A Statement from Vine Street Brewing Co. on the Recent Parade Incident

It's with heavy hearts that we reach out to our community today. What was meant to be a day of joyous celebration for our beloved Kansas City Chiefs and the city turned to sorrow with the tragic events that unfolded at the Super Bowl parade. Located just a mile and a half from the site of the incident, we at Vine Street Brewing Co. feel the weight of this tragedy deeply.

We are more than a brewery; we are part of the fabric of Kansas City, fans of the Chiefs, and advocates for the unity that our team and city represent. The parade's spirit was a reflection of our collective pride—a pride that remains unshaken, even in the face of adversity.

Yet, amidst the chaos, the spirit of Kansas City shone through. To the first responders and everyday heroes who acted swiftly and selflessly, we see you, we appreciate you, and we honor you. Your courage in the moment of fear reminds us of the resilience and strength of our community.

This incident must be a wake-up call for our city. It's a moment to reflect on what brings us together and the precious nature of these gatherings. It's a time to reinforce our commitment to one another, ensuring that every family, friend, and neighbor can come together in celebration without fear.

As we move forward, we must channel our energy toward healing, supporting those affected, and safeguarding the future of our public gatherings. Let's work together to maintain Kansas City as a place where community and safety are held in the highest regard.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time. In the coming weeks, we will be exploring ways to support those impacted and to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about safety in our community.

With hope and determination,

Vine Street Brewing Co.
