One of Wichita’s popular summertime traditions – the Wicked Brew Tour – is back! The tasty fun is set to begin Friday, May 31. What is the Wicked Brew Tour, you ask?

It’s a self-guided tour that takes you to a variety of local businesses to enjoy handcrafted coffee, beer and other brews such as hard cider and kombucha.

The tour, which first made its debut in the summer of 2015, highlights more than 20 businesses in the Heart of the Country, helping locals and tourists alike find the best brews and giving them a flavor-filled experience of local flair and fun through beverages of all kinds.

Within the last 10 years, Wichita’s craft brewery and coffee shop scene has exploded, resulting in dozens of local places throughout the city to find craft beverages. Now in its eighth year, the tour celebrates these amazing local businesses.

The Wicked Brew Tour has seen success in not only getting Wichitans out to drink locally, it also has been a great way to showcase the best craft beers, ciders, kombucha and specialty coffee drinks in Wichita to visitors. Last year, the tour resulted in approximately 19,000 visits to local breweries and coffee shops.

"Wicked Brew Tour has become a fun summer tradition. Our team looks forward to giving that fresh stamp to familiar faces, welcoming new guests to the taproom, and boasting about our vibrant small business community. I don't think it's a coincidence that ‘beers’ rhymes with ‘cheers!’”

How it works

To get started, pick up a passport at any participating location (see below) or at the Visitor Center, located at 515 S. Main Street in downtown Wichita.

Once you collect at least 10 stamps from the 20-plus participating businesses, turn in your passport for an official 2024 Wicked Brew Tour T-shirt.

Designed and printed locally by Wichita Screen Printing, the tour’s T-shirts feature a distinctive new look each year. We recommend finishing your passport early, as there will only be 2,000 T-shirts available. Due to high interest in this event, shirts are on a first-come, first-served basis and sizes are not guaranteed.

Wicked Brew Tour participants are encouraged to use the hashtag #WickedBrewTour on social media. For more information, see our guide or follow Visit Wichita on Facebook and Instagram at @VisitWichita.
