Nebraska Brewing Company

Taproom is at the front of the building, with the larger production facility at the back. The entire space is iIn one of the structures constructed of prefab concrete vertical walls. Other businesses are on either side of the brewery. Taproom has two rooms, one with the bar and taps and the other more of an event space with community tables and a massive projection TV screen. The room with the bar also has a number of low and high tables with chairs. High black ceiling, gray painted walls, and a brown concrete floor. Windows only at the front, facing the shared parking lot. Back windows allow a view of the brewing equipment. Pinball machines along one wall. Several TVs showing sports. Good sound system. Thirty or more brews on tap, all displayed on video screens above the bar. Coolers have cans and bottles to go. Friendly staff. Industrial feel to the place, with wooden barrels used as accent decor.

 

My wife and I were in town, nearby to this taproom, so I swung by. I almost didn't go in, as it didn't look like a place for customers. It was in an industrial complex, with little parking, and didn't look terribly inhabited. That did change by the time we left, however.

I was wrong though. Inside was a nice big taproom with a lot of beer selections. And the production brewery, which made more sense for the location. They also have a party room off to the side, which was in use, so I couldn't see it very well.

There were just a few people in the taproom, but we got our flights and helped ourselves to the board games. And arcade games, all on the house. We had 10 different beers and they were all pretty good, really. I'm a hophead and my wife not, and they had beers for both of us. Their bourbon barrel stout was phenomenal.

I learned why you don't judge a book by it's cover. I'd recommend checking this place out if you're in the area and like a nice laid-back type of tap room.

Stopped in at Nebraska Brewing in La Vista. Awesome selection of beers, and if you liked it they had bottles to go (I bought 8 bombers). Very friendly customers. Lots of tables, lots of stools at the bar. Food was ok, but I did not come for the food. Service could be improved.

loved it here, such a working brewery vibe compared to the other place, which was a little sterile, and while this seems all new and nice, its got a little more character, dim lighting, a more surly crowd, and an equally impressive lineup of draft and bottled offerings. all the beer these guys make is great, underrated across the board in my opinion, especially the barrel aged stuff, they have an awfully impressive program going with cool beers in brandy and chardonnay and bourbon barrels and more. the brewery is pretty big there in the back, and the taproom is small, they can definitely produce some volume at this spot. everyone here was awesome, the servers were super friendly, but seemingly young, college aged kids, not well schooled in the beers at all, but very friendly and well mannered. i liked the coffee and vanilla fathead barleywines here, but all the beer was good. i think it is only a matter of time before these guys get a loyal following going outside of nebraska, they really do make some awesome beers. if you are going to visit one of their two spots, i would say this is the one...
