Crescent Moon 15th Anniversary Week

The Crescent Moon is sponsoring the Nebraska Beer Blog the month of February.  The ‘Moon’ is a place I hold dear to me.  It’s where I first really started to experience great craft beer outside of my home.

They opened their doors 15 years ago this month.  Since that time, they have added the Huber Haus (German beer hall in the lower level), Max & Joe’s (Belgian beer bar with a retro Omaha bar feel), and Beertopia (Omaha’s first full-selection craft beer package store).

They have many great events and festivals throughout the year.  There’s Oktoberfest (I believe the largest in the state), Holiday Beer Fest, Extreme Beer Fest (which is this Saturday…hope you got your tickets before they sold out), Bockfest (Similar to Oktoberfest, but the celebration of spring rather than fall), and Sunfest.  There is also talk of adding another one to the line-up this year.

If you have never been to the Moon, I highly recommend it as a one-stop shop for your craft beer fix.

Here is a listing of the activities going on this week:
