Live the Good Life for Less & Never Miss a Deal

Events at the Hopping Gnome Brewing Company

Sharing is caring!

There is something irreplaceable about being a part of “the local scene.” The Hopping Gnome Brewing Company is one of those local picks — a one-of-a-kind, family-run spot that not only has high-caliber brews, but also serves up that comfy local atmosphere complete with live events.  To top it off, these events are affordable, and sometimes even free!

The Hopping Gnome experience is unique in that they are not a restaurant that serves beer, but a microbrewery and taproom that both (1) brings in local experiences AND (2) allows you to bring in your own.  Whether you enjoy a brew and order a pizza delivered to you at their place or show up to experience the collaboration of Wichita’s local food and fun, you’re sure to become a part of what makes “the local scene” that one-of-a-kind moment we long to have.
