Scratchtown Brewing Company

I nice little spot, with fantastic beer! Everything I've had there in the few times I've visited was great. Black Eye, and Wonder Twins stands out however. Two fantastic beers!

This is one of our go-to's when we are in the sandhills. Great owners and really great beers. Worth the stop.

 

Middle of nowhere Nebraska. Delicious brews served by extremely kind people that went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of and even got an impromptu tour. I think about 6-8 beers on tap including a tasty peanut butter porter. The recently did a special BA release of bottles that were around to purchase. Haven't tried them yet, but should be good based on the quality of what was on tap. No food was available, but they did allow food to be brought in/delivered from local restaurants. Overall, a really good experience.

 

This was a welcome surprise up in Ord, a scenic area of Nebraska on the eastern edge of the Sandhill Country. Tasted a flight where I found beers to be quite good... they seemed to excel more at the maltier types of beers like the stouts and even some Belgians. Taproom was nice, modern, and clean... not congested. If you're ever in the Order area, I recommend a stop.

 

I love this place! From the moment I walked in the door it felt like a brewery/tap room should feel. I was pleasantly suprised at the diversity in the lineup of beers. Although a RIS would have been great;)
While this place is out state Nebraska, it is worth the trek. They do not do food, but have menus for several local places and you can have the food delivered or brought in. They do growlers, and the prices are good. I think there were 6-7 beers on tap. A saison, a blonde, a brown (which was really good), a breakfast stout (4.5%), a milk stout and two others that I cannot recall. I tried all but the blonde, and they were all very good!
The decor was authentic, genuine, and very very fun.
The brewers and owners were on site and are very knowledgeable, conscientious, and fun!
Was family friendly, like most breweries. Not sure about dogs though. Cats, I'd check with the owners ;)
Definitely plan on stopping by!!

 

A hidden gem in central Nebraska, Scratchtown is a must stop for anyone in the area. Beautiful tap room, one of the best designs I have seen for a brewery - regardless of size. 2 TVs make this a great place to watch a game, and a spacious beer garden with fire pit helps create a year round destination. The day of my visit there were 4 beers on tap instead of the usual 6, which to me speaks more to the popularity of the brew and not a lack of variety. Several beers were getting set to be re-released in the following weeks, along with a few new beers as well. The brewing facility makes great use of space, with room to grow onsite for expansion & distribution. No food onsite, but customers are welcome to order & carry in food from several nearby establishments. The owners do a great job of catering to both the local crowd as well as the out of town visitors. They are passionate about their business & it shows during the tour as well as in the quality of their product. I expect Scratchtown to be a big player on the regional craft beer scene for many years to come.
