14 Best Craft Breweries in Omaha

“Best brewery in Nebraska. Hands down. Great variety of beers for all taste palettes. Wonderful staff and nice building. Favorites: dream bar, smootie & satchel. Do yourself a favor and pay bearded brewers a visit! 🍻“

“Fun vibe great staff and even better beer“

“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!“

“Really enjoyed our evening with great beer and whisky“

“Love this brewery. The brewers are awesome and of course the beers are great. Pretty good location and the layout is real nice, especially during warmer weather. Good selection of beer that isn’t all IPAs (they are good but you need variety). Need to support local.“

“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.“

“Had the absolute pleasure of hosting a surprise party for my husband here. The event coordinator was fantastic and answered all questions super quick. The food is a 10000/10 everyone loved it. Plenty of beer and cocktail options for everyone to be happy. I planned this party sight unseen and it was my first ever experience here. We will be regulars for sure! Now i will say, their party room is small, could realistically host a comfortable number of 15-20 BUT we were allowed to take up tables throughout the bar so our party of 40 didn’t even flinch. Bartenders were super chill and helpful!“

“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 ☺️“

“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.“

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

“Hot bartender with a smokin good voice“

“My 1st time was in July. My 2nd was last night. The food was exceptional both times. There was an issue last night but our waiter and the manager were wonderful. We will be back!!!“
