CERVEZA CON
CULTURA
This is not just our story.
It’s the story of anyone who has ever dared to try.
To hope. To overcome. To keep rising, no matter what.
We are defined not by where we begin,
but by how far we’re willing to go.
The story of humanity is not one of perfection, but of resilience. Of stumbling forward. Of finding strength in the struggle. We don’t chase comfort. We chase meaning. We work not just to survive, but to create something worthy of legacy.
At our core, we believe in potential. In the grit that grinds through hardship. In the fire that never goes out. In the truth that every day is a chance to begin again.
Rooted in Community. Crafted with Purpose.
RIZOMA Brewing was born in 2019 out of pure passion and hustle: no taproom, no shortcuts, just passion, pop-ups, and a purpose to brew something different in Kansas City. What started as a series of popups across Kansas City quickly grew into something deeper: a movement grounded in culture, connection, and craft.
As Kansas City’s first Hispanic-owned brewing company, we’re proud to represent culture, creativity, and resilience in every pour. From humble beginnings at local markets and events, to unforgettable collabs with KC’s top breweries, RIZOMA has always been about more than just beer. It's about creating space for stories, for connection, and for flavor that reflects who we are.
Every small-batch release, every collab, every event is rooted in our mission: to uplift community and craft beer with soul. Along the way, we’ve found partners who share our values and our vision, people who believe in the product, the brand, and the power of a good story.
Today, RIZOMA is still growing, spreading like its namesake. Deeply rooted. Community-driven. Unapologetically original.
Join the movement. Drink with purpose. Grow with RIZOMA.
Kansas City brewed. Hispanic owned. Community grown.
RIZOMA | “ri-ZO-ma," [ˈrizoːmɒ]
A rizoma, or rhizome, is an underground stem that grows horizontally, sending out roots and shoots from its nodes. Unlike a single-rooted plant, a rhizome spreads laterally and regenerates even when parts are cut or broken, representing resilience, adaptability, and interconnected growth. Examples: ginger, bamboo, and certain grasses.
MISSION
To craft exceptional beer that embodies the spirit of resilience, connection, and purpose, rooted in authenticity, brewed with intention, and shared in community.
We exist to inspire progress, to honor the strength it takes to keep going, and to build a space where people come together over a pint and a story worth telling.
VISION
To be a pioneering force in independent brewing, and known not only for bold flavors, but for bold values.
We envision a future where beer is more than a product, it’s a platform for people to rise, connect, and celebrate the journey.
Where every pour affirms the power of perseverance and the beauty of what’s possible when we stay true, stay grounded, and keep going.
We build, we fall, we rise.
We adapt, we learn, we try again.
We face the storms, the failures, the doubt. And yet still, we get up. We press on, again and again, not because it’s easy, but because there’s something in us that refuses to quit.
Resilience is not a trait, it’s a choice. A decision we make every day to keep going, to believe in something better. Even when the road is steep and the night is long.
CORE VALUES
Resilience
We rise through challenge. Struggle is part of our origin story, and our fuel. We endure, adapt, and keep going, knowing that perseverance is our greatest strength. We honor the struggle, knowing it shapes the strength and depth of our craft and our character.
Community
Beer brings people together. We foster spaces where everyone feels welcome, seen, and celebrated. We’re more than a brewery, we’re a gathering place for belonging. We are rooted in bringing people together, creating space for connection, conversation, and celebration.
Courage
We take risks with heart. We push boundaries, stand by our values, and keep creating even when the outcome is uncertain. We’re not here to follow, we’re here to lead.
Craftsmanship
Every batch is a commitment to excellence. We take pride in doing things the right way, not the easy way, because quality isn’t just what you taste, it’s what you feel.
Purpose
We’re here for more than profit. Every choice we make is guided by a deeper mission, to uplift, to inspire, and to make a lasting, positive impact on the world around us.
Sustainability
We believe in brewing a future we can be proud of. From sourcing ingredients responsibly to minimizing waste and energy use, we take care of the Earth that sustains us. Growth means nothing if it costs the planet.
Rooted Growth
Like a rizoma, we expand with intention: resilient, humble, and ever-connected to where we started. We grow deeper before we grow wider.
