In their recent article, “This Is The ONE Thing You Must Do In Each US State“, Huffington Post said to “Sample the No. 6 Oatmeal Stout at Gella’s Diner & Lb. Brewing Company” for the state of Kansas.

“We are thrilled to represent Kansas and look forward to toasting travelers with pints of Oatmeal Stout,” said brew master Gerald Wyman.

The article also talks about the story of how Gella’s came about.

“One day, Gerald Wyman’s wife told him to please stop brewing beer in their kitchen. A few years later, Wyman had a charming-yet-modern storefront and a Gold World Beer Cup Award for his Oatmeal Stout.”

Since its inception in 2005, the diner and brewery has a history of continued excellence at the Great American Beer Festival, which takes place in Denver each summer. Just four months after it opened, Gella’s had picked up the first of nine GABF gold medals for Lb’s No. 50 Liberty Stout. In 2010, the Oatmeal Stout earned a Gold World Beer Cup Award, and, in 2013, the brewery was named Small Brewpub and Small Brewpub Brewer of the Year, the first Kansas brewery to receive the honor.
