Kros Strain Brewing

 

Larger unit in a neighborhood of light industrial businesses. Shared parking lot out front. Windows at the front let in natural light. At the back windows allow a view of the brewing equipment. High sheet metal ceiling with hanging sound panels. Gray concrete floor. Walls are painted rust, beige, and a colorful mosaic pattern. L-shaped bar, low and high tables with chairs, some of which swivel and have a foot rest ring. Two event rooms, one on each side of the main room. Front outdoor patio, with firepits. About 24 taps, with a good selection of styles. Can get sampler or full pours. Attentive and friendly staff. Coolers offer a wide range of cans to go. Lively spot, but laid back too, and one can pick out a spot for comfort.

 

Stopped by to pick up some cans of BA Barleywines, found a good selection, wish I had bought more. Real nice place, staff were great, wish I had time to have a beer there. There was a moderate crown on a Saturday afternoon. I'll definitely make it a regular stop when in the area.

I stopped in at Kros Strain while visiting the Omaha area a few weeks back. When I visited, they had 17 beers on tap plus many in cans and bottles to go, with a wide variety from excellent IPAs to lagers to sours. I tried about 7 different beers while I was there, and really, they were all very good indeed.

Taproom is at the edge of Omaha with a clean and industrial yet homey feel; there's a nice wood bar and a convivial atmosphere. Service is okay; knowledgeable for sure if not super chatty or friendly. Still, this was definitely my favorite place in the Omaha area. Absolutely recommended.

Trendy new industrial chic brewery with 30 foot ceiling giving the place a cavernous feel. Small L-shaped bar in right corner of tasting room seats about a dozen, with additional wire spool tables about the room and a nice sized sidewalk seating area with gas fire pits. There is also an adjacent community game room. 20 well-assorted beers on tap, I had the Sippin' on Some Citra, a very nice pale ale. Friendly service. Great place to wile away a Sunday afternoon.

Outdoor and indoor seating at this busy place (weekend afternoon). The inside is nouveau industrial and a little dark, with a single serving bar that has a couple handfuls of seats. High tops are larger than most places and can easily sit six. Outdoor seating was fairly plentiful.

Business slowed service a bit while we were there, aided by a swath of flights being ordered. This was perhaps influenced by the size of their selection, with about 20 or so beers on tap. Most beers tended to be lighter or IPAs. There were some interesting offerings, and the quality was pretty good even if the beers didn’t all work to my liking.

Not sure if the place is always so busy, but it would dissuade me a tad if so. I’d definitely come back to find out.

 

Good brewery with great craft beers! Environment is very friendly and very clean. They have big tables for larger parties and a lot of side games to play with friends and family, just grab and go and bring it back when you're done. They also have large clear windows to look into the brewery on the back wall by the bar. Outdoor patio with seating and a fire pit. If you like IPA's and sours this is the best place in Nebraska to get them. Alot of good 1 off beers coming out of this place aswell. By far my favorite brewery in the state.

 

 

This has become one of my favorite Omaha breweries. They do some great one-off beers, and their regulars like Fairy Nector and Helles Creek are solid. Tap room could use a little more lighting, and the location isn’t perfect.
