Here is the formal press release regarding the Great Nebraska Beer Festival. All I can say is that this event is going to be great. I saw Kris Lager this summer and he and his band are amazing and worth the price of admission just for that, not too mention all the great beer we can and can't get in Nebraska. Get your tickets now before they sell out!!
Nebraska Brewing Company Hosts 3rd Annual Great Nebraska Beer Festival
World Class in Every Glass
The day’s events will include an opening ceremony by the Omaha Pipes & Drums. Food will be available for attendees to purchase throughout the day. Live music will kick off with the Kris Lager Band. Grand Theft Girlfriend will anchor the event from 4-6 p.m.
Two organizations will benefit from this year’s event. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Nebraska Craft Brewers Guild. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the Histiocytosis Foundation (www.histio.org). Histiocytosois is a rare blood disorder affecting 1 in 200,000 children typically diagnosed between the ages of 2 and 9 years old. With no federal funding for a cause or cure, Great Nebraska Beer Festival is working to raise funds and awareness for children being treated locally.
Tickets are $30 in advance ($35 day of event) and include a tasting glass and unlimited samples throughout the afternoon. Tickets can be purchased at www.greatnebraskabeerfest.com or at Nebraska Brewing Company.
Free cab rides home will be sponsored by Hauptman O’Brien law firm. Hotel sponsor Embassy Suites of LaVista and Courtyard by Marriott LaVista are providing shuttles and special hotel rates for guests.

This is going to be great event now in its 3rd year. I'm really looking forward to this Saturday!
Great lineup of brews that aren't normally available in Nebraska. Looking forward to trying them.
How about telling how much is going to charity, thereby justifying the $30 or $35 ticket price. If it's a big portion then that's cool, if not then ticket price is way too high for serving "donated beers". Most are coming for the beers and not the bands. Paying for expensive bands is a waste of money for those looking to try great craft beers. Maybe we could have a petting zoo also and clowns and see if we could get the ticket prices to $50 for next year.
I doubt they know what is going to charity until it is done and all expenses are paid. That being said, I don't find the price paid for beers I can't get in Nebraska or in some cases anywhere is a small price to pay.
