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.

    Had a wonderful time in Omaha this weekend. The Golden Tap was a great place; good food, nice atmosphere.
    It was a little frustrating to find Empyrean's Fallen Angel and not one, but two, Omaha restaurants! You can't even get that beer at Lazlo's, where it is brewed!
    We also got a chance to try a sampler at Upstream. It is worth the price to try all 13 beers.
