Established in 2011
Success seemed to come naturally to the two home brewers. Wichitans rejoiced, and their thirst for craft beer kept growing. Eventually it was decided that Wichita needed to be able to get good beer on both sides of town. In 2015 the east side WBC was open for business, but this was not enough.
Eventually Wichita Brewing Company acquired an 18,000 square foot warehouse. The hopes were to continue brewing the same great beer, but they wanted to brew a lot more of it and they wanted to make sure a lot more people got the chance to enjoy it. This allowed WBC to can, keg, and distribute all throughout the state and on into Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wyoming.
From tinkering with self-built brewing systems in the garage and a brick-fire oven in the back yard to owning and operating an 18,000 square-foot brewing facility in south Wichita, Greg and Jeremy have come a long way. From hopeful and passionate hobbyists to full-fledged entrepreneurs, they have built a highly successful business from the ground up and continue to serve up pizza, beer and passion, in equal measure, every single day.

On draught at Old Chicago.
Pours a hazy orange gold with a fine layer of foam.
Smells of coconut, some fruity bitter hops, maybe some lactose, definitely vanilla.
Coconut and vanilla dominate, bitter fruit, finishes with coconut and a mild bitterness.
Good mouthfeel, good and interesting brew. 1 per session for me only though.

No dating on the can that I can find.
It pours a clearish medium gold, settles to an inch of foam.
Smells of wheat, light citrus, earthy.
Taste is wheat, light citrus, some bread, kinda neutral between bitter and sweet.
Good enough mouthfeel.
Average for the style.

On draught at Urban Bottles.
Pours a very dark brown with a tannish head of foam.
Smells of the whiskey, chocolate, has hoppy notes (100 IBUs).
Taste is strong with the whiskey but not overwhelming. I get a lot of chocolate malt, more of a sweet nature. Light roasted malt as well, some warming during and after the swallow.
Pleasing mouthfeel. Another beer that I get to try at Urban Bottles!

Pour is a dark brown, almost black with a large tan head. Aroma is a little chocolate cocoa powder and toasted malt. Flavor is a bitter bakers chocolate with a little char and roast. Brown ale verging on porter territory. This was actually pretty good stuff. Not your average bland brown ale.

Best before April 21st 2019. A sticker on the 6pack.
It pours a clear gold with plenty of billowy foam and leaves lacing behind.
It has a tropical fruit and hoppy nose. Grapefruit, mango, some pineapple, caramel malt sweetness is noticeable.
The taste follows the nose. Smacking good tropical fruit, which imparts fruity sweetness, grapefruit bitterness, caramel malt, very balanced flavours that make it a breeze to drink. That and the reasonable abv.
Succulent mouthfeel.
This is a fun to drink IPA.

No dating found on the can.
It pours a clear gold with an inch of fluffy foam, very decent lacing.
The smell is of a hoppy sour mix. Intriguing. Sweetish notes, even a hint of Brett. Tad bit of spice that reminds me of cinnamon.
The taste is tart up front, fruity, some definite oak from the barrel, light Brett, spicy but I can't nail it down to cinnamon. The mix is kinda hard to break down to their individual attributes.
Light body with lively carbonation.
Not a candidate for back to back consuming but it is nice.

Undated can at Old Chicago.
Pours a brilliantly clear light gold with a small head of foam.
Strong aromas of lemon and wheat, tart level pretty high.
Taste has a tart yet almost sweet taste of lemon. Wheat holds it in place. Tasty and refreshing.
Perfect mouthfeel for the style.
Digging this.

12oz can pours a clear gold with some white head. Nose is lemony, sweat, a little pukey. Flavor is straight up lemon and salt, grist. Finishes watery and tart.
