Nebraska’s Best Farm Brewery Is Unexpectedly Awesome

Nebraska-brewed beer has enjoyed a whole lot of growth and attention in the past decade or two. There are plenty of hometown brews that we think beat out the big names, no question. One of our very favorite Nebraska breweries is Kinkaider Brewing Company, located just outside of Broken Bow on a picturesque farm.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate

Out here in the sandhills of Custer County, this plucky little farm brewery was started by four Nebraska natives who saw the potential for the area's crops in the brewing industry.

They created their own brews from home for a while and discovered that they tasted better than most of the commercially-available beers out there.

They joined forces to form Kinkaider Brewing Company, a name that pays homage to the history of this land.

A "Kinkaider" was a farmer who acquired land in Nebraska under the Kinkaid Act of 1904.

These small-batch, handcrafted brews use local ingredients, relying on our famously fresh and delicious Sandhills water as a base.

Sample them one glass at a time, or order a flight and try a whole bunch of varieties. Allow plenty of time to try them all, though; they rotate seasonally and every single variety is worth a try.

Not long after the brewery opened just outside of Broken Bow, the Tap Room followed. This gorgeous space right on the farm features a full menu and plenty of room for gathering with friends and enjoying your favorite beers.

The savory menu is far from an afterthought that you have only when you realize you need something to soak up the alcohol. It makes the Tap Room a destination all on its own.

Tasty favorites like burgers, reubens, mac and cheese, and killer onion rings grace the modestly-sized but always-terrific menu.
