UNIQUE CRAFT BEER BAR BREWHAUS BROS. NOW OPEN AT INTRUST BANK ARENA


(Wichita, Kan.) – INTRUST Bank Arena has remodeled and rebranded an upper level concourse concession stand into a brand-new destination space for fans. Brewhaus Bros., a unique craft beer bar, is now open at section 207. 

Construction on Brewhaus Bros., the brand-new destination space on the west end of the upper level concourse, began in December. Brewhaus Bros. is a unique craft beer bar and takes the place of the former Dog Pound concession stand at section 207. Brewhaus Bros. will proudly serve craft beers locally brewed in Wichita and across the Kansas region. The bar features 14 taps which will rotate through craft beers. The beer menu initially includes Thunder Blonde and What Winter? Ale from Wichita Brewing Co. in Wichita, Kan., Tornado Alley IPA and Old Town Brown from River City Brewery in Wichita, Kan., Teter Rock Kolsch and Warbeard Irish Red form Walnut River Brewing Company in El Dorado, Kan., Gutch English Ale and Thrasher IPA from Defiance in Hays, Kan., 8-Bit Pale Ale and Pub Ale from Tallgrass in Manhattan, Kan., Ad Astra Ale and Oatmeal Stout from Freestate Brewing Company in Lawrence, Kan. and Unfiltered Wheat and Pale Ale from Boulevard Brewing Company in Kansas City, Mo.

In addition, the stand will feature a food menu of tasty snacks that pair well with craft beer. Brewhaus Bros. signature items include an Italian Hot Beef Sandwich, Pub Cheese and Chips, a Charcuterie Plate, a Cheddar Ale Bread Bowl Soup, and SAVOR… Seasoned Pretzels. Seating for more than 90 guests, through a mixture of cocktail tables and traditional tables, was also added to the concourse area outside the concession stand. 

“This brand-new destination space offers a new, unique experience for our guests while also providing an additional concourse seating area for fans to relax at,” commented Greg Read, SAVOR Regional Director of Food & Beverage at INTRUST Bank Arena. “We’re pleased to bring this selection of 14 locally brewed craft beers to our guests and to have the opportunity to cater to the craft beer crowd. This is an excellent addition to our already wide variety of food & beverage offerings, and we’re excited for fans to experience this new location.” 

Brewhaus Bros. will also serve as the setting for a Wichita Thunder Season Ticket Holder lounge. Season ticket holders must present their season ticket holder card to receive entry into the lounge area and season ticket holders who utilize the lounge will have access to seating areas in Section 209. Brewhaus Bros. will exclusively serve season ticket holders during Wichita Thunder hockey games, with the exception of games that utilize the upper bowl of the arena. For all events where the upper bowl of the arena is being used, Brewhaus Bros. will be open to the public.
