TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The thirst for Kansas-produced alcoholic beverages is growing, with wineries multiplying and the state’s largest craft brewer experiencing a revenue boost of about 50 percent.

The Topeka Capital-Journal  reports Tallgrass Brewery’s revenue growth comes after a 60,000-square-foot call center in Manhattan was converted into a new brewery. Tallgrass founder Jeff Gill says the brewery is producing more than twice as much as it did in its former facility and eventually will produce even more.

Much of Tallgrass’ beer is distributed in other states with more developed markets for craft beer, but he says interest is growing in Kansas.

Highland Community College winery expert Scott Kohl said that in 2010 there were about a dozen wineries in Kansas, and now there are about 35.
