I heard that they made enough off that release to put in a larger fermenter(I think thats what I was told). Just was told by a buddy so who knows.

That good to hear! It was a good beer. I bought one and then went back a couple days later and they were already out!

Wow good for them. Maybe that can open up their Benson location for more small batch beers.

Good for them. And good for us! What is that, 3 breweries within a couple miles of each other?

Was in Omaha this weekend for a wedding, one that Brad attended as well for a mutual friend, and took the girlfriend around to some of the microbrews in town. I'd like to think it was an off day, but the service at Infusion was |expletive|. Completely inattentive despite having plenty of staff and a manageable crowd. One bar tender was friendly to the regulars but anyone else she acted like they were bothering her and distracting her from something. We asked for the check from another bar tender who said she had to fill a few growlers first. Fine, but growler after growler went by and we sat there for 10 minutes waiting before a dude came out and asked if we needed anything. You can't take some time between a growler to punch in several buttons on a computer? It was enough for us to not want to come back.

Hate to say this... Except for beertopia (who are always very friendly), all the "Beer Corner" business (Insufsion, Crescent moon, Huber Haus) just don't seem like they care about customers anymore. I really like going to all of them, but the sure could use some customer service improvements.

All the guys at Beertopia have always been knowledgeable and helpful and don't BS if they don't know the answer. If they haven't tried a beer they will tell you, if they haven't heard first hand reviews on a beer they will tell you. I would hope they other establishments could learn from these young guys.

Sometimes you'll get that burnout late 20s/early 30s person that has worked in restaurants for years and are just sick of it and jaded, those people make the worst bartenders and servers and there are sadly a lot of them.

I stopped in to Infusion to fill a growler this afternoon. I also had a beer while I was there. The place was packed, but the staff was on top of it.

Not sure how long they will have it, but the West O infusion brewery had a 2014 Russian Imperial Stout on tap this past Saturday.

Nov 3 was international stout day.
Come to either location to enjoy a Peanut Butter Stout,
2014 Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout or our Nitro Dry Stout.
You will want to hurry in because once the 2014 Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout is gone...it's gone!
$3.00 Nitro Dry Stouts all day

Got my badge for stout day!

As far as the Peanut Butter Stout, it was good on tap, but a couple days later, the last lass out of the growler wasn't as good, so if you are going to drink it, drink it fresh!
