Limitless Brewing

Limitless Brewing is Lenexa’s first brewery — a community-focused, family-owned craft beer maker founded in 2018 by the Mobley family, now operating from a purpose-built taproom at 9500 Dice Lane.

Description

Limitless Brewing is an independent, family-owned craft brewery and taproom in Lenexa, Kansas, billed as the city’s first brewery.¹ The brewery operates under the tagline “Beer-centered, community-focused,” outfitting its taproom with communal tables intended to encourage strangers to sit together over a glass of beer.² Its production philosophy is to “make what people want to drink,” brewing across a wide range of styles based on customer preference.³ The brewery is known for innovative releases including a Jamaican rum barrel-aged barleywine and its crowd-favorite hazy IPA “JoCo Juice,” described as resembling orange juice when poured.⁴ The taproom hosts events year-round — yoga sessions, running clubs, volunteer opportunities, live music, and weekend food trucks — and is open 365 days a year.⁵

Ownership and history

Limitless Brewing was founded by the Mobley family — Emily Mobley, her husband Dave Mobley, Dave’s brother Steve Mobley, and Darin Worthington — and first opened as a microbrewery and taphouse at 9765 Widmer Road in Lenexa in November 2018, making it Lenexa’s first brewery.⁶ The founders were inspired to start their own brewery after spending a year touring breweries across the country and blogging about their experiences.⁶

As the operation outgrew its original Widmer Road space, the owners built a new, larger facility. In April 2021 they announced plans for a purpose-built 4,500-square-foot brewery, taproom, and patio at 95th Street and Dice Lane.⁷ The new taproom at 9500 Dice Lane opened December 10, 2022, allowing the brewery to ramp up production and its canning operation.⁴ Dave and Emily Mobley are the current proprietors.³

Disputes

None at this time. Note: the original 2018 location was 9765 Widmer Road; the business relocated to the current 9500 Dice Lane facility in December 2022 — historical addresses are not a dispute, only a relocation.
