Tickets entitle participants to a tasting mug, program guide and a key to the world of beers. Also look for non-beer drinks, an array of beer-friendly food, a brew-lover’s Silent Auction with the opportunity to win lots of great prizes, and music. The Silent Auction is a benefit for Prairie Travelers/Andover Augusta Rail Trail Initiative (AARTI.) Back by popular demand is the “MidwestWingfest,” 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 will help Wichita, Andover and Augusta expand bike paths and trails. Your ticket entitles you to sample a number of different wings and vote for your “People’s Choice.” After great success last year The Food Truck Round-up will once again be 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. http://www.midwestbeerfest.com/
