Craft beer and happy hour heaven. Bearded consistently rotates their beers so you may never have the same beer twice! The selection skews towards IPAs but they generally have something for everyone. Each beer can come in different sizes depending how committed you are to trying a certain beer or just want a 5 ounce sampler. Food options here consist of some pretzel available to purchase but there is typically a food truck outside to help fill your stomach if you plan on staying awhile. The staff are not your typical bar staff but beer enthusiasts who are willing to wait on you hand and foot. The service is really top tier, the beers come out quick and they're always making their rounds to get your next drink. read more

Bearded Brewer is a great little brewery in the Millard area. There aren't a ton in that area so I appreciate that. The inside is very clean and simple - a nice, bright place to have a few drinks and chat with friends. The patio is great too when it's nice outside. All their brews are fabulous in my experience. My favorites are Great Plains Lager and the Cairns Pilsner (I am a fan of lighter beers if you couldn't tell). They have lots of different beer styles from Kölsches to Dunkels, and IPAs to Ales. So you'll definitely find something you like. They sell Kringles flavored pretzels for snacking on, or at least they did when I went last. Love those! Aside from that, they have food trucks that post up there as well, so definitely check their schedule to see who will be there when you want to go. For a local brewery, they have a pretty solid lineup of different brews, so I'd definitely check them out if you're in the Millard area! read more

I stopped by while in town again. Great beer as always. Staff is so attentive and one guy was going to everyone's table both inside and outside to order beers on his tablet which get sent right to the bar to be poured. I enjoyed the Cuban food truck they had on site too. read more

This place is amazing. All the beers are excellent and if I lived anywhere near here I'd be a regular. The rotating food trucks are a next level enhancement as well. If you're anywhere in west omaha it's always worth a stop in my book! read more

Bearded Brewer is just a few blocks away from our house, but it took me more than two years to finally stumble in. Friendly and helpful bartender. I wanted something crisp, which might not be their favored style, but he found just the right one for my mood, The Bag, a German Kolsch. No kitchen, but frequent food trucks. Will return. read more

The brewer here is just plain fun. And, yes, the guys who work here have facial hair. It's about the beer. I have never known them to have a regular beer on tap. It's always changing. They get creative. If you're bitter about breweries that don't have enough IPAs, no worry. They have them here. I shared a picture of three small pours of what intrigued us on this visit. Peanut Butter Porter, BF Pink (west coast IPA with grapefruit and sea salt), and Vivid Nectaron Dreams IPA. All fun and good in their own way. Not every beer I have had here hits a home run, very few hit a foul ball. It's always worth a trip. read more

This is now in my top 5 all time favorite local breweries. They have been around a while but I have just visited them twice, once on my birthday and once in early June. They are very prompt with pours and very friendly, answering any questions you have. Their beer is delicious and I especially like the wide variety of styles they have. To top it off, their bar snacks are super good. Got the habanero or ghost pepper cheese balls and they were amazing. Also got their pretzel mix and that was good too. The brewery is a small establishment, however, they have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating to accommodate everyone. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Great craft beers served by pleasant bartenders in a neat & clean brewery. Some snacks available to buy. Carry-on food welcome.

My friend wanted to try a new brewery and this was the choice that I made. The place was packed, but we were lucky to find a two seater table. One of the employees brought us an extra chair as well. They had a Mexican food truck parked outside, but they offered pretzels and snack mix to purchase at the bar. I was upset they didn't have a lot that I wanted to try, but I did find a German beer that was delicious. The place was very clean, the employees were very nice, and they offer a lot of parking. We will definitely be back because my husband has a beard that he's in love with (newly retired from the military ), and he loves their hats. read more

IPAs, craft seltzers, rustic accents, beards, and affordable prices? Do I need say more? The menu is fairly ever-changing, but seems to mostly be IPAs, though there are usually some light core beers, a sour or two, and a stout or two. In addition to the beers though, they have craft seltzers many of which are called "smooties" - that's not a typo. Perfect for your non-beer friends, and also for you. They are way too easy to drink. They have glassware for sale as well as crowlers to go. So, you enjoy their fare at home as well. read more

Bearded Brewer is at the front of the pack of breweries in Omaha. Huge selection. And so many are winners. Sat down today and enjoyed the 55lb Sack, an imperial IPA, 9.1ABV, 80 IBUs. Banana Dream, a fruited Berliner weisse at 7.1 ABV. Tastes like banana without the sideways, tinny taste that some fruit beers put out. Also, My Fanny Pack is a Big Dill, a Czech Pilsner at 5.7 ABV and 48 IBUs. It'll hydrate your tastebuds. Tons of other styles and tastes. Indoor seating with open garage doors and outside patio. Bearded Brewer is worth the trip from downtown. If you're West O, you don't have an excuse. read more

I love traveling, especially to travel to go to all different types of breweries. And I just recently traveled back home to visit my mother. I was looking for breweries to visit, which my aunt mentioned a relatively new place that opened near where she lived. Very happy she mentioned this place. Visited on a Saturday which was pretty busy. We sat at the bar, which there are tables to sit at too. We were greeted by a friendly bearded guy (can't recall if we got his name) But instantly he wanted to know what craft beers we were into or in the mood for. Very personable and helpful. A really good beer connoisseur. Which I'm pretty sure he was a owner/co-owner. Nectaron Memories being the best beer I had there. My aunt and I really enjoyed this place. It was a big bummer that their scheduled for truck cancel on them. Especially when tacos sounded perfect at that time. I'm coming back again in Jan for my birthday week and already have this place at the top of my list. read more

Always a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Staff is always helpful and nice. Multiple different food trucks that come, which is fun. Big fan of all the different types of beers they have on tap (seltzers, IPAs, etc.). Unique and different flavors - I haven't had anything I didn't like. read more

I met a friend here for a few drinks this past weekend. We each tried a couple different beers and they were great! The service was exceptional and our server made sure our drinks didn't run out. It's a small quaint location with beer only but they have a cycle of food trucks that park outside so they have food options nearby. I was impressed by the selection of beers from Barrel aged imperial stouts to some interesting sours. read more

Amazing beer and the owner is always so friendly and gets to know you. There is always a fun selection and it changes often. Never had a bad experience, definitely one of our go-tos! read more

Finally a brewery in Omaha that isn't afraid to break the mold. 90% of the breweries in Omaha are the same; great quality beer, but minimal creativity. Out of the 7 beers we sampled, all but one were absolute gems, the NE triple was good, but didn't stand out compared to any of the other samplings of the night. read more

Bearded Brewer is one of the best new spots in Omaha! While it's on the opposite side of town for me, I make it a poi to visit regularly. First off, the owners/head brewer are lovely people who are clearly passionate about their beer and community! The staff is always pleasant and helpful, and I like that they have table service. This place has something.for everyone! Whether you like traditional styles, fruity, hoppy, or dark...they do it all and do it extremely well! You can bring in food but check their socials for food truck schedules. They usually have a limited selection of to go in crowlers as well. Cant wait for patio season again!! read more

Nice place. They have a few tvs for game watching. A lot of beers with fruit, which is not my thing. A beer with Peanut Butter was not very good. Food truck outside. Staff and service is great. Need a wit beer. Carry a couple seltzers and one they free in a slushie machine. We had a green apple (think Jolly Rancher) - giving 7-11 a run for it's money! read more

The beer was good. Expensive but good, ($1 an ounce) They don't serve anything but their beer, & the selection was limited. Also they don't serve food and it's really bright in there. It is a friendly environment and if you greatly love trying unique craft beers, you must try read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! The beers and seltzers are wonderful. They always come up with such interesting combos and I love the "smoothies". They use real fruit and they aren't too heavy. Great addition to Omaha beer scene. The pretzels are good too! read more

I'm so glad to see a brewery that takes a chance with wild recipes rather than the same old tired beers. Located way out west is convenient for me but makes it quite the drive for many people. It's worth the trip! The brewery is clean and sparse with plenty of space to hang out for a while. They frequently have food trucks during the evening hours of you need some grub The beer menu is in constant flux which is a double edged sword. My favorite beer thus far has only been available for one weekend. Bummer. I think their seltzers and "smoothie" beers are the most exciting drinks. The strong dark beers are a bit too boozy for my palette. Overall I've been very happy with this place and hopefully they keep up with their adventurous style. read more

The staff was amazing the prices are way beyond fair and I didn't have a bad beer. You can take food in since they do not serve food but they do sell pretzels and host events and food trucks every so often! You should definitely go check it out. I personally loved the fact that the owner (the bearded brewer) will pop out from the brewing area to help out at the bar and within the tables. We will definitely be back and become regulars. read more

Bearded Brewer Artisan Ales - 5oz - range from like $2-$5 - Brewpubs Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

The best IPA's !!! We tried the Lucid dream., awesome. My Big Fanny Pack, awesome. Our favorite: It's a Citra!!!!! Indescribable. So delish. Also, slow pour , Pilsner My Big Fanny Pack : I don't go for Pilsner. This Pilsner is so flavorful. Can't say enough. Also tried the Craft Seltzer: Smoothie Puna Colada Seltzer. (I'm also not a seltzer person..... so yummy, the best!! I wanted to guzzle it. But it is 4.5% ABV so go easy, it's not water. Overall: the workers are so friendly, the owners are so friendly, the brewer is so friendly AND (we are not worthy) so easy to talk to. Can't wait to get back here. Alisa and Kirk, the brewer, owners are open armed with bringing us new strangers into their fold. One big happy family. Tia is so helpful and kind. We will miss them until we can return. read more

One of the best breweries in west Omaha. They offer very unique selections of brews mainly stouts, Porter etc. I love their ambiance to hangout with group of ppl. read more

Biggest pleasant surprise in a long time! Beers are fantastic. Service right along with beers. I am a flat out beer snob from Denver via South O. Who knew a Nebraska brewery could have folks working the tap room that know what a hop profile is ??? My faves over the past 10 yrs or so include: Weld, Cerebral, Comrade, Joyride, Westfax, Ratio, Woods Boss, Wibby & Knotted Root to name many. Go getchu some of this brew! read more

Small number of taps at the open, but excellent craftsmanship on the contents! Service is really good for the brisk business.

Outstanding customer service. Beer was great too. I enjoyed a well brewed and thoughtful slow pour Pilz, a modern and refreshing IPA, and a fun dessert stout. My family and I will be back soon. read more

Have always loved this place but I'm disappointed that they have so many IPAs now. Have told many people that it is the best brewery in town but I'm starting to rethink that. They used to have more porters and stouts. Don't seem to have as many smooties. I know they're opening a new place in Colorado and IPAs are the driving force there. Hope they bring back more smooties and it would be great if they returned to the old recipe for the piña colada smootie. read more

From hitting this place on opening night, to bringing friends and family here, this is our go-to place for a night out, board games, or just hanging out and relaxing with a beer! Awesome craft beers and seltzer's! Love the creative twist on the brews! Cannot recommend this place enough! read more

I have to say, absolutely excellent beer. I tried 5 different types here that were widely different on the beer type spectrum and literally every one I could have had bought to take home with me. All were that good. Definitely recommend. read more
