Congratulations to the top teams that qualified for the Nebraska State Fair Puzzle Competition in September!

This edition of Puzzles and Pints was so much fun! Our first place finishers sped through all 500 pieces in only 39 minutes, 28 seconds. The next three teams finished back-to-back at 1:03:54, 1:04:04, and 1:05! It was a real nail biter.

Congratulations to all the teams.

A huge thanks to everyone who came out for our Spring Comedy Series. We laughed, and then laughed some more, with the supremely talented headliners Tom Thakkar, Ray Harrington, and Andrew Sleighter!

Comedy nights at the brewery take collaboration and hard work, but they're worth the effort when we get to see so many people enjoying a good laugh and a great beer.

Special shoutout to our taproom staff, who kept the drinks pouring even when the room was packed to capacity or they had to overcome technical difficulties. We are also grateful to our local partners, including the Best Western Plus Ogallala Inn for housing the comedians; Bubba's Smoked & Loaded, Piglee Wiglee BBQ, and Prokops' Smokin' BBQ for feeding our customers; and the Keith County Chamber of Commerce, and Visit Ogallala & Keith County, for helping us get the word out to make this event series a success.

Until next time!
