9 Best Craft Breweries in Lincoln

“Hands down the best beer in all of nebraska. The barrel aged stouts are my favorite, and never fail to impress. The Czech and helles lagers are some of the crispiest and cleanest beers I've tasted as well. And don't even get me started on the pulpagogo series... Do NOT pass up an opportunity to try them!!! I've spoken to Kolby on several occasions and he, as well as all of the employees are the friendliest and most helpful people I have met at any bar. Keep doing what you're doing and never change a thing! I dread the day that I ever leave lincoln, as I will miss this brewery dearly.“

“Stopped in for a quick beer while riding the bike trail and it ended up being the perfect break. The brewery has a welcoming, laid‑back vibe, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier. The beer was cold, flavorful, and exactly what you want after a ride. It’s the kind of local spot that makes you glad you paused your pedal—great atmosphere, great people, and great beer. We’ll definitely swing back through on our next ride. Recommend: Jefe's Hefe“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“My wife and I go to this neighborhood favorite of ours for trivia and beer. We recommend the current craft creations Loma Lager, Chocolate Porter, and Overdone IIPA. The bartender is always friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The food from nearby Art and Soul is delivered to our table and is nothing short of fantastic. Highly recommended… we keep coming back.“

“Corn Coast is brewing some of the best craft beer in the Midwest.. Highly recommend a pint or two…..“

“Thank you to the The Mill @ Innovation Campus for supporting local arts. We appreciate your partnership.“

“Empyrean Brewing Co. is one of the better local brewery's. They have vast options and trying a flight is highly recommended. Fallen Angel is a personal favorite of mine! But if you go see if they will mix the Peanut Butter Porter with the Pitched Blue Black & Blueberry Ale makes for an interesting combo.“

“In a word, I would describe it as amazing!“

“Came in on game day and had a really good experience! Food was great and the steaks were cooked perfectly. It was pretty busy and a little chaotic with the game day crowd, but the staff handled it really well. Great food and service, definitely coming back!“
