What an incredible time we had at our St. Patrick’s Celebration at the brewery! From the lively atmosphere to the amazing company, it truly was a day to remember.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us, and a special nod to:

- String Fling, for bringing such great energy and music to the event.
- Main Street Meats, for the delicious salami and Irish cheddar.
- Bittersweet Bakery, for transforming our Imperial Stout into a delicious Irish soda bread.
- Richard, for brewing such a delicious Irish Prose Red Ale.
- Our taproom crew, for their tireless hustle and warm Irish welcome.

We’re so grateful for this community that gathered together and made it feel like an old Irish pub, full of laughter, stories, and good cheer.

Slainte!

Join us in celebrating the launch of Ogallala’s inaugural Western Trails Sculpture Walk with a special kick-off event!

The festivities begin on Monday, May 5 at 5:00 PM at Eccentric Lamb Fiber Arts (111 N Spruce Street, Ogallala, NE). Guests will have the opportunity to meet several of the talented sculpture artists and take part in the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Western Trails Sculpture Walk, held just outside the “pocket park” alleyway.

Following the ribbon cutting, enjoy a self-guided tour through Ogallala’s Western Trails Creative District, featuring a stunning collection of sculptures that will enhance our community for the next year.

Then, head over to Second Chapter Brewing (203 W A Street, Ogallala, NE) around 6:00 PM for live music, a festive Cinco de Mayo taco bar, and an opportunity to converse with the artists in attendance.

​This event is FREE and open to the public. The Western Trails Sculpture Walk would not be possible without the incredible dedication of Keith County Area Development (KCAD), the Ogallala SWAN (Sculpture Walk Across Nebraska) Committee, Ogallala Regional Arts Council (ORAC), and our many community partners.
​
Thank you for supporting the arts in Keith County!

We'll be open Saturday from noon to 10 p.m. as usual. DJ Luis (LJ Music & Audio) starts the party at 7pm. Only 21+ beyond that time, please.
