Can you beer me now?

We are heading to Omaha tomorrow to check out a new brewpub, Gold Medal Tap.  This is part of the Rock Bottom Brewery out of Colorado, so it can’t make the list, but Nebraska does have a great bunch of local brewpubs.  Criteria for this list is the establishment has to serve food and original microbrew.

Top 5 Nebraska Brewpubs

Dustin’s List:

1. Platte Valley Brewery, Kearney*
2. Thunderhead, Kearney
3. Fireworks, Lincoln
4. Upstream Brewery, Omaha
5. Misty’s, Lincoln

Autumn’s List:

1. Thunderhead, Kearney
2. Nebraska Brewing Company, Papillion
3. Lazlo's, Lincoln
4. Upstream Brewery, Omaha
5. Platte Valley Brewery, Kearney*

*This brewery cannot currently serve its own brew because the Feds have shut down production due to some improper licensing.  However, they still serve great pizza and a wide variety of microbrews.  We do hope that Adam gets to serve his beer again soon though.
