Wichita’s chapter of the American Institute of Wine and Food is proud to bring you the 15th annual Midwest Beerfest Grand Tasting & Silent Auction!

What event allows you to taste an amazing selection of craft beers from around the world including an outstanding selection of microbrews from Kansas, vote for your favorite chicken wing and bid on Silent Auction items to benefit a Kansas organization that supports local children in need — all while taking a “sip for a scholarship?” It’s Midwest Beerfest!

New start time: Join fellow brew-lovers and increase your beer knowledge from 4-7p.m., Saturday, Oct.3, at EXPO Hall for a “big brew” adventure and help celebrate our 15th year of outstanding beers, delicious food and lots of fun, fun, fun.

Back by popular demand is the “Midwest Wingfest,” a chicken wing Cook-off contest featuring chicken wings prepared by local restaurants and chefs. Admission to the tasting is $6 (with your admission to the Beerfest) and all proceeds benefit a local children’s charity. Your ticket entitles you to sample a number of different wings and vote for your “People’s Choice.”

Also, new this year is a Food Truck Round-up located at the south end of the building. You will have the opportunity to purchase food from some of your favorite food trucks with your Beerfest admission.

Beerfest Grand Tasting tickets can be purchased via Century II’s WichitaTix box office – by calling (316) 303.8100 or online at www.wichitatix.com.

Tickets for the Grand Tasting & Silent Auction are $40 (inclusive of convenience fee) plus the optional Midwest Wingfest ticket for $6. Tickets for Designated Driver entry are $15.
