Kansas Beer? YES!

I was traveling through Kansas recently on my way back from going to Oklahoma to drop my son off at the U of Oklahoma in Norman---and what should I find, a brewery or two.  I know you are amazed that I would stop at such a place!  We stopped at River City Brewing in Wichita KS, very friendly--had an awesome red beer by the name of Rock Island Red...it was well balanced.  I prefer reds that have some hops and are not just malty...this brew had it all.  I talked to the brewmaster Dan and he said they have some really cool imaginative brew coming up weekly!  Now there is an inspired guy!  You rock Dan...I really love the idea of using Bulleit Borboun infused cherries in a beer, that was last thursday I missed it.  Bummer....
Please give them a shot if you are ever in Wichita...

Here is a great article---a bit long but very good about the struggles of trying to bring quality beer to you...

The brew in cans shown is Halcyon Wheat from Tall Grass Brewing in Manhattan KS.
I thought this was a fine summer beer---had a little sweet to it and great unfiltered wheat color--very enjoyable.
