Introducing: Lavender L'Amour

7/1/2025

0 Comments

 
​Out where the prairie meets the horizon and the wind carries secrets older than the hills, a body learns to appreciate the finer things. Cool shade. Quiet company. And a drink that cuts through the dust like a clean shot at dawn.
 
This here seltzer is a gentle paradox. Light as a prairie breeze, sharp as a six-shooter’s crack. It don’t come on loud, but it lingers, like the memory of a kind word spoken around a dying campfire.
 
Introducing: 
Lavender L'Amour 
(Lemon Lavender Seltzer)
6.4% ABV
 
Featuring ingredients from: 
Our Lavender Co. (Big Springs, Nebr.)
Long's Honey Farm (Gothenburg, Nebr.)
All Gluten Free Ingredients
 
Hat tip to Chad Seger for the name.

Member preview: June 25-29

Irish Prose

2/18/2025

0 Comments

 
The dry sarcasm of Oscar Wilde.
The minimalist text of Samuel Beckett.
The mystical verse of W.B. Yeats.
The social realism of Edna O'Brien.

The human conditions chronicled by authors such as Jonathan Swift, Maeve Binchy, James Joyce, and George Bernard Shaw.

Welcome back: Irish Prose, a dry Irish-style Red Ale that celebrates the rich literary traditions of Ireland.

The slight bitterness of the hops is balanced by creamy foam and flavors of toasty, roasted malts.

ABV 5%
IBU 23

Available now. Sláinte!

Plan to attend our St. Patrick's Day celebration of Irish culture and heritage on Sunday, March 16, 2-7! https://www.facebook.com/share/15GB2CMVb8/

“'How many years have I slept?' she inquired."

Like Kate Chopin's novel at the time of its release, the idea of a coffee cream ale was originally dismissed as vulgar by our brewer.

It's not the 1890s anymore.

Now, it is celebrated as sensitive, passionate, and inspiring.

Awaken your senses, throw off society's expectations, and find liberation in this delicious cream ale that is touched by the flavor and aroma of coffee.

Introducing:
The Brewakening
Coffee Cream Ale
ABV: 5.4%
IBU: 11.2

Featuring “Rhythm Blend” coffee, roasted by Regier Coffee Roasters of Madrid, Nebraska. Wake up to your life.

Available starting today in 16-oz or 5-oz pours, and in 16-oz to-go cans. It is also included in our Holiday 6-packs! AND: Rhythm Blend coffee beans (whole bean or ground) are available for purchase in our taproom and online store.

Here's one you haven't heard yet:

A mason, a railroader, and a mechanic walked into a bar…

They pounded their fists on the bar and loudly demanded 200 lbs. of roasted pink pumpkins.

The bartender said, "I'm sorry, I can't serve you. It seems like you're already drunk in public."

"We're not Pumpkin Drublic yet!" they shouted in unison.

Introducing: Pumpkin Drublic (Pumpkin Ale).
​
A collaboration brew brought to you by the brewing minds of Nick at Brewery 719, Dan at Flyover Brewing Company, and Richard at Second Chapter Brewing. Featuring pink pumpkins from BE Farms in Bayard, Nebraska.

For RELEASE at Second Chapter Brewing in October!

​(Available for PREVIEW now through Oktoberfest, EXCLUSIVELY for SCB Members!)

Come see us in the taproom!

We are open 4-9 today.
Thursday 4-9, with Trivia at 7.
Friday/Saturday 12-10.

We are excited to introduce our Peppermint Imperial Stout during our Parade Party on Thursday, December 7!

This smooth and strong Imperial Stout has just a hint of peppermint for you to enjoy. It's just what you need before a long winter's nap. Coming in at 9.3% ABV, it will keep you nice and toasty while you take in all the beautiful holiday lights.

It is also available as a Peppermint Stout Float on December 7! The creaminess of vanilla ice cream brings out this stout's smoky notes and balances it in a way that we think you will love. Add a sprinkle of crushed peppermint for added flair.

Thursday, December 7
4:00 Peppermint Imperial Stout Release
5:00-7:00 Eagle Radio Live Broadcast - Great Mule Giveaway qualifying drawing!
5:30 Parade of Lights
7:00 Trivia
​
This Imperial Stout has been adapted from a favorite homebrew recipe that our brewery assistant Chad Self has brewed for many years. We can't wait for you to try it, or for you to try your hand at trivia against Chad!
