My regret here is that I didn't buy a crowler of theirs (afraid I didn't have enough space,) well one more regret was that I didn't drink here more. This was one of two places I went to twice in Wichita and for good reason, they had a terrific sour beer that I got each time I went. Our first visit was on a weekday where it was quiet. The second visit was on a Saturday when it was incredibly packed and we had to share a table. Both times the visits were great for different reasons. The first was more laid back so it was easy to be able to chill out and really savor the beer and we got a recommendation from the bartender on our way out. The second time was fun and lively we were looking for a spot to sit and the bartender was about to wipe a table down when two folks sitting at a longer table offered to share it with us. We ended up chatting with them for a bit-gotta love Midwesterners. Staff also set up their emulator for us on one of their big tvs and it felt like a clubhouse, with beer. I usually don't get into specifics of beer too much here but their strawberry rhubarb sour was good, a little tart, a little sweet just delicious. Definitely bring that back or make it permanent.
My favorite brewery in Wichita. Great beer selection, great crowd and staff. Highly recommend giving the salty or the sour a try.
Great beers! Had the pineapple seltzer. Would have again in a heartbeat. Will be back and keep supporting this great Brewery.
I stopped by here yesterday with my wife for some afternoon drinks. We decided to go to Hopping Gnome Brewing based entirely on the name due to the fact that my wife likes gnomes. We arrived to the brewery shortly after 1 PM to find it mostly empty. There is a bar in the front of this place and then seating throughout the rest. In the back are windows where you can see the fermenters and other Brewing equipment. Beyond that the place is decorated with some artwork that is for sale, Edison bulbs and string lights as well as a popcorn machine. As I often do whenever I visit new breweries, I decided to have a sampler here. At hopping gnome that consists of 6 of their regular brews although you can sub in a seasonal too if you want which I did. So for me it was the Douglas Ave pale ale, the earl of ESB, sepia amber ale, ICT IPA, HBIC Peach Sour (in place of the Steampunk Saison) and finally the design district coffee stout. Out of the bunch I think that the peach sour and the IPA were my favorites. All of them were pretty good though and did a good job representing their respective types. While drinking the beer my wife and I were also able to play Yahtzee which was nice and there were other board games there as well. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Our bartender was friendly and the beers were good too!
Simply put, an outstanding local brewery. I tried the Wicked Crossover Wheat IPA, the ICT IPA, and Steampunk Saison- they were all delicious! It's not a huge place but it's got a really cool atmosphere. On Tuesday the beers are $1 off and according to the bartender the occasionally have live music. They don't have food but they do have complimentary popcorn. The bacon cheddar was the bomb! If you're into craft beer give these folks a try.
Some people only write reviews when they are upset about something. About the only time I will take time out of my busy schedule to post something on a public forum is when I find something worth sharing. Such is the case with Hopping Gnome. It is a small, local brewery, and I almost don't want to post this because if it starts getting busier and I can't get a bar seat I'm going to be ticked. All they really serve is beer, and quite frankly that's all they need. Why mess with perfection? They have free popcorn and water, and there is a pizza joint right next door that you can order from and have delivered to you. It's basically what I imagine heaven will be like, but hopefully without the rapid weight gain. Now for the beer. It's good. Just get a flight, start at the top and work your way down. If Mandy is working, she will likely make fun of you for something. Don't get offended, it's part of her charm. Just sit there, take it, and order another beer. About the only thing I don't care for is the sour stuff, but others that like such things say it's really good. They have great stouts, IPAs, reds ales, etc. They rotate quite frequently, but the ESB is a solid choice year round. Just don't tell Mandy the ESB taste metallic. That's actually probably why she makes fun of me in hind sight. Also, the owners are really cool. If you stop by, ask what the HBIC beer stands for, then take a large drink of beer while the owner's wife tells you. I had to change my shirt that night. Good times.
We enjoyed our visit. There are 3 tables outside, so we each got a beer and ordered a crowler to go. I got the coffee stout and it was quite good. My partner got the saison and it was very tasty. If I hadn't been driving, I probably would have gotten the saison... I'm definitely coming back when I'm in town.
Last time we were in town, we got a recommendation from our server at River City Brewing to come and try Hopping Gnome. I love gnomes and my husband loves beer so it was a match made in heaven. :) We stopped in this afternoon for a growler of their saison. The staff was great to talk to and offered samples. It's not a restaurant so we got our growler and headed out. It's in a cool neighborhood and I could see us being regulars if we lived in Wichita.
Hopping Gnome is a great Brewery! I was visiting Wichita for a couple of days, and decided to stop into Hopping Gnome to try out the local beer. The staff is friendly, the space is relaxed and cool, and the beer is fantastic. I personally enjoyed the Steampunk Saison and HBIC Sour. I even purchased a glass to take back to Chicago with me to commemorate the great experience! If I find myself in Wichita again, I will definitely stop by Hopping Gnome for some more awesome beer.
Stopped by Hopping Gnome Brewing Company and really enjoyed the experience. We tried one of their local brews, grabbed some popcorn, and relaxed in the open, welcoming space. They have plenty of indoor seating plus a large patio that's perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying a casual date night. Great atmosphere and a fun local spot to check out in Wichita! read more

I loved this place for not only the quality craft beer, but also the atmosphere! It's hard to find places in Wichita that actually put thought into the look and feel of their establishments, but I can tell they did at the Hopping Gnome. I know this is probably trivial to most people, but since it's important to me I figure it's worth a mention! I loved the 'Christmas tree' light strands across the ceiling, the cute gnomes above the door, the eclectic furniture, and purposely exposed walls. It made the atmosphere feel interesting and even cozy in a way. As for the beer, I tried the ESB. I'm no connoisseur, but it was good! I would recommend it. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other offerings. read more

Awesome place to come chill for an afternoon. I fell in love with the Smores Winter Wheat, he liked the bitterness/flavors of the Design District Coffee Stout. Bring your dog inside or out. Free tasty popcorn to help soak up the flight! read more

The Hopping Gnome is an excellent brewery in the heart of Wichita, Kansas If the English Ale were in bottles and on sale throughout the US, I'd buy and drink it daily. As a Californian, Red Trolley Ale is my go to beer, I'd drop it in a heartbeat for the Hopping Gnome. A single heartbeat... Torrey is an excellent brewer. I'm not an IPA guy, I don't believe in ruining your taste buds with bitterness, the Gnome's IPA isn't like that. I'd drink it over mist beers. All of the beers are amazing, the Gnome knows its customer base. They should continue to grow and hopefully be featured in every restaurant in Wichita and the nation. If you're in Wichita and like great beer, the Gnome is the place to be. It's not a pun to say it's hopping! Busy every night and with good reason! I hope to see it in bottles my way soon. read more
