It turned out a lot of people enjoyed the beer as much as he did -- so much that he purchased a 24,000-square-foot brewery.
"We had our licenses and everything kind of came together, so we went from construction right into beer production immediately,” he said.
Nebraska Brewing Company opened in 2007 just before the economy tanked.
"Frankly, at the end of the day, the fact that we were making good beer carried it for us,” Kavulak said.
Last fall's government shutdown held up federal licenses, which could have derailed plans to get his cans filled and delivered to grocery stores.
Now, 10,000 barrels of brew will be distributed to 15 states coast to coast.

Jay Tilles: Radio.com wrote:Also involved in the project is Cigar City in Tampa, a partner of Rock Brothers, explained Nebraska Brewing co-owner Paul Kavulak to Radio.com this afternoon.
“On a road trip recently, our lead brewers from Cigar City and Nebraska Brewing Co. got on the phone, hallucinated a pretty cool recipe to start with,” Kavulak said, adding that they’ll like use some ingredients that “don’t traditionally find themselves in amber ales.’
“The brainpower that we put together, we’re going to make sure the public love it, 311 fans love it, but at the same time, we’re brewers so we want to give it a little something special,” he said.
If all goes as planned, Kavulak hopes present the brew to the 311 at their Mandalay Bay ‘Two Night Stand’ in Las Vegas, July 3-4.
Although he can’t confirm it at the moment, Kavulak believes the goal is to roll out the beer as a draft at select local bars in Omaha and Los Angeles before going wider as a canned beer, Nebraska Brewing’s specialty.
Rock Brothers have a history here; they’ve collaborated with other artists on past beers, including Hootie and the Blowfish (Hootie’s Home Grown Ale).
No word on what the beer will be named just yet.

What a great name to honor an Omaha band!Coyote wrote:311 Amber Ale

What makes the open top can illegal in Nebraska? Is is OK is some states if you know or is it only overseas?

Didn't think about it in reference to the old pull tabs. At least that make a LITTLE since. Wasn't there also a concern with people dropping them in the can and then swallowing the tabs.Brad wrote:I don't remember if he said how many barrels they make, but they are the largest brewery in the state.nebugeater wrote: Didn't realise that were distributing that wide.

The law dates back to the old pull tab beer cans. He said people would throw the tabs on the ground and then people would cut their feet open. He is hoping to get that law changed in the next year.

Sure is.... didn't even notice that until a second look at your mention. Searched for OPEN TOP BEER CANBrad wrote:yes, that's even their can...
