Beer of the Kaw is a beer tasting of the breweries in the Kansas River watershed, which is 61,000 square miles! We use beer and water to educate about the watershed. Come join us to learn a little, taste a little beer, and support our work for the Kansas River! Tickets include:
- $40 general admission includes entrance to the event, a beer tasting glass and access to all of the beer brewers for tasting. You get a “beer bingo” card and if you fill up the card (by visiting all of the brewers, but you don’t have to drink it all), then you get added into a drawing for tons of door prizes at the end of the night.
- $75 VIP admission includes same as above PLUS tables with seating in the Pub Room at Abe & Jake’s Landing, beer flights delivered to the room, heavy appetizers, and a beer discussion with a brewer.
- There are food vendors on site, (Terrebonne and JB’s Tacos) but the cost for food is not included in the ticket price.
- There is an outdoor patio to get fresh air and watch the Kansas River.
- We will also have many sponsors to visit and a silent auction.
- Football will be on the big screen.
We hope to see you there!
