It is time for our 3rd Annual BeerBQ! It is July 20th, from 6 PM - 11 PM. Tickets will go on sale 50% off on Groupon for only $20 this Wednesday on June 27th, so be sure to get them before they sell out at this hot price! Do not wait because they will not last long! Bigger than ever, this year's ticket is the best price and value we have had yet! Your ticket will include dinner from locally owned RED ZONE BBQ, two beer tickets, a limited edition Children of the Corn t-shirt, and entrance into our summer bash. The party will also include a DJ, backyard games, and the newest addition is a home brew contest. To top it off this event goes to benefit Make-A-Wish Nebraska!
Locally owned and operated, RED ZONE BBQ brings a passionate, committed and proud Midwestern take on Memphis style BBQ. Their meats are cooked long and slow over indirect heat using a hickory wood smoke and their very own RED ZONE rub. You will get one of their famous sandwiches with two side dishes. You will also get two beer tickets good for our Pre-Prohibition Style Lager, Heartland Wheat, IPA (India Pale Ale), and it was such a big hit last year we are bringing back our limited release Children Of The Corn beer! Also included in this great deal will be a limited edition Children of the Corn t-shirt that is being made exclusively for this event.
Our parking lot party will have a DJ blasting great music and there are backyard games to play. There will be washers, bags, and ladder golf. Another addition for this year will be a home brew contest. Home brewers will be bringing their beers to sample out and everyone will be allowed to pick their favorite of the contest. The winner will get to brew their winning beer with Lucky Bucket. This is one party you won't want to miss!
Cool, I can't wait to try the October Fest!

1. Â Normally a tour would have 10-15 people. Â Friday's had close to 100
2. Â The Rum is done, they are waiting on bottles to arrive
3. Â They started with 4 fermentation vessels, they now have 12, and 4 more on order
4. Â The Whiskey will be done Friday 2/1/2013. Â They are going to have a party at 7pm.
5. Â They have a new bottling machine. Â The only one filled 6 bottles at a time, the new one does 24.

Yes and no. Â They have 3 bays now, but all the brewing/distilling is still done in the end bay. Â However it seems way more organized and condensed in there.Coyote wrote:Do they have that much space to house 16? Did they expand?

I'd also like to know where you found it. I'd love to try it.
It seems like most of the Octoberfest celebrations are usually in September, but may be they are getting the beer on the market a little early to get the word out before hand?HR Paperstacks wrote:Isn't it a little early for Octoberfest?
Also, while trying to figure out where to get the October fest, I came across this:

Probably a little early, but I figured I would grab one since it was there and caught my attention. Â I found it at Hy-Vee on 50th and Center. Â I would guess they are getting to pretty much everywhere this week if it is at a supermarket.HR Paperstacks wrote:Isn't it a little early for Octoberfest?iamjacobm wrote:Surprised to see it on the shelves today already!

According to their site:
http://luckybucketride.com/ride-events/index.htmlLucky Bucket wrote:2012 Lucky Bucket Ride - Friday September 21st, 7:00pm
The Lucky Bucket Ride, an annual festival of bikes and beers, returns to Omaha on Friday September 21st at 7:00pm. This festival was organized by Lucky Bucket Brewing Company of La Vista, Nebraska to celebrate biking. Similar to the wide variety of beers they offer, the Lucky Bucket Ride was designed for riders of all sorts: the daily commuter, the weekend warrior, the road racer, the once-a-year rider, and the mountain biker. The Lucky Bucket Ride includes a fun ride around Chalco Hills and an after party behind the brewery, to benefit Make-A-Wish Nebraska and Omaha Bikes.
The fun ride will begin at 7 p.m as hundreds sport their "bike" at the Chalco Hills Recreation area. Riders will start at the Natural Resources Center and then bike around the beautiful Wehrspann Lake, a 245 acre lake with a concrete bike path surrounding it. The bike path is surrounded by 940 acres of beautiful outdoor scenery. The ride will consist of two laps around the scenic lake for a total of 12 miles. Once the ride is over, bikers can go the brewery (2 miles away) for an after party.
Lucky Bucket encourages colorful and creative costumes, the crazier the better. Also encouraged are bikes of all sorts: street bikes, tandem bikes, mountain bikes, cruisers, tricycles, unicycles, big wheels... if you can pedal it 12 miles then bring it! There will be prizes for craziest costume and most unique "bikes". Adults are encouraged to be as joyful and carefree as children for the day.
Course: Paved bike path
Distance: 12+ miles (depends on how many laps around Wehrspann Lake)
Includes: Free Custom Ride T-shirt, Entry to Beers & Gears After Party, Two Drink Tickets Good For Beer, Soda, or Water
Requirements: Helmet, Must be 21 Years or Older
Aparently there is another Food Truck Festival, this time its at the Lucky Bucket Brewery!
Friday 8/24 4:30 to 9:00 pm

North Downtown for example. Â Of course anywhere would be better than an obscured industrial zone. Â Hopefully the brand grows enough to have a dedicated retail locale.
The good thing about tonight is you can go hang out and eat, then since its a long drive home to downtown, you can stop by the Greek Festival at Canfield's and have a Gyro...

At least that's my plan!
