I love NBC. The staff is very friendly, the management is helpful and knowledgeable, the brewers are fantastic and love to educate patrons and staff, and the owners are just amazing people. NBC makes some great beers and to my knowledge is the most awarded brewery in the State! Though they dont have a plethora of beers on tap they have a variety of styles to please even the pickiest palate. They also recently started a barrel aging program that is incredible. Whisky Barrel Aged Imperial Stout...Chardonnay Barrel Aged Belgian Blond, Barrel Aged Belgian IPA.. Delicious, and award winning. You can’t go wrong at NBC. Make sure to check out The Lauter Tun which always has a large selection of NBC beers on tap and sometimes...just sometimes has a barrel aged reserve series beer in KEGS not just bottles! If you are touring breweries, make sure to hit up Upstream, Empyrean, Lucky Bucket and more!

Ok beer, not fantastic, but better than many I have had at other "Brewing Companies". It was a welcome stop though when passing through Nebraska.

Outstanding atmosphere, especially on Husker game days for college football fans. Beer drinkers will love the variety and the passion of the brewer(s)/owner(s). Spent over an hour talking to one of the owners about their brewing process and goals. Food is the legit, and the beer is probably the best for the craft breweries in Nebraska at this time. While that doesn’t say a whole lot this place has it going in the right direction. Everything was a very positive experience for me here.

We went to NBC on what unfortunately turned out to be a busy night. They were out of the IPA but fortunately had everything else on tap. The Nut Brown Ale, Hop God, and Cardinal Pale Ale were all amazing, as was the Saison seasonal. The appetizer was the highlight in terms of food, as the "beer battered" French Fries were really nothing of the sort. Everything after the starter was simply okay, and nothing was amazing. This could have been due to the kitchen being slammed, but we came away slightly disappointed, despite being blown away by the beer.

Visited on a weekday afternoon. Very cool mix of old breweriana and new brewing equipment. Had 7 beers on tap the day I visited. Most were quite good. Didn’t try the food. Bombers and kegs are available to go. I enjoyed the place and would return.

Stopped here while in town for the CWS. Decent selection of beers. Enjoyed a few of them, but will definitely be back for another visit to finish them all. Food was pretty decent too. Definitely worth the stop.

Dean Dobmeier is no longer a brewer at this brewpub.

The place to be if you love great beer. Dark wood fixtures and earth tones are inviting. Long bar extends along one side of the brewpub. The silver fermenters and serving tanks are clearly visible. The brew system is can be viewed through windows at the end of the bar. Have 8 taps with 6 regulars, 1 brewer’s choice and a special “Tap 8” for the special Ale Nation members; NBC’s version of a “mug club”. NBC offers growlers and “party pigs” to go. The “pigs” are a good deal for parties and special occasions. The food menu has your traditional pub offerings, but many items have a little “something special” to set it apart. Recent menu updates have really impressed. For example, the crab cake appetizer is outstanding. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable. Service has improved since opening. If you’re in town, or are a local, come out and support this local brewery.

Went here recently and was fairly impressed. I found the regular line up of beers to be solid overall. The couple of seasonals I had were lame. The food was very nice and reasonably priced. Overall, a really good brewpub, that was spacious and clean. However, it was clean to the point of being sterile. On the way out I picked up a special Chardonnay aged Belgian brew. Interesting and certainly worth a visit if you are in the area. One thing I did not like was that I could not find the beer names anywhere once the menu was gone. The waitress got annoyed that I had to ask for the beer names.

This is my new favorite place. Rarely do the wife and I destroy a sampler. Thee beer is that good. The Brunette is fantastic, and the new Red is just a little bit better than that. Took home a growler of each. They also offer 2.25 gallon pigs, 5 gallon kegs and the 13.2 gallon kegs. I talked to the owners wife, and his nephew was my server, who was very knowledgeable about beer, despite looking young. The food was great! I’m glad I now have somewhere outside of Wisconsin to get real fried cheese curds that aren’t from Culvers. Beer battered fries are good too. Don’t let the boring name fool you, if you only have time for one brew stop in Omaha, this is the place you want to go.
