What Kansas City's weather means for breweries
July averages a high of 90°F and about 47 days a year reach 90°F, warm enough for a summer tee run without turning the whole shelf over to heat. Winter bites, with January averaging a high of just 40°F and lows near 22°F at the coldest, so stock heavy hoodies and cuffed beanies for November to March and give them the prime shelf. About 38 inches of rain and melted snow a year means a few release days will meet bad weather, so keep a plan to move the line indoors and the merch table by the bar. Snowfall of about 18 inches a year is enough to make a cuffed beanie an easy add-on at the register from the first flurries into early spring. About 93 nights a year fall to freezing, enough to keep hoodies and crewnecks in front from late fall into spring.
