THIS WEEKEND
Bare Branch Heritage Brew Tour

With no peaches this year, we pivoted and are presenting to y’all #bloodorchardbrewingco ‘s first ever Bare Branch Heritage Brew Tour!

This will coincide with our August 1st, first Saturday of the month, #bloodorchardvintagemarket and #southsidefoodtruckrally – which is free to attend, and our vendors will still be bringing their peachiest goods for y’all!

The Bare Branch Heritage Brew Tour is however a ticketed event, and includes a nostalgic trailer ride to 5 stops throughout our Orchard with a pour of an Orchard crafted brew at each stop in a collectible glass pint, a historical discussion of each of the five generations, and T-shirt commemorating the event! We are so looking forward to having y’all here with us to celebrate the 155th anniversary of our family homesteading the ground we live and work on, and hope to see y’all next Saturday, August 1st!

DINING
Fert’s Taco Tour

Want to discover your new favorite taco in town? Come join Fert the Foodie as he guides you through some of Wichita’s best tacos. You will hit up taco joint after taco joint while trying a couple tacos at each place.

They will be starting on the south side for the first leg of the tour, and then head to the north side for the second leg. You don’t have to follow the same route, you can do just the south side or just the north side, or you can go in whatever order you like. There are no rules to this event, it’s just a way to open people up to some of his favorite taco vendors in town. Make sure to bring cash since some places will be cash only!
