Nebraska’s Sour, Ugly Betty
A new Betty from Nebraska Brewing Company. This one’s ugly. Ugly Betty. If you ask me, it sounds like a barrel of Black Betty accidentally sour. Ugly Betty joins Nebraska’s Inception Series.
An outcast from the set of Black Betty, this barrel embraces the natural sour character that can emerge from an unscripted cast of extras who invade the set of a 6 month shoot. Black Betty’s unfriended barrel – staring in her own show.

Availability: 22 oz bottles
Arrival: TBA10% ABV

Nebraska’s Sexy Betty
Remember Nebraska’s Black Betty? She has a relative. Or at least a hot friend. Sexy Betty combines the barrel aged hotness of Black Betty, blended with 5o year old cognac barrel aged imperial stout. The blend does indeed sound sexy. She joins Nebraska’s Inception Series.
A sweet nose greets the adventurous in this marriage of our Black Betty Russian Imperial Stout and 50 year old French Cognac barrels. An elegantly pleasant surprise wakes the palate which migrates from a hint of Cognac into the wonderfully lingering roasted malt character.
Style: Imperial Stout (Barrel Aged)
Availability: 750 ml bottles
Arrival: TBA

Nebraska Barrel Aged Hop God Returns Tonight
Tonight, Nebraska Brewing releases another round of Barrel Aged Hop God.
...began with our Hop God Belgian-Style IPA which was then enhanced by a 6 month maturation in French Oak Chardonnay Barrels.This version of Hop God is a fascinating, big, bold Belgian-style Tripel hopped in very high amounts to concentrate citrus, grapefruit and floral aromatics in the nose.The addition of Chardonnay barrel aging adds further dimension and oak tannins to an already wonderfully complex Ale.We know of nothing that compares. Enjoy!
Style: Belgian IPA (Barrel Aged)
Availability: 750ml bottles. Seasonal

Nebraska’s Microbe Rue Release
The next experimental beer in Nebraska Brewing Company’s Inception Series will debut this Saturday called Microbe Rue. The beer will be available in 22oz bottles and only 18 cases are being released to the public. Microbe Rue took the Nebraska brewers two full years to brew and age.
What is it you ask? Two years ago Nebraska Brewing made a Holiday beer that was a Belgian Dubbel with Belgian Candy Sugar, cinnamon, and Nebraska City Cherry Juice. Back then, they poured some of this beer into a brand new Missouri Oak barrel and tucked it away until a couple of weeks ago when they pulled it out and bottled it. It is now known as Microbe Rue.
