ExBEERiment Brewing — Restaurant in Gardner

If you're anywhere near Gardner, KS and don't swing by ExBEERiment Brewing, you're missing a top-shelf pour of good times. This place is where science meets hops and hops meet hospitality. James—the owner and chief beer genius—brews like he’s got a chemistry degree and a PhD in making people feel welcome. His creations pull double duty: themed around the periodic table and his Army background, so you’re guaranteed a brew that’s both stable and explosive in flavor.

The taproom has the perfect mix of chill and cheer. Indoors or out, there's plenty of space to sit, sip, and laugh. Not into beer? No problem. They’ve got mixed drinks, wine, and even “meds” (non-alcoholic options) for the designated drivers or beer-shy friends. Snacks are available, but you're also encouraged to bring in food—Domino's, Planet Sub, and a nearby Mexican spot make that a no-brainer.

Game nights, bingo, and trivia keep the good times flowing—because what pairs better with a pint than poorly remembering 90s song lyrics? Come say hey to James, John, or Ashley. They're more than staff—they’re the type who'll hand you a beer and ask how your day’s been. It's not just a brewery, it's a second home with better...

Was excited to try this place! I have a few friends that go here often and was looking forward to it!! I took a friend here for her birthday to get a couple drinks before dinner. Told the guy we've never been here. He told us nothing about the place, the beers, so we had no idea what to get. Very cold, not friendly. He seemed really nice to the regulars but if your not one you won't feel welcomed at all. Would not recommend I guess unless your a regular. Extremely disappointed. We would have gotten more drinks as well if it was a better experience. We left and she said well I'll never go there again. Felt the same. ...

Fantastic craft brewery! They have a wide variety of beers on tap and they do flights so you can try them all. I’ve tried everything on tap and they’re all really good. Atmosphere is chill and relaxed. They have a selection of fun board games to play while you drink and you can bring in food or have it delivered. So happy to have a craft brewery of this caliber in town. Definitely worth checking out if you enjoy Kansas...
