Beer in Omaha, NE

We should!

 

Update : 8404 N 30th is now out of BCBS.

Had a great fellow stop in today to inquire about it because he saw a post on Beer Advocate. Hello! Hi! That's me.

So just to keep anybody else from traveling all the way to 30th if you live farther west or south, we are officially out. I did however overhaul the mix-a-six, so at least it's competitive, if not slightly better than, some of the other Hy-Vees in the area.

When I arrived on staff all we had there was Redd's, Kinky, Smirnoff Ice, Bud Light, Beck's, and Corona. I've adjusted that to allow Lagunita's, Founder's, Stone, and Odell. It's been moving much more lately.

 

Getting some great things from GLP tomorrow including Dino Smores

 

I should be in after work around 5:30; hope it lasts!

 

That was me earlier today who inquired about the BCBS. I was in the neighborhood (the mormon trail center) with my family checking out the gingerbread house display, and thought just maybe I should inquire. It was worth the shot, and a pleasure to meet a fellow BA member. Thanks for the updates of what you have and don't have.

 

Rock on, brother!

 

Any ETA for GLP stuff today?

 

GLP (DinoSmores included) dropped Yesterday at Beertopia, fwiw

 

Buddy of mine picked up some BA Evil Twin too, I'm assuming that's gone by now though.

 

Still a few BA Biscotti left!

 

Any insight on beer deliveries with Friday being Christmas? Friday scheduled beer drops Thursday or Saturday? Really asking for an educated guess on Xhop Gold dropping...

 

Could I get a current crowler tap list from the Beertopia folks?

 

https://www.facebook.com/BeertopiaOmaha/?fref=ts

They post a picture of the current crowler list on Beertopia's facebook page on a rather regular basis. That is... Unless you're searching for the insanely current, up to this exact moment, list (which should still be the same). They're good about updating their followers with new arrivals and crowler taps. BrettHead could probably elaborate..?

 

The 'Topia crowler list from Facebook yesterday is still mostly accurate, only change is that Gose Gone Wild is gone and has been replaced with Goose Island Four Star Pils.

 

Thanks guys, I need to get back on Facebook! Anyone know if any Backwoods Bastard is still hanging around? I have 1 bottle left, but forgot how good it was!

 

Thanks for remembering me, Beertopia guys. My wife was mocking me for it, but that's good customer service especially since I haven't been in since Thanksgiving 2014. I'm now well stocked for a week in Omaha.

 

Cheers Nic! Thanks for stopping by.

 

Perhaps at some slow beer moving shops you could get lucky but long gone at tope. Great batch this year too!

@jwwhitney I'll be surprised if they send us bombers anytime soon. But it's inevitable so I wouldn't worry about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if we only got FL beer until they can bring all production back to IA in maybe 2017?? (pure speculation)

 

Thanks BrettHead!

 

If anyone LOVES Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale, 108th HyVee has four packs for $3.00 Cheers!

 

Did you talk about seeing them next Thanksgiving when you left? I was shopping in the store at the same time and actually wondered if that was you, although a customer 5 minutes later showed up wearing a Mariners hat and confusing the hell out of me.

 

My wife said the Thanksgiving thing. I was the guy with a beard and glasses wearing a Holy Mountain hoodie. Left my M's hat back home. Hawks gear on Sunday, though.

 

As a born and raised PNW native, I'd like to inform you guys that Wonder Twins is a seriously legit dank hoppy floral crazy IPA. Goddamn. Just had two pints at Omaha Tap House.

WOW.

 

Abyss at Beertopia this week?

 

Surprised to see 6 or so bottles of BA Old Rasputin XVII at Cubby's down town tonight.

 

I love deals! I'll be looking this up. Any chance you saw what kind of stock they had?

 

Granted it was Dec 23rd, but they had 25+ four packs, at least.

 

@BrettHead any word on The Abyss?

 

Nope, I'm sure we'll get tons of the regular like always though. Slated to get the variants too. Those I am guessing will be limited.

 

Happy New Year to all those good folks in Omaha! I hope to be seeing you soon...~Vinnie

 

Thanks Vinnie! Happy New Year to you as well! - Jason

 

Was in town last week from Chicago. Stopped by beertopia and ended up buying 6 assorted brews from crooked stave. Hop Savant now has me hooked on brett. Beertopia's great customer service had me at the register spending way more than I intended before I knew what hit me.

 

Yes, Yesssss come to the dark side.

Im still quite disappointed my wife wont let me name our son Brett.

 

Word is 2015 Abyss should start delivery to stores in Omaha today.

 

Didn't make the most recent truck. Hopefully will be on the next one.

 

Yeah, either Friday or next Tuesday for us. It's at Jbros

edit: Abyss "classic" that is.

 

Just got confirmation from Paul at Deschutes that Abyss will be going out later this week for sure. No word on the variants though.

 

My JBros connection told me that the variants will be later for sure. He wasn't sure when though.

 

Paul stopped in the store, rye and cognac should ship to IA next week and NE in two weeks. Not much to go around though.

 

Anybody know when we can start expecting to hear Omaha Beer Week details?
