Omaha Beer Week: Feb.15-24

Share Post

As the craft beer scene in Omaha continues to grow, the idea was born to create an Omaha Beer Week (OBW) to bring craft beer bars, retailers and breweries across Omaha together and offer 10 beer-packed days full of specials and new and exciting beery events all over town.

Each participating business will be creating their own calendar of events to run during OBW, creating a multitude of events and possibilities for Omaha-area craft beer drinkers to experience.

The few joint “events” will be the Craft Beer Bus Tour and the availability of commemorative pint glasses.
