Savor: Nebraska Craft Beer (2019x15)

Air date: Aug 14, 2019

Think the best tasting beer comes from nationally known distributors? Think again. Nebraska is home to a growing community of local craft brewers that are producing nationally award-winning beverages. And, with nearly 50 breweries in the state, the impact on the economy has soared as producers grow their brands. NET’s Savor: Nebraska Craft Beer taps into an old industry that is flourishing once again. Explore the history of beer in Nebraska, the people who make beer brewing their life’s work and how to pair your meals with the state’s best bottles. The new documentary also offers a sample of the industry from Infusion Brewing Company in Omaha’s Benson neighborhood and its Nebraska beer historian owner, as well as Kinkaider Brewing Company in Broken Bow and Empyrean Brewing Company in Lincoln, Nebraska’s oldest operating modern brewery.
