Here's more about Black Stag Brewery:

Black Stag Brewery owners John Hampton, Kathryn and William Myers descended from German, Welsh and Scottish immigrants. The Hampton family ancestors immigrated from Germany and Great Britain in the early 1700s settling in the Virginia Commonwealth. By the early 1800s the Hamptons had made it to the Western Frontier and a settlement that would later be known as Kansas City. The Hamptons were among the first people to settle in Kansas and later would be part of the free state movement and were among the original "Jayhawkers" of the free state of Kansas. Though some Hamptons moved on westward, our owner's ancestors made Kansas their home and they had with them beer recipes from the old country that would have dated back to prior to 1700. ​ Fast forward 220 years. ​ The love of Lawrence, of brewing beer, and of good food translated into a passion for hometown hospitality in our founders. Opening a brewery and restaurant in the heart of Downtown Lawrence was a merging of family ideals, passion, experience, and timing.
