FIND YOUR FLOW 🍺

The best part of summer winding down? Tailgate season is just getting started.

Cooler evenings, stadium lights, good people, and a b**r that fits the moment. Buffalo Sweat Vanilla Bean brings smooth oatmeal cream stout flavor with a rich touch of vanilla that’s right at home when the sun goes down and the game-day energy picks up.

Wherever you're headed this weekend, find your flow.

BTS: THE WAREHOUSE IS LOOKING LIKE A WAREHOUSE 👀

A little progress report from behind the scenes at Walnut River Brewing: the shell of our new warehouse is almost complete.

Walls are up. Roof is on. Concrete is down. And there is officially a whole lot of glorious empty space waiting to be filled with b**r. 🍺

Next up: garage doors, followed by electrical, and then we’ll keep chipping away at everything it takes to get this place operational.

After spending more than a year without dedicated warehouse space, seeing this building actually take shape is a pretty big deal for our little brewery.

Still work to do, but we're getting closer.

And while we’re showing off the progress, we also want to say thank you. Every pint you order, every six-pack you grab, every event you come to, and every time you choose Walnut River helps us keep growing and doing what we love.

We wouldn’t be building for the future without all of you. Cheers! 🍻

🍺 B**R OF THE WEEK: BUFFALO SWEAT VANILLA BEAN

Buffalo Sweat is back—with a little extra something.

This Tallgrass favorite takes the rich, smooth oatmeal cream stout you remember and adds real vanilla beans for an extra layer of creamy, roasty goodness. It’s familiar Buffalo Sweat, just a little more indulgent.

Buffalo Sweat Vanilla Bean is officially out in the wild. Grab a 6-pack, pour it into your favorite glass, and welcome stout season properly.

There was a time when American Pale Ale was craft b**r. Then IPA took off, tap lists got bigger, flavors got louder… and somehow, one of the styles that helped start the whole craft b**r revolution nearly got left behind.

So what happened?

Our latest article looks at how the APA went from revolutionary to almost overlooked—and why b**rs like Disco Biscuits and 8-Bit might prove it’s time for a comeback.

We’re still smiling about this nomination.

Being named a finalist for Best Brewery in the Best of Wichita is something we’re incredibly proud of, and it’s all because of the people who choose to spend time with us, share our b**r, and tell their friends about Walnut River Brewing.

If you haven’t had a chance to vote yet, there’s still time. We’d be honored to earn your support.

No matter the outcome, thank you for believing in what we do. We truly couldn’t do this without you.

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BEN! 🍻

Today we’re raising a glass to the guy behind a whole lot of what you see from Walnut River Brewing.

From chasing down photos and videos to dreaming up questionable ideas and somehow convincing the rest of us to participate in them, Ben helps tell the Walnut River story—and makes us look pretty stinking good while doing it.

So if you see him around today, wish him a Happy Birthday, buy him a b**r, and whatever you do, don’t ask him to take a picture of it. He’s off the clock. 😂

Happy Birthday, Ben! 🍺🎂

Summer’s not done with us yet. ☀️🍺

There are still warm evenings, ballgames, backyard hangs, and a few more sunsets worth squeezing out of the season. And Have More Fun Blonde Ale is built for exactly that.

Light, crisp, refreshing, and easy-drinking—because the last days of summer aren’t the time to overthink your b**r. They’re the time to enjoy one.

So stay out a little later. Catch one more sunset. Have More Fun.
