About Wichita brewing company

Wichita Brewing Company, or WBC as it is affectionately known by its fans, began as a homebrewers dream -- a passion turned into Wichita’s own brewery. In 2011, the first location opened as a brewpub in West Wichita in the same location it occupies today. Paired with wood-fired pizza, five hand-crafted beers were on tap. The number of beers on tap grew to 17 and the number of brewpubs doubled to 2 when the East Wichita pub was opened in 2015, also still cooking and brewing in its original location.

Production & Distribution

In 2016, WBC took a leap into canning, kegging, and widespread distribution with the acquisition of a full Production facility in Wichita. This allowed for the distribution of cans and kegs to restaurants and bars and retail stores which led to WBC products reaching as far as Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wyoming. In 2020 WBC signed a licensing agreement to bring back Tallgrass Brewing Company’s popular line of beers. Tallgrass, one of the original craft brewers in Kansas, suddenly stopped brewing in 2018, but was given a second life when WBC added Tallgrass beers to their lineup.

Expanding wbc

2025 provided a couple of new chapters to the WBC story. The third brewpub opened in Historic Delano, near downtown Wichita. The Delano pub has two floors, a rooftop deck, two additional patios, and interior seating for almost 200 people. It has quickly become a destination for those who desire the feel of the downtown energy, a view from the original rooftop bar in Delano, and a uniquely designed interior connecting the past to the future. In addition to the new brewpub, WBC signed a contract brewing agreement with Kelsey Grammer’s Faith American brewery. WBC produces and distributes Faith American products in Wichita and surrounding areas, bringing this exciting and popular brand to the Midwest all the way from New York. Grammer has made numerous appearances in Wichita promoting Faith American’s new products.
