Simply put, they're the best brewery in the state. Over a dozen beers on tap at my most recent visit, and a unique culture that celebrates ingenuity. Get a tour if you can. There are several other locations to visit, but this is the original. Food trucks frequently are available for dinner. read more

Delicious! We were invited to taste everything before we ordered. Got a flight each. My favorite was the Barrel Aged Stout, thick, rich and sweet. Got a growler of my date's favorite, the Can Opener, to go. Highly recommend! read more

Zipline Brewing is a bit off the beaten path but we are glad we found them. All the beers we tried were delicious.

Friendly staff, lots of different beers to pick from from hazy IpAs, imperial stouts, pilsners, and everything in between, including a beer dedicated to mental health awareness called The Things We Don't Say. Very chill ambiance that made me just want to sip on the beer and chill all night. read more

So as I was cruising arond Lincoln I remembered that Zipline has a great Taproom on west O street. I have always liked Zipline and I decided to stop by. I got somewhat lost but had the general idea of where I needed to be. I prematurely turned around and was back downtown. bummer. I busted out my trusty Yelp app and looked up "zip" and clicked on Zipline and 'Get Directions' from there I just followed the directions and ended up here very quickly. I was fortunate enough to be from the the first one in. Plenty of beers. Plenty of samples, and plenty of great beer. A really crisp vibe and great appeal. Free WiFi ( a must for yelping) and pretzels and dry goods. Industrial neighborhood and generally a great location away the typical Lincolnite vibe read more

See all

Awesome beer. Awesome game room. This place is exactly what I love about breweries. A fun atmosphere to sit and relax with friends. Big selection of beers and I didn't have 1 that I'd didn't love. Will definitely be back! read more

We stopped for a Brews and Bees event over the weekend. Unfortunately, it was 100+ degrees outside. They moved the event indoors, but the place was so packed, the AC couldn't keep up, and the actual event was in a non-air conditioned room (they had the garage doors propped up). Everyone made the best of it; you know midwesterners, we won't let bad weather stop us--if we did, we would never leave the house! Because of the heat, we did get to go in that back area where the event was that's typically employees only. We got to see the bottling line and all sorts of brewing equipment. It was pretty neat! There were honey samples, tacos, free wildflower seeds, and all sorts of information on how you can help save the bees. The beer itself was pretty good, especially in the heat--cool and refreshing. You can't have beer without the bees! read more

Awesome, awesome brewery. I've always loved Zipline's beers and made it a top priority for me to visit when in Lincoln. It is a little out of the way, in an industrial area....Kind of like a couple of the breweries here in Omaha. Kind of a cool setting I suppose. Anyways, on to the review. I love the inside of this place. Their choices of places to sit are all unique, including a giant leather couch with a piano is front of it and the big Zipline logo on the wall. You've got the bar, some large picnic style tables, and some smaller high tables against the wall/windows. They have a selection of merchandise on the wall off to the side as well. They have a great selection of beer, all of them are very drinkable in my opinion. I can't say the same for any brewery I've been too (Except Boulevard!). They do, however, have a couple beers that stand out. Try the NZ IPA, Belgian Dubbel, and the Barleywine if you're feeling up to it....I love this place, their beers, their logo...all of it. My favorite brewery and I hope I can come back a couple times. read more

Another favorite stop of ours. We pulled into Lincoln just in time to stop in before close. We ordered a flight of 6 tasters. It's hard to say which one we liked best because they were all so good, a great sign from a craft brewery! My favorites were the Black IPA and American Tripel. The Nut Brown was a favorite between my husband and I also. We were in right before close so they started cleaning up while we were enjoying our tasters. They were very kind and let us know we didn't need to rush and even offered us another beer! We were exhausted and wanted to let them clean up so we went on our way. Very happy with this stop, we may need to do this more often on our long trips between Iowa and Colorado! Zipline is definitely worth the visit. read more

Awesome place. They leave the door open on nice days, have an awesome patio, and play good classic rock tunes. Lotta Tom Petty and the Stones and good beer. Free samples of beers, which are awesome. And really cool "stainless steel Boston round" growlers for $25 with a free first fill and $5 refills after. Come check it out. It's especially nice at dusk on the patio. read more

Zipline Brewing - Best time to visit is dusk - Breweries Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

This past weekend I was home in good ol Lincoln and finally tried Zipline Beers and I am glad I did. So happy to find another great brewing company in my hometown. I tried the IPA, Nut Brown and The Copper. All smooth and delish- So much so we bought multiple (affordable) 6 packs to take back to Texas with us. In fact I'm enjoying a Nut Brown right now....so if you don't mind I'm gunna wrap it up and say Yes to Zipline. Hopefully I can go to the tasting room someday. read more

We stopped in the tap room on a Thursday at about 4:30. The place was really hopping!! (Pun intended) We were lucky to snag one of the few seats left inside, a high top by the door. The seating here is a mix of high and low with a couple of leather comfy chairs in the corner. They also have a patio. The staff was doing a great job of keeping everyone hydrated. My favorite is the awarding winning Copper Alt. It is available at many bars and restaurants in Omaha so I have had it many times. A delightful blend of a lager and an ale. My hubs had the oatmeal porter and it was great as well. They don't have a huge selection of beers, but what they do have is solid. They always have a seasonal and at least one small batch beer to choose from as well. You can do a taster here which I recommend if you have not tried all of their beers. Bonus: they have free pretzels! read more

Zipline Brewing - Copper Alt (their best IMO) and the oatmeal porter in the background. - Breweries Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Great spot. Good selection of beer. Bartenders helpful and friendly. Would be nice if they had more food.

Yes, I want more. The Old Ale was amazing at the 3rd Annual Hop Cup! I gotta say, these guys got the right recipe for success! They blow me away with their smooth drinkability while stretching the boundaries of my taste buds. For a brewery nearby in Lincoln I've appreciated that they've gone out of their way to produce a quality brew. Their NZ IPA is one of my favorites made in the area and I'm sure I'll try others soon! Thank you for supporting such a good cause to make hops more accessible to us brewing in the fly over states! We appreciate your efforts! Cheers! read more

Great brews! Place looks cool on the inside too! Good place to relax and enjoy a brew or two! read more

Zipline Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

A great first stop on a small brew tour coming through Nebraska. Solid beer with a small selection of experimentals. Comfortable beer garden in which we could bring our own food. The oatmeal stout was a definite favorite of our tasters. read more

We knew it was going to be good the second we stepped out of the car and were immersed in hoppy atmospheric aromas. We could see into the shipping area and headed into the taproom for a small flight to share. Being the lightweights we are with distinctly plebeian palates, we let the young man choose our beers for us. We enjoyed tasting them, such variety in color, aroma and taste. Then we purchased, of course, the lightest of the bunch, the German Kolsch. The guys were friendly and the area was clean, roomy and comfortable so a real nice place to visit. Also, we were there Wednesday afternoon, they have Happy Hour so our small flight was a bargain $6.00 - nice! Thumbs up for Zipline! read more

My husband and I were in Lincoln for the weekend (from Omaha) and one of our favorite things to do in new cities is check out breweries and tap rooms, so to Zipline we went. It's on the west end of town, but not too out of the way from campus/downtown. I've tried most of the bottled zipline beers, so was pleasantly surprised that their tap room had a very wide variety (10+) of their beers on tap, everything from year-round beers to their seasonals and even a special cask for that night. I like sampling multiple beers at new breweries, so I appreciated that they offered half-pints as well. We particularly enjoyed the oak aged IRA! Oh, and free pretzels - a nice touch! Service at the bar was very friendly, and bartenders knew their stuff. Not sure how much of the year they do this for, but it appears they have food trucks in their parking lot every Friday evening - another great touch. The BBQ restaurant that was there when we went had great food and great service as well. Zipline will definitely be a place I head back to on a Friday or Saturday night the next time I visit Lincoln. read more

Zipline Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

I love the new beer hall - very cool. The beer selection is stellar and the collaboration with Art & Soul for food is brilliant.

While not quite among the best breweries in the state, I will say that Zipline is pretty darn good. I tried a flight of beers and can say that I enjoyed them all. I also liked the interior of the tasting room even if the location is a bit remote. I'll be sure to visit again whenever I'm in Lincoln. read more

Very nice tasting room. Good beer and nice atmosphere. They have outside seating as well. Had hibiscus saison and it was great, especially for summer. If you are looking for good beer, I definitely recommend to stop by. read more

ZIpline was a terrific place to get a beer. My friends and I stopped in after the game on Saturday, and even though we were not locals we were shown some great hospitality. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for some craft brews and a nice, clean environment to drink them in. read more

Love Zipline! They are such a great local brewery with amazing beers. This is also a great place to have private parties. While they do partner with local food vendors for some events, I wish they could have more regular food offerings. Otherwise, the place and the beer are great! read more

A Lincoln gem worth riding or driving to. A strong lineup of tasty beers across the style spectrum, often with taproom only brews. Great ambiance, great staff, great company. Give it a try. read more

My favorite microbrewery in Nebraska by a considerable margin. I've yet to sample a beer here I didn't think was excellent. These folks take pride in their beer, but run a really relaxed and comfortable place. Sitting out on the patio on a nice afternoon sipping flights of beers is a wonderful way to top off any visit to Lincoln. read more

If craft beer is your thing, you must stop here. Best brewery in the city of Lincoln Bar none. The tap room is spacious, and they have some outdoor seating. Usually have a fresh spread of beers that you can't get in stores here too. They do a tone of exclusive tastings events and casks. As well as seasonal beers. Give them a like on Facebook, they'll tell you all of the new beers they are tapping or cask events coming down the pipe. We come here all the time. read more

I just got back from Colorado's micro beers, so I had to check this place out. It was great. The beers were delicious, and there were a lot of choices. I found the perfect one that was a little smokey. I cannot remember the name, so I am hoping I can figure it out next time I am there. read more

Awesome beers, great artsy, chill vibe, and nifty swag. Support this awesome establishment, and drink local youz guyz.

A friend took me here when I dropped by on a cross-country trip. I had the Country White (I think that's what it was called?) It was delicious. Be aware that they close very early (~9 pm) read more
