In recent years, the craft beer community has seen a surge of growth throughout the city, especially downtown. Unlike other cities, the brewmasters of Wichita do something rare.
With a huge demand, and new found interest in sours, IPAs, lagers, and more; a coalition of brewmasters has emerged in the ICT. Unlike other cities, the brewmasters of Wichita do something rare in this type of industry.
They work together to continually support and promote one another. One specific individual coming to mind when thinking of all things related to community support in combination with brewing, is BJ Hunt.
As Partner of Walnut River Brewing and the PourHouse, BJ not only has great pride for the area; but, he also deeply cares about the relationship he has with his brewery counterparts.

As a proud resident since the age of two, and now as a restaurant owner, BJ wants nothing more than to prompt the growth of Wichita. Be sure to check out his restaurant by Union Station where he serves great food and of course, has a fabulous selection of craft beer. Wichita is most definitely home to me. How long ago did you move here Since What do you do? Namely, what is something people recognize you for? I'm the partner who does most of the public events. All 3 of us do our share of large beer events but there are many smaller events that are just as awesome, you'll typically find me there.
