Manhattan Brewing Company expands to Wichita, opening this month

MANHATTAN ( KSNT ) – A brewing company in the Manhattan area is expanding across the Sunflower State.

Manhattan Brewing Company announced on X , formerly known as Twitter, it is opening up a permanent location in Wichita. The new brewery will take up residence at a brick and mortar location, near the Arkansas River, 117 N. Handley Street.

Manhattan Brewing Company Co-owner Jake Voegeli told 27 News his brother bought the building, which used to be an old brewery. The business had several pop-up’s at that location, and after seeing success, decide to make it permanent.

“We had done three pop-ups right before, and then after the third pop-up that basically the day after, we’re like, ‘Yeah, we should definitely do this more permanently’,” Voegeli said. “We got together, we talked it out, and worked out an agreement and here we are.”

Even though the brewery is expanding to a town with a university, Voegeli said its staying true to its purple roots.
