1954 - Ogallala's first permanent library was established here.

2023 - A different kind of library continues. You could call it a Second Chapter.
​
Come check out these beautiful bronze letters that used to hang at the entrance of the library!

On Monday, October 16, 8-year-old Pryce Gette was severely injured in a car accident. We happened to be talking with his parents, Reggie Skinner and Jeff Gette, when they got the phone call that no parent ever wants to receive.

We have been fortunate to get to know Reggie, Jeff, and Pryce much better over the past year, as they are members at the brewery, vendors of nearly all of our customized merchandise, friends, and community members. Pryce has been a gymnastics and soccer buddy to our son, and he has been known to entertain a whole taproom with his tractor noises or card tricks!

Pryce has a long road to recovery ahead of him and we would like to support his family.

Throughout October, we will donate 10% of all of our merchandise sales directly to the Skinner-Gette family. Help us clear our shelves so that we can order more from 5 Star Custom Designs and support their business too.

Online sales for taproom pickup or shipping are also available from our website: Online store.

Please share and spread some love to this family.

What's Boo at the Brewery?

Plan for an event that is more about sweet treats and killer beers than spooky tricks.

Make sure you have dancing shoes to match your costume since we'll have a live DJ and prizes.

Come hungry as the Raging Rhino Catering at Second Chapter Brewing food truck will be on site all day Friday and Saturday 10/27-10/28.

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.

​No cover charge. All fun. Come hang out.

Thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday for our first Oktoberfest! We had a blast!

Griffins' Nectar
Style: Hefeweizen
5.6% ABV
13 IBUs

In Greek mythology, griffins are creatures with the body and legs of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. They guarded golden treasures in Scythia with their eagle eyes and lion strength.

Since we first uncovered the ornate tin ceiling in this building -- which is original to its 1927 beginnings as an American Legion Hall, long before it was a library -- pairs of griffins have been silently watching over the brewery.

They've seen us brew each batch.

We think that it's the golden-hued color of this Hefeweizen that has caught their eye the most.

Our latest unfiltered wheat beer has a beautiful foamy head and delicious notes of banana and clove.

Come try the Griffins' Nectar. It is a true treasure and the griffins are standing guard.
​
Available in 15 oz. or 5 oz. pours.

Next week! Drink local to support local.

We will be donating a portion of our sales each day to the Big Give campaign for one of three organizations. Donations made as part of the Keith County Big Give are eligible for matching funds.

Come out to Second Chapter Brewing to enjoy a local craft beer while you support or learn more about these great community organizations and initiatives. All three are near and dear to us!

• Tuesday, June 13: Supporting Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Keith County
• Wednesday, June 14: Supporting Ogallala Regional Arts Council
• Thursday, June 15: Supporting Keith County Area Development First Impressions
