    Perhaps but he has been doing it since before any price increase. Plus if they charged $14 (I believe that's what I heard or was it $13?) and cost $10 that is still more than the normal margin they have on beer.

    I'm guessing we will, haven't heard anything from Jbros or Bell's. Haven't asked though either :-)

    I believe that is one of the one's Matt (Good Life) mentioned. January I think was what he said.

    That Espresso Stout by Zipline is pretty tasty... plus its like $6.99 for a bomber @ 8.5% ABV. Its a steal for a very good beer in my opinion.

    Excited for new Zipline and Brickway locations in NoDo

    Interesting, I haven't heard about Brickway moving into NoDo, where are they going?

    Completely moving or a satellite location? If satellite then that makes no sense to me but I don't know their (brickway) business. /me shrugs

    The person who told me this made it seem like it will be a satellite. I guess they need more space.

    I've been kind of disappointed in Brickway lately tbh. I got a growler of their imperial stout and it was frankly awful. Started turning to molasses as it warmed up and was overly sweet. I had a weird stomach ache after like 2 pints and ended up pouring the rest down the drain.

    I will say though, that Maple Pecan Brown is surprisingly solid, as that isnt something I would normally expect myself to be into. Honestly I wish they would quit trying to do the hard liquor thing and just focus on their beer, as I know they're capable of turning out really good products

    When Slowdown and the Hotels were first built, its been a few years now, the developers and the Omaha World Herald tired to get everyone to call that part of town NoDo. They thought a flashy name would help draw attention to the area which would lead to more developers.

    The name didn't really catch on so I am not surprised you hadn't heard it called that before.

    I have not had the MPB but it doesn't sound up my alley. I could do without all of them except Pils on draft myself. Hard liquor is the owner's real passion. I think of the beer as something they can sell now while waiting on whiskey etc. to mature.

    I should say if they are moving the brewery to expand production but then plan on keeping the original taproom that makes sense to me. I was picturing a satellite taproom and that's all.
