What a pleasant surprise in central Nebraska! Visited for lunch on a Sunday. We were the first people there when we arrived, and we were greeted rather warmly. The brewpub was located on a street corner in a cool little part of town. The place had a rustic look to it, but it was clean and nice. We sat in the lower part of the brewpub, but they did have another bar in their loft with pool tables and other games. They had nine beers on tap, and the samplers came in groups of five. The beers were surprisingly very, very good. I was surprised how well these were made for a small town brewpub (especially when they had another one just down the road). I enjoyed all of the beers, even their Peach Wheat. We only ate appetizers there, but the pretzels were inexpensive, huge, and delicious. The service we got was great, as the bartender/waitress sat and chatted with us about beer, specifically Nebraska beer. If you ever find yourself traveling along I-80 near Kearney, you’d serve yourself well to stop off at Thunderhead for some tasty beers and delicous food.

This is an oasis in the dessert/plains of Nebraska. I always feel welcomed at the bar. If you choose to sit there the bartenders are very smart and have a no tolerance for stupidity or lack of appreciation of Micros. They have five mainstays all which are good and the best IPA in the region!!!! There are about 5-7 seasonal s on tap at any given time. The Kolsch was excellent as well as the Alt. Currently a Belgium Dopple was added to line and is superb the Dream Pale Ale is made with wet hops picked locally. The wait staff really sucks. It is not uncommon to go up to the bar to get your beers. Thunderhead does so many things great as long as it is beer but everything else is mediocre at best

Trevor usually has a large selection of his beer on tap here. The food is okay, not great. It can be quite smokey when they have customers. Many times that I have been there, I was pretty much the only person in the joint. Don’t try to use your AHA Discount Card here because the lousy waitstaff has not been informed by the management that Trevor participates in the program (nice job of communicating with your peeps, Trev).

A pretty good brewery with pretty good food. Beers from Kearney and Columbus. Enjoyable beers but can get a bit loud for dining. Not a smoke free environment.

a good place to stop if you are cruising I-80. In general, they do quality beers, although I’ve only tried a few. The menu has been changed as they just installed a pizza oven. You can get pizza’s and a few sandwhiches made on homemade foccacia bread. I had a sandwhich and enjoyed it. Service was good. If I lived closer, I’d go here for the beer a lot. Lunches are generally dead.

Stopped by this pub for lunch in Oct. 2004 on our way to the GABF. The place was absolutely dead when we were there around noon. In fact, we weren’t sure they were open, so we peaked our heads in to ask, and were given a rude affirmative by a waitress. They had a pretty wide selection of brews, and I wish I could have tried more, but we had a lot of miles to put ahead of us. Food was mediocre. I had a reuben that was decent, but not fantastic. I would stop there again to try a few more beers.
