What's so weak about the beers on tap at The Anchor???

Most bars that have almost 20 taps have "all the beers" such as miller lite, miller, bud, bud light, coors and then even coors light. That's a waste of taps. The Anchor has a bud light tap and it's hidden by a dismembered rubber chicken. Most the patrons that order that beer don't even know there's a chicken on their tap. The Rest of the taps are pretty cool:

Currently available on tap at The Anchor: Bud Light ha ha ha Warsteiner Dunkel Bass Harp Guinness Woodchuck Boddingtons John Courage McEwans Boulevard Wheat Boulevard Pale Ale Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Free State: Wheat, Oatmeal Stout, and Ad Astra Honey Brown Smithwicks (echhhh!!!!) Anchor Steam Newcastle Fat Tire

Which is a pretty good tap selection considering that Kansas doesn't offer much in available beers.

Thanks for reviewing a bar in Wichita, Kansas. I just wanted to speak up on the weak tap selection comment. Gotta defend this place...

"I love The Anchor!"

I was in Wichita for the Midwest Beerfest this weekend, and when my buddy Bob and I got into town, we hit River City Brewing. After lunch and a few beers, we asked the brewer what else was good in town, and he told us about this new bar that had just opened, the Anchor. We walked down, and it was balls-out cool: a 20-tap bar with about 200 bottles and a full-service espresso bar. I started out by firing up a triple espresso to counteract the previous hour's beers, then went to a Free State Ad Astra Ale, a quite nice beer that we couldn't quite peg as to style: somewhere in the intersection of brown ale, pale ale, red ale, and amber...and good. The bar, though, was cool. It was open about a week, and looked like it had been there for three or four years. Very high pressed-tin ceiling, a neat clear-coated coppertop bar, just rough enough, just neat enough, and some pretty cool folks behind the bar. Downchecks? Tap selection was a bit weak; they're getting that "Great" based largely on the bottles. But I suspect that this place is going to pick up some business that will push things a bit, judging from the comments I was hearing there and at the beerfest dinner last night. Good luck to them, this is going to be a cool spot.
