Former Hays Kansas brewery liquidation auction lists full brewhouse, canning line

McCurdy Real Estate & Auction has listed assets from a former Hays, Kansas brewery in an online-only liquidation titled "Hays, KS Former Brewery Liquidation Online Auction" for the property at 2050 E. US Highway 40, Hays, KS 67601. The auction catalog, syndicated through AllAuctionSales, states, "Bidding opens on March 10th at 12:00pm CT" and "Bidding begins to close on March 19th at 12:00pm CT."

The auction listing markets the sale as a broad package: "Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to bid on a complete large-scale brewery operation!" The syndicated copy describes the sale as, "This is an online-only auction featuring high-quality commercial brewing equipment from a prominent Hays, Kansas brewery," and it adds that, "All equipment has been well maintained, drained, cleaned and is ready for disassembly and relocation." The AllAuctionSales text urges prospective bidders to view photos by clicking the platform's Bid Now link, but the itemized lot catalog and model-level details are not included in the syndicated excerpt.

Public inspection and logistics are scheduled around the online bidding window. The listing shows a public preview on March 17 from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm CT and buyer pickup on March 20 from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm CT. The auction is presented as online-only, and KansasAuctions.net echoes the March 19, 12:00 pm CT close time, listing the McCurdy sale under "Former Brewery Liquidation Auction" with a "Bid Now!" call to action.

A close-timing discrepancy appears on the AllAuctionSales page, which also displays an "End: Mar 23, 2026 06:00 PM CDT" line that likely pertains to a different consignment auction on the same aggregator page. Because multiple listings and UI snippets share space on the aggregator, McCurdy's March 10 open and March 19 begin-to-close schedule should be treated as the primary timetable; the listing itself carries AllAuctionSales' site disclaimer that users are "strongly encouraged to verify all information directly with the auctioneer."

McCurdy Real Estate & Auction lists Megan McCurdy Niedens as the contact for this sale, (316) 867-3600 and mmccurdy@mccurdy.com. The auction notes and the user-supplied story headline reference a "full brewhouse and canning line," but the syndicated copy does not enumerate specific vessels, canning line make or model, fermenter counts, or serial numbers. Before bidding, request the official McCurdy lot catalog and condition reports to confirm the presence and specifications of a full brewhouse and canning line, to obtain buyer's premium and payment terms, and to learn rigging and removal rules. The listing frames the sale toward buyers looking to expand or start a brewery, but the definitive lot list and final close time should be confirmed directly with Megan McCurdy Niedens.
