Discover the brewing history of the Gateway to the West!

Omaha's brewing history is as deep as any in the Midwest. Led by the big three (Krug Brewing Company, Metz Brothers Brewing Company, and Storz Brewing Company) in the late 19th century, production soared until Prohibition. The trio of Nebraska breweries made a comeback into the 1970s, but ultimately succumbed to the big beer brands. Today, Upstream Brewing Company, Infusion Brewing Company, and Farnam House Brewing are leading the way in a competitive craft beer scene.

Suggested beers when visiting: Metz Jubilee (Infusion) and Monk's Chalice (Vis Major).
