Has anyone gone on tour of Blue Blood in Lincoln? I think the Robbers Cave would be interesting to check out what they have done with it.

Finally made it there over the holidays. The cave was really cool. We had a tour guide that was not a tour guide because he was interested in the brewery, but he was a school teacher that was really interested in the cave. He did fine on the brewery part of the tour, but his knowledge of the cave was amazing. Great to see the cave protected and the brewery doing well.

Blue Blood Has Closed...

While we’ve been working toward a sale of the brewery for the past few weeks, our landlord has unexpectedly shut our doors. We sincerely apologize to our employees who have not been given sufficient opportunity to look for new employment as we had planned while negotiating through the sale. We thank you, Lincoln, for eight years of friendship and support, and encourage you to visit your local taprooms and support your neighborhood businesses.

Beers were always sub-par. Best thing they had going for them was Robber’s cave.

I don't think there beer was always bad, but it was very inconstant. We went there a few years ago right after they changed head brewers and they had a large selection and the beer was good, went back a little later and the selection was small and very average.

Robber's Cave now preserved into history


Robber’s Cave — carved into sandstone south of Van Dorn Park as an early brewery warehouse before becoming a gathering place for adventurous teens and ultimately an official tourist spot — can now become even more official. The cave already is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Now, History Nebraska gave the city of Lincoln a $40,000 matching grant to develop a management plan for Robber’s Cave, digitize material related to historical resources, make more information available on the website and to hold lectures. The grant was one of three announced by History Nebraska as part of its certified local government program designed to increase local preservation activities.

Legend has it that Jesse James once used it as a hideout and that's where Robber's Cave got it's name. Over the past two and a half years, Joel and his daughter Brooklyn have taken nearly 20,000 guests on tours of Robber's Cave.

Lincoln’s famous Robber’s Cave taps into the craft brewing craze.

Lincoln’s Robber’s Cave has transformed from a famous hideaway into a modern craft brewery. As the craft brewing explosion hit Nebraska, three Lincoln police officers turned their love of homemade beer into a business. They opened Blue Blood Brewery and are using the cave as a storage site for their custom barrel aged brews and a tasting room, with a separate area in the caverns set aside for the caves original inhabitants, bats
