From May 15th to July 15th, join us for a brewery hop like no other. We are proud to introduce Worth the Climb, a collaborative lager series honoring the adventurous and giving spirit of KC's craft beer legend, Mac Lamken.

The Beer:
Each participating brewery has brewed its own version of Worth the Climb Lager, featuring a unique hop variety.

The Quest:
Visit each location to taste the different hop profiles and collect your commemorative hop postcard from each brewery

The Reward:
Collect 10 or more postcards and earn a special reward. Bring your postcards to Diametric Brewing, iTap KC, or iTap Lee's Summit to collect your custom glass and handkerchief.

The Cause:
Donations from each Worth the Climb brewery collaboration directly support The Battle Within and its mission to serve Veterans, First Responders, and Frontline Medical Personnel. Mac was a passionate supporter of TBW and deeply believed in caring for those who carry the weight of service and sacrifice. Raise a glass to Mac’s legacy while supporting a cause dedicated to healing, resilience, and hope.

The series officially launches on May 15th, coinciding with Mental Health Awareness Month and leading up to Mac’s birthday on May 18th.
