Beer in Omaha, NE

I have seen a few places starting to setup events on Facebook already. I know we will be having tastings everyday and a cellar sale on Wednesday.

 

Also a thousand bars will be tapping their kegs of BCBS over the course of the week.

 

Can't wait for those good Mardi Gras events during OBW. Nothing to celebrate craft beer like cheap Abita pints!

 

Hopefully the Moon does the Barrel Age Beer night again....that was one of my favorite events.

 

IN for cognac BA Abyss. Are these 100% BA or just blends?

 

100% is the word

 

Thankfully Fat Tuesday does not fall during OBW

 

They will, although so far the beers are shaping up to be less interesting than last year

 

I shouldn't get my hopes up for any TG kegs during OBW, right? Figured it was a very long shot.

 

THIS....Really hoping to see kegs at Extreme Beer Fest at the least......hoping being the key word. Would love to try some of the beers that usually require long trips to Decorah.

 

Really excited for Extreme Beerfest this year with the recent distro we're getting. Probably a long shot, but also hoping Kinkaider and Scratchtown bring in some of their BA stuff.

 

Way wrong Extreme Beer Fest. I got roped into that link and my extreme joy as to the breweries listed was short lived. But Toppling Goliath is slated to attend Omaha's Extreme Beer Fest, so I wonder if they will pull out of that too for the same reasons.

 

BUT, if TG doesn't pull out of Omaha EBF, what are the chances they bring some King Sue or something new/special (gasp, MD ). Have they ever attended before, and if so anyone remember what they brought?

*EDIT* Should have read a few posts before mine guys asking the same questions on TG Kegs. Ignore Me.

 

Oops, sorry everyone.

 

TG has attended the past 3 years. They did bring a few bottles of MD in 2012 (along with other beers) and Sosus/Zeelander in 2013; as far as I'm aware/remember, last year they brought Sue, Golden Nugget, Dorothy's, and maybe Rover Truck. It'd be fun, but I wouldn't anticipate anything too crazy.

 

TG brought a keg of SR-71 to extreme one year.

 

Was a growler of SR-71 IIRC and that was before SR-71 was used to describe extended BA assassin. It was an unbarreled beer according to Clark. @tgchief

 

I think your are right! it was growlers! did Naughty Temple come once in bottles?

 

What was total number of VIP tickets for this year? Does anyone post what beers available before?

 

I believe 200 tickets. They sold out in 20 minutes or so. The beer list usually isn't finalized until a week or two before the fest.
