Border Brewing Company is the original brewery and taproom in Kansas City's Crossroads Arts District, founded by owner and lead brewer Eric Martens, who opened the business after a career as a chemical and process engineer. Open since 2015, it pours a rotating lineup of house-brewed beer, cider, seltzer, and cocktails. In December 2024 the brewery launched Baseline, billed as Kansas City's first locally-owned craft non-alcoholic beer series, brewed in-house to the same standards as its flagship beers. The series debuted in two styles — Baseline Amber, a malt-forward beer with toasty caramel character, and Baseline Pale, a citrus-forward hoppy style — both under 0.5% ABV. The Baseline beers are available on tap at the Crossroads taproom and in to-go four-packs and crowlers. Because the NA beer is house-brewed rather than a stocked national brand, it is a genuine local zero-proof program.

“Baseline represents a new chapter for us. Creating a non-alcoholic beer is no small feat — it requires precision, innovation, and an in-depth understanding of brewing processes, regulations, and testing.”— Eric Martens, Border Brewing founderStartland News, 2024 →
