Hank is Wiser Brewery is a small family owned and operated brewpub located in the middle of downtown Cheney, Kansas. Â The first house brewed beer was served on April 1, 2005 at their grand opening, just mere hours after Hank Sanford retired from a 22 year sales career in Wichita. Â It was 35 years earlier that Hank had purchased his first beer sign. Â Collecting brewery advertising, visiting over 400 breweries across the country, homebrewing for the last 15 years, and of course tasting well over 5000 different beers all lead to the dream and finally the reality of opening Hank is Wiser Brewery.Â
