One of my friends will be in Omaha this week and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good bottle shop and has some recommendations of what to pick up. I have no idea what beers are on the shelf there so a little help would be appreciated. Thanks guys, Bruce
Goose Island Madam Rose is hitting stores....specifically the Stonybrook Hy-Vee. Based on seek a brew, look for Odell and Nebraska Brewing Company...not sure but they may still have some "responsibly" although that's a stretch. Unfortunately, our distribution is pretty similar. If he heads across the river into Iowa (15 minute drive) they have Bells and Founders, which it looks like isn't in Texas.
As of the last newsletter I read sometime last week they still had Responsibly (Cognac Aged Quad sold only at the brew pub in 22oz's for $12)

Growlers can be found at: Nebraska Brewing Company, Upstream, Lucky Bucket Lucky Bucket 6pks in most stores. Avoid the Upstream Reserve Series unless you are good with uncarbonated beer.
Thanks guys, don't know what the guys at the bottle shop picked out but feel like a little kid getting a present. I have never seen a bottle shop that ships out your package for you, so cool.
