Servaes Brewing Co. (it’s pronounced like service) is the culmination of passion, hard work and persistence. Courtney Servaes began brewing in 2012 with a kettle, a propane burner and a few beer-loving friends. That casual hobby evolved into what can only be described as an obsession. Since then, Courtney has brewed hundreds of different beers, challenging herself to try new things, learn new styles and explore new and inventive flavor profiles. As a homebrewer, Courtney was heavily involved in the Lawrence Brewers Guild, had the opportunity to participate in a few scale-ups at professional breweries and won several awards for her homebrew.
Servaes Brewing Co. is a 6,000-square-foot brewery and taproom at 10921 Johnson Drive in downtown Shawnee, Kansas. We took possession of the building in August 2018, after filing for our LLC in March 2018. In November 2018, we successfully completed a crowdfunding campaign that raised $25,494 from 186 backers (126% of our $20K goal). Servaes Brewing Co. opened to the public on April 20, 2019. We were the first brewery in Kansas — and one of few in the Midwest — owned and operated by a female head brewer! In April 2023, we completed an expansion to 10923 Johnson Drive — known as The Mosaic Room — that doubled the taproom size to nearly 100 seats.
We focus on NEIPAs, novelty, barrel-aged and innovative sour beers. Courtney has been known to add all kinds of interesting things to beers, including whole pumpkin pies, entire boxes of red velvet cake mix, chocolate chip cookies and much more. SBC produces the highest-quality beer that is fluid and dynamic, flavorful and ever-evolving. We are always trying new things and always reinventing ourselves and our beer.
