Wichita Brewing Co. & Pizzeria

Witchita Brewing Co. & Pizzeria has the recipe for success by pairing craft brews with home-made pizza. The beers are creative and tasty – one of their signatures, the What About Bob IPA, comes in at 7.5 ABV and is a hoppy yet crisp beer. If you plan on staying for dinner, we recommend ordering one of the four beer flights and one of the unique pizzas, such as the Cajun Bacon Ranch.

Hopping Gnome is an eclectic brewing company with five original brews. Hopping Gnome is dedicated to the “buy local” movement and attempts to source as many of their ingredients as possible from Wichita. The finished products are worth these extra considerations. Enjoy a a glass of beer in the taproom or take home a growler of The Earl of ESB, a mild beer with some earthy undertones.
