” whiskey. Afterwards we went downstairs to the speak easy the hey hey club such a neat space. If you have the chance GO!!
