The Liquor Commission Control currently offers an online payment system for license renewals and tax payments. A spirits and wine online reporting system for distributors is currently in development.
“Our Commission will continue to offer more services online,” said Rupe. “We look forward to working with Nebraska.gov to reach our goal of providing more efficient ways for our users and staff to conduct everyday business.”
The Haymarket Cork & Ale Festival is tomorrow and I just got offered a free ticket. I got a free one for the beer bus as well. A bunch of us biker dudes went last year and it was good times.
Thunderhead brewery was our final destination Sat. I had heard their calazones were awesomr and was pretty darn hungry by the time we got there. I got a thunderzone and slpit it with Chris who got a meat filled calazone. Both were awesome. The fire oven made them quick and golden brown. They slather some melted butter on them and some parm cheese. The dough was perfect and the zones were not greasy. The beer ruled as usual.
We killed one keg and put the hurt on another before we hit Grand Island. Folks brought some food to pass around. One guy brought some deviled eggs, which was a bad idea. On the ride back the farts were dropping like crazy. You cannot roll down a window. 35 dudes who ate eggs and drank beer all day long was just asking for trouble. Some older gent horked in his seat and that just added to the stank. I showered when I got home. Theresa was surprised to pick up 4 fairly sober dudes after it was over.
We will leave from the Sam’s Club parking lot April 19 at 11:30. Please be there by 11:15 as we need to leave promptly. We will use a corner of the lot closest to 27th Street. We will be in Grand Island for a tour of the Modern Monks Brewery by 1:00 p.m. We will depart around 3:15 p.m. and head to Kearney where we will stay until 8:30 p.m. and return to Lincoln by 10:30 p.m.
In Kearney you can visit Thunderhead and Platte Valley breweries and weather permitting the beer garden at Platte Valley. There will be prizes, treats and food and drink specials. Feel free to bring beer or snacks on the bus. The cost is $40 per person. Food and drink at the breweries is extra. Tickets are on sale now.
Checks should be made payable to Modern Monks. Tickets by mail to Modern Monks, 2630 S 13th, Lincoln NE 68502.
I have been on many bus trips with these fellas. Plan on sleeping on the bus driving back cuz it gets a bit brutal. The worst was when we headed up to Lawrence and stopped by Pony Express brewery early and they forgot that we needed a tour. They put us in the tasting tap room and said drink all you want. We already had bunches of kegs on the bus, and by the time we made it to Free State Brewery I pretty much go blank. Oh man.
Looks Like I will be hitting this adventure up for sure.
I have heard such good stuff about this I had to try it since it made it to these parts. It does have a unique taste and goes down easy. A bit dry, which I like and good flavor. This might just be my new cheap beer.
Anyone in Lincoln, right now over at the Russ’s on 66th and O, they’ve got free samples of Fat Tire and Abbey Ale. Way better than free samples of Chex mix or whatever. It kind of inspired me to start drinking early, thinking “if this old lady giving out samples is down with drinking in the early afternoon, I may as well too”. So go get a free dixie cup or two of beer, then head downtown for Gene’s show. Hurry!
My friend had a picture on his fridge that said don’t be that guy and had a fat drunken slob caricature.
The lime bomber is a gadget that helps you put a lime in your crappy beer, yes helps you put a lime in a beer.
Apparently Americans have lost this ability and need a fricking gadget to put a lime in a beer.
If your beer needs a lime you should not be drinking it.
YORK, Va., Feb. 27 (UPI) — A York, Va., man named the nation’s top beer fan by a Colorado-based brewery has been awarded a lifetime supply of his favorite beverage.
Matt Venzke, who was named the winner of the “12th Annual Search for America’s Ultimate Beer Fiend,” which was carried out via a series of question-and-answer sessions with contestants, won “free beer for life” from Wynkoop Brewing Co., as well as a $250 beer tab at his favorite bar and the chance to design his own custom-brew alongside the company’s top brewer, the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press reported Wednesday.
Venzke explained that his new found title was not based on the quantity of beer he drinks, but rather on the variety of brews he enjoys and his level of fandom.
“It’s not about drinking high quantities of beer, it’s about enjoying the diversities of beer,” Venzke said.
Wynkoop said Venzke was chosen for his “humor” as well as “a combination of impressive beer drinking experiences … and beer ambassadorship.”

Their equipment is like so much cooler than what I had at Misty’s.
So cute with Fuggles hugging her snake. Maggie can’t get it that way.
A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
