32 Beers and 32 Chiefs players and Coaches. KCBeerBlog's official guide to beer and the Chiefs for the game next weekend!
In case you missed it, there is an important football game going on next weekend and the Chiefs are playing in it. So I am going to do my best to give you a local beer to drink for most of our Chiefs players and coaches. With all the great beer available, hopefully this will help you narrow down the list.
Andy Reid: B.O.S.S. Imperial Red Ale from Levi Garrison and Son’s Brewery. If I have to explain why you should drink this beer for Coach Reid, I’ve lost all hope in humanity.
Patrick Mahomes: Saison-Brett. Every brewery tries to recreate and clone this beer, just like every NFL team tries to find their version of Patrick Mahomes. Luckily there is only one Patrick Mahomes and only one Saison-Brett. Kansas City has them both. There are similar beers and similar quarterbacks, but none are as good as the original. Plus, you don’t really know how good you have it until they are gone. With Saison-Brett it was the one year hiatus, with Mahomes it was the injury scare this year.
Travis Kelce: Tank 7. Both are franchise cornerstones in their respective professions. Kelce seems calm, gentle and kind, then get him on the field and he is a beast. Tank 7: tasty, easy drinking, and you think you could drink these all night long. The beer drinks like a 4% ABV, then after a few the 8.5% finally hits you. If you get complacent with Tank 7 and Kelce, they will woop your ass! There are also several very good farmhouse Ale’s on the market, just like there are multiple good tight ends, but KC has the best of both. Kelce said it best, “You gotta fight, for your right, to parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttttttttyyyy,” and is there any better way to get the party started than with some Tank 7?
Eric Fisher: Life Coach Lager from Kansas Territory. Another great beer and player who are both underrated, but if Fisher wants to smash two Life Coaches together and pour them all over his face like Stone Cold, your wallet will let him do it all night long.
Tyrann Mathieu: Monk And Honey from Torn Label. Tyrann’s nickname is the Honey Badger, enough said.
Terrel Suggs: Bully Porter from Boulevard. Part of the old guard that keeps on chugging along and ages remarkably well
Dustin Colquitt: Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat. A mainstay and as close to an original as we currently have. This was his 15th season with the Chiefs
Harrison Butker: Easy Way IPA from Martin City. Butker makes field goals look so damn easy. He has an 89% field goal percentage!
Chris Jones: KC Bier Company Dunkel. Chris Jones was drafted by KC in 2016 and KC Bier Company made moves in recent years to become a regional brewery as Jones has risen to the Pro bowl. Jones gets the dunkel because his sacks are like a momentum changing slam dunk.
Frank Clark: Sandhills Raven Imperial Stout. Sandhills names all their beers after birds, Frank Clark came to us from the 𝚂̶𝚎̶𝚊̶𝚌̶𝚑̶𝚒̶𝚌̶𝚔̶𝚎̶𝚗̶𝚜̶ Seahawks. Similar to Clark, the Raven is a robust beer that is meant for sipping and if you take it all at once, it packs a punch.
Emanuel Ogbah: Block IPA from Cinder Block. Ogbah hits opposing quarterbacks like they are getting hit with a Cinder Block, just like the hops in this beer hit your palate.
Daniel Sorenson: Victory Wheat from Well-Being. Since He is a member of the Latter Days Saints and had one of the most crucial plays in our comeback win vs. the Texans, I
paired him up with a great non-alcoholic beer.
Byron Pringle: Any of the beers from Manhattan Brewing Company. Since Pringle went to K-State this is a logical choice. They aren’t open yet, so I can’t commit to an individual beer.
Xavier Williams: Martin City's Yoga Pants Golden Ale. Growing up in Grandview, right next to Martin City, Xavier missed some time with an ankle injury, but with the help of some Yoga, He hopefully has most of his mobility back.
Laurent Duvernay-Tardif: Anything from Headless Mumby. He is a Medical Doctor (M.D.), and Headless Mumby is brewed by a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Keith Ciani, making it the only athlete, beer, doctor, triad I'm aware of. I know Mumby isn't a local beer, but it is brewed by a local legend!
Austin Reiter and James Winchester: Snapper IPA by LogBoat. Reiter is the Center and Winchester the long snapper, another obvious choice.
Kendall Fuller: Rye on Rye on Rye. With this beer and this player you have to be on the defensive. You can easily get around the corner, then once you hit the secondary, it takes a good cornerback like Fuller to remind you this beer clocks in at 14.6%.
Bashaud Breeland: Tropical Pale Ale. He puts the opposing team's wide receivers on an island.
Eric Bienemy: Anything from Tallgrass. It is only a matter of time before our offensive coordinator leaves Kansas City to take a head coaching job. He will be missed and no one can blame him for it.
Steve Spagnuolo: KC Bier Company Helles. He has been making the life of the opposing teams offense a living hell lately.
Lesean "Shady" McCoy: Boss Tom's Golden Bock and Two Jokers both from Boulevard. Shady left Coach Reid and has since been reunited with him, similarly these two beers were brought back to Kansas Citians, in 2019.
Demarcus Robinson: Amerisports Red Zone Lager. He had a limited number of catches but still was able to find the Red Zone 4 times.
Juan Thornhill: 3 Halves Brewing Cannonball Pale Ale. Both are newcomers to Kansas City with very bright futures. Once Thornhill comes back from his injury He is going to be able to hit opposing players like a Cannonball.
Matt Moore: Long Strange Trippel from BLVD. Is there anyone on this team with a weirder route to the big game than Moore. He was coaching high school football a couple of months before the season, but was able to steady the ship for a couple weeks during Mahomes' knee injury.
Mitchell Schwartz: Boulevard Pale Ale. Reliable, consistent, and always there for you. Schwarz played 7,894 consecutive snaps before missing a few against the Titans, and if you are ever in doubt on what beer to drink, you can always count on BLVD Pale to be there for you.
The Refs: 3 Blind Mice from Mothers. Until they are able to figure out what pass interference is with or without replay, this will be their beer.
Whew, that is quite the list. Unfortunately I couldn't get a beer for the entire roster, but for any Chiefs player that I am missing from this list, there is always Champ Stamp from Crane.
Cheers,
Brett A. Myces

Tyreek Hill: Cat Shark Amber Ale from Casual Animal. Since there aren’t any beers named after Cheetahs, I figured this one would suffice. Plus Tyreek is as fast as a cat (Cheetah), but as lethal as a shark.
Mecole Hardman: Cerveza Royale from Stockyards. A relative newcomer, who is smooth, fast, and easy drinking. Mecole came dressed to the Championship game as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire, is there anything smoother than that?
Sammy Watkins: Biscuit from Brewery Emperial. Not flashy or fancy, but damn good and severely underrated.
Damien Williams: Velvet Elvis from Big Rip. Kind of a hybrid of a running back and wide receiver. A great pass catcher, but also a runner. Velvet Elvis is an elaborate hybrid of two beers, Zelda’s Vanilla Cream and Hawthor’s Sweet Brown.
