14 Best Craft Breweries in Omaha

“Far and away my favorite brewery when visiting Omaha. These guys have it nailed. They don't have food, but you can bring with or order in. 100% recommended!“

“Great place with an excellent spread of interesting and delicious beers. Staff is always great and the owner is there and engaging every time we’ve been.“

“Went here today to try out their newest seasonal beers and omg! This is the ONLY place where I will drink a sour. Their cranberry sour was amazing. The Pecan Pie Brown Ale and the Stuffing beer were also very good. And it’s so nice that they have a couple of dairy/meat free options on their menu. We love this place!“

“Made me a born again bourbon drinker. service that was friendly and efficient. affordable. memorable.“

“Beers are amazing, especially the IPAs. The food menu is absolutely killer as well! Atmosphere is great and it's a awesome hangout spot for 1 or 10! Highly recommend visiting and enjoying a beer with Todd and Shane. The bartenders are also very friendly and knowledgeable 🫶“

“I went on a Saturday afternoon with a group of 7 and we tried nearly every beer by getting flights. I believe these to be the best beers in the Omaha area. Every one I tried I would order again. The pizza is really good. Not sure I've ever had Detroit style pizza but theirs is outstanding. This is my new favorite for beer and pizza.“

“If tomorrow were my last day in Omaha, Scriptown Brewing Company would be at the top of my list of places I would absolutely need to spend time at. Scriptown is everything a local brewery should be: great vibes and location, warm and welcoming staff, and the best tasting beer in town. Scriptown was on Farnam Street before Blackstone turned into the bustling nightlife street that it is today. It was amazing when it opened, and it has kept its true identity to this day even as the street and the businesses around it have perpetually been changing over the past 10 years. The owner John is a true beer guy: he's an expert at his craft and simultaneously doesn't fall into "trendy" beers while also listening to his customer base on what they want. It's been incredible to watch them navigate the hurdles COVID threw their way, incorporate a side restaurant, garage doors on the front of the business, and host live music events. Evan is the Czar of Scriptown. Incredibly nice bartender who I'd bet a weeks worth of wages that he knows his regulars better than any bartender in the city. If you're a runner, be sure to give Scriptown Running Club a shot. Rain or shine, 100 degrees or -10 degrees, they meet every Thursday. Last, don't be alarmed if you don't drink beer - they make their own ginger beer and have the best mules in Omaha as well. Quit reading this review and go try it for yourself - I promise you won't be disappointed.“

“We stopped by on a whim while doing some Christmas shopping. The employee working was helpful in answering my questions on which beer to choose. I decided on the seasonal milk stout that did not disappoint. Plus, adding a book library makes me even happier! Books + beer = Heaven for me!“

“Good bar with great drink options. Wish they had food. I also wish that their trivia on Wednesday nights had more of a variety in questions. 90% of the trivia is catered towards the older generation. It is hard to sit through when the younger groups aren't given a fighting chance. Other than that, it is a fun time.“

“Just hosted my parents 50th surprise birthday party here at the Omaha location! Staff is super kind, let us move their tables around, bring our own food, and let us bring decorations. We had probably over 50 people there and had no issues with space; kids are allowed too. Kudos and much thanks to Backswing Brewing! As a plus, their drinks and beer is great too ☺️“

“Best craft beer available downtown from the best Nebraska brewery.“

“So, I finally decided to infuse my life with some hops and barley at Infusion Brewing, and let me tell you, it was a brew-tiful experience! Devon, our beer guide extraordinaire, was very accommodating.

Infusion Brewing is a great spot to chill, sip, and maybe even lick your way through a good time.“

“We stop as often as we can when we’re driving from Kansas City to northern Nebraska. From our first visit, we’ve been impressed with everything from the pleasant service to the creative menu and dishes. My husband’s favorite is the VooDoo Chicken, but warns that it’s not for the ‘faint of mouth’. It’s delightfully spicy and goes beautifully with the accompanying cooked apples and al dente green beans.“

“Hot bartender with a smokin good voice“
