Visit the website for more information: www.omahabeerweek.com

We have posted some of our events but are still working out some details and will be adding information as it becomes available. Right now it is shaping up to be a busy Omaha Beer Week at The Beer Corner.
Let me give you some details not yet posted on that website...you might want to read the website's event page before this (it will make more sense)

Fri, Feb 3 during our special edition Pint Night of Nebraska-brewed beers we will also be celebrating the 3-year Anniversary of Lucky Bucket Brewing Co. The Lucky Bucket bus will be at The Beer Corner from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and the Brewery Boys will be giving away prizes, with the grand prize being a year of free Lucky Bucket Beer (one case per month). You must be present to win. Drawing to be held at 8:00 p.m.

The City wide bus tour will be on Jone-Z Party Buses and is free to ride. We will have an east route and a west route. The east and west routes will both stop at Mojo's Smoke House in Aksarben. This will be a transfer point to get from the east route to the west route and vice versa. Right now the east route participants are Brass Monkey, Upstream Old Market, The Crescent Moon, Krug Park, Jake's Cigar's and Spirits, and Mojo's. The West route participants are The Later Tun, Lucky Bucket, Upstream West, Nebraska Brewing Company, Brix, Gater O'Malley's, and Mojo's. We plan to have multiple buses on each route to make an approximately 10 minute stop at each location every hour. The buses will run from noon to midnight on Sat, Feb 4.

Beer and Breakfast? We say, why not? Reserve your spot by calling or stopping in at Beertopia to our Brews and Breakfast on Sat, Feb 4 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. The three course menu and four beers (includes an appetizer beer) are TBA. Cost is $20.

The Beer Swap, Silent Auction, and Flea Market will be held in the Huber Haus on that same Sat (Feb 4) from noon to 3:00 p.m.  You may bring bottles of rare favorites to swap or to consign in the Silent Auction. We will have the beer swag focused Flea Market set up in The Huber Haus at that time.

The Vintage Beer Tasting we have planned on Mon, Feb 6 from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. in Max and Joe's is somewhat unusual.  We got our hands on 200 different beers from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. They are from a collector who sold his collection of about 5000 beer cans and of those, roughly 200 were full.  These are the beers we will be sampling. Although it will be fun to sample these beers they might not be so fresh tasting, so we will also have a fresh keg of beer on tap (TBA) for drinking during this event. Reserve your spot by calling or stopping in at Beertopia. Cost is only $20 with 35 spots available.

The Beer Bowl Trivia and Blind Taste Test will be in the Crescent Moon on that same Mon (Feb 6). More details in the works.

As more details become finalized we will keep you up to date. Email us (beertopia@msn.com) with any questions you may have on any of our Beer Week Events.
