Even though it may not seem like it, summer will be here before we know it. We would love to plan our Big Float, but will not be able to use the Big Ark due to the First St Bridge construction. We would love to know what you think. Please take this short survey to assist us. We are tentatively scheduling the event the first weekend in August! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GWB65MY

The weather is warming up and being outside is becoming more fun. Unfortunately, due to the replacement of 1st St bridge, our shop will remain closed to all water rentals for the time being. We will operate a limited inventory at a satellite location June 1-August 1 by reservation only. We will continue to serve the Wichita community as best we are able with the challenges we have with construction. Thank you for your continued support and choosing to spend your time with us.

🍺 ✈️ YOU’RE INVITED — THE LAUNCH OF THE 1880 BOMBER ✈️ 🍺
The Delano Business Association and Wichita Brewing Co & Pizzeria are proud to unveil a brand new brew inspired by Delano’s rich history and Wichita’s aviation spirit.

Introducing the 1880 Bomber — a special release beer that celebrates the year Delano became part of Wichita while paying tribute to our city’s proud aerospace heritage. The name also gives a nod to baseball fans — because who doesn’t love hitting a bomber at the ballpark?
📅 Date: April 2nd, 2026
⏰ Time: 4:30 PM
📍 Location: Wichita Brewing Company – Delano
901 W Douglas Ave
Be among the first to taste this limited seasonal release and celebrate with fellow community members, local businesses, and Delano supporters.

🍻 Bonus:
10% of every 1880 Bomber sold will go back to support the Delano Business Association and its efforts to support and grow the Delano District.

⚾ After the unveiling, grab your beer and enjoy common consumption in Delano before heading over to Equity Bank Park for the Wichita Wind Surge season opener at 6:30 PM!
Come raise a glass, celebrate Delano, and kick off baseball season the right way.

🍺 Cheers to history, community, and great beer.
