Those are awesome! Do they just sell them at the brewery?

I think so. Coyote got those off FB and they mentioned something about filling them up with whatever.

That makes sense. I really just want one of the bottles.

Refills will be $10 and we will refill other growlers as long as we feel they are clean to our standard. And yes they are 1/2 gallon.

Nice work photoshopping all the husker logos off the field.

Also, Lucky Bucket was looking for a sales person for the Lincoln area.

So I went on their tour at the brewery tonight. It was pretty cool. I got some pictures, but they were with a iPhone 3GS, which for one doesn't have a flash, so they aren't very good quality. I'll try to post them Monday when I get to work where I can get the images off without trying to email each one of them.

I bought a growler a few weeks ago of their Snowsuit when I visited for the first time, but got the new Chava rum that was just release today along with another growler with their limited edition Barley Wine (~10% alcohol - more than Certified Evil). I also got a LB branded beer glass and a Certified Evil class:

Edit: One thing I learned tonight is that hard alcohol was not allowed to be made in Nebraska until 2008. It was Lucky Bucket / Solas that pushed for this change. And once they made this change, a brewery and a distillery could not occupy the same building. They ended up coming up with a compromise where they just put a chain-link fence in between the two operations. Another interesting fact - when they first started, they had just one bay, but they eventually wanted to expand so they just cut a hole in the wall to the next unoccupied bay. Afterwards they told the landlord who decided it was ok. The tour guide said it is easier for them to just do it and ask for forgiveness than to ask before hand. They are now up to three bays.

It you ever have a chance to go on the tour, I'd highly recommend it.

Coyote and I took a tour a few years ago right after they knocked a hole in the wall and went to 2 bays. They only had 4 tanks then, what were they up to tonight? 10 or 12?

I think I have been there enough times now that I could give the tour if I had to!

I don't remember exactly, but I think it's at least 10 for beer and a few more for the spirits.

Looking through the Sunday OWH today and when I looed through the Parade Insert that goes into a LOT of papers I just happend to notice that Lucky Bucket had a photo referance in their GIFTS FOR EVERONE section. Not mentioed by name but as part of a craft beer subscrition service.

sippin of a glass of the Chava Rum! Really good, tastes more like a scotch than a rum... Although, may be I have never had good rum.

Went to buy a new bottle of the Joss Vodka. Liquer store was out. He said it was sold and they now make it in New Jersey. Why?

Weird. Just came across this site http://www.jossvodka.com/

Something must be going down out there. Zac Left, then they apparently sell off the Vodka line?

Coyote · Post by **Coyote** » Mon Jan 21, 2013 6:16 pm

That is strange, hadn't heard about this, and this was Zac's pet project.

The line to get the first Whiskey!

A huge thanks to all of our fans who came out last week to get their hands on a bottle of the first batch of Cut Spike Whiskey. It was a huge success and we are sold out for the month of August. The next release will be September 5th at 4pm.

La Vista’s Cut Spike whiskey grabs highest honor at worldwide contest

Sarah Baker Hansen: World-Herald staff writer wrote:La Vista’s Cut Spike Distillery, the sister company of Lucky Bucket Brewing, won a double gold medal for its single malt whiskey at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition earlier this week. The double gold medal is the competition’s highest honor.

Its the first such win for a Nebraska-based distillery, and this year’s competition had more entrants than in years past: more than 1,400 from 41 states and 63 countries.

Lucky Bucket just retweeted a place in Tokyo Japan that apparently has Lucky Bucket on tap right now. That's pretty awesome.

Hey, I had only 15 minutes to pick up a Scratchtown Wonder Twin and pick up Big E for the CU game.
I went to Stoneybrook with one intention. Wonder Twin. The best Brew in all of Nebraska... Bar none...
