Kinkaider Brewing – Aksarben
A brewery that’s has gained steam across the state of Nebraska, Kinkaider’s taproom in Aksarben serves up farm-fresh beers. They have something for every type of beer drinker, and if you’re not, you may just become one before leaving. It’s a fantastic place to enjoy a cold one year round, but especially in the summer on their patio.
Kros Strain Brewing – NoDo, La Vista
Famous for their hazy IPA, Fairy Nectar, Kros Strain has set the scene in Omaha for both innovative new styles and classic beers for everyone. If you’re looking for something a little different from the usual, this is the place to be. I love their location at Millwork!
Krug Park – Benson
If you’re into a vintage vibe and looking for variety of beers, Krug Park is a must. With 50+ beers on tap their options are endless, although their Bloody Marys might just steal the show. Cozy up in a booth at Krug Park and have yourself a day.
Lumen Beer Co – Little Bohemia
If you enjoy great beer and good music, Lumen Beer Co is your spot. With a mix of hoppy, sour and high-gravity beers, their is always a fun new beer release to test out. Be sure to also try their LuJu, an orange julius style hard seltzer.
Scriptown Brewing – Blackstone
Located in Blackstone, Scriptown Brewing keeps it classic with traditional style beers. They often use local ingredients, including Archetype Coffee in their Ups & Down coffee beer. Have a seat and grab some barbecue from Lazy Buffalo next door!

Come for the beer, stay for the live music. Site-1 Brewing is all about community and creativity, serving up beers in a unique spot near Midtown. With rotating taps and fun events, Site-1 Brewing is a great stop for anyone exploring Omaha’s craft scene.
Rathskeller Bier Haus – Blackstone
Rathskeller has recently re-opened and has the best German-style biergarten in Omaha. It’s free standing historic building is a charming spot to enjoy your beer, whether you’re sitting outside soaking up the sun or inside the cozy tavern.
