Beer in Omaha, NE

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.

 

Pretty Please!

 

I don't know anything for sure but yes I'm guessing we will get them :-) Very excited too!

 

omaha getting any of the second black note drop? Just saw CB hy-vee got 24 bottles but they are sold out now.

 

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

 

Anyone know if Omaha will see Vanilla Noir distribution?

 

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

 

Good to know. Thanks BH

 

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

 

Also if anyone cares, we currently have Lizard of Koz on tap at The Session Room, 1502 Mike Fahey St.

 

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

 

Retail spaces under the new apartments across from like Blueline and Urban

 

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

 

im 30 years old and have lived in omaha all my life, and have never heard anyone call north downtown NoDo

 

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.

 

its not something I would say irl, I just used it as an abbreviation

That being said, this community is really on the come up and its going really be thriving by the end of 2017

 

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.

 

My thoughts exactly. Their aged whiskey, gin and bourbon are all very good but, other than Pils and Epic Blackout Stout the beers have been pretty meh imo.

 

I'm a big gin guy, but i found theirs to be pretty retched. I really love the idea of using hops in gin though, I hope they can tweak that recipe and figure it out. I've yet to be impressed by any of their hard stuff, but maybe I'll have to give them another go.

Their vodka is more like tequila than vodka

 

I dont like anything about Brickway, beer, liquor or customer service. I was in the taproom a while back on a Saturday early afternoon, there were probably 4 total customers. I sat at the bar for about 10-15 minutes prior to any employee saying one word to me. 2-3 employees walked back and forth talked to each other and sampling different things pulled from the back room. It was really unbelievable, to be honest. Finally I was asked if I needed something.... hmmmm, no ill just sit at a brewery and watch you talk to your friends. Maybe it was a one off experience, but it soured me to their whole operation.

 

eh, i've had service issues there too. Granted, not as bad as this. But this is a recurring problem I've heard from several people

 

New low for MotB...A King Sue auction ffs.

 

Stay classy, Counciltucky. I heard about that on another message board and had to come over and see how you guys were responding to it.

Is that legal?

 

^Hopefully you got to read the comments before they deleted it. That post ended up being one of the more entertaining FB posts in a while.

 

I did not. I'm sure it was a great read.

 

That post was gold, too bad they pulled it. I guess the employees will get to buy some bottles after all...

 

I went this morning at 9 to get a few bottles of Light Speed, I was told Wednesday that they might be "getting something else too". I was hoping they were hinting at King Sue so I asked about it and got one from behind the counter. I then drove as fast as I could to Broadway and got one off their counter. The auction this is completely rediculous. If they didn't want to just put it out and sell it maybe have a lottery for regular customers?

 

Who's been to the new Thunderhead Taproom in Omaha? If so, how is it? All Thunderhead beers or do they have guest taps?

 

Haven't been but I know they had darkness on recently (yesterday I think)

 

They have a couple guest taps, pretty nice environment. It is definitely a place you should check out, as it is a good environment and has pretty good beer, especially for its location within Omaha.

 

I popped in tonight, cool little place. Going to be great in nice weather with that sweet outdoor space. BH yep they had Darkness on, along with Christmas Bomb and Americana as guests. I'll go again for sure.

 

Any word on when The Abyss will hit stores?

 

Beertopia had '14, '15, & '16 today. Didn't see any variants.

They're also killing it with crawlers. Got Prairie Paradise yesterday (gone now) and Darkness today.

 

One case of Brandy Abyss came in Friday (not on the Jbros truck but dropped off later by our Jbros rep) and that is all. Sold out extra quick as Friday was super busy (around 2.5x-3x the sales of a typical Friday)

 

Michigan Maple Jesus came in today

 

...And it's been selling fast ! Limit of 2, only a dozen or so left folks!

 

I snagged one of those MMJs. ISO eggs and bacon. Anyone see bombers of TG in CB since the infamous King Sue drop?
