Description
Lucky Bucket is one of Nebraska’s oldest craft breweries, we tapped our first beer in January 2008 with the debut of Pre-Prohibition Lager which, along with Certified Evil Imperial Stout have been stalwarts on taps and shelves across Nebraska.

From our first beer Lucky Bucket has always been interested in pushing the craft market by looking for the unexpected, from using old recipes and exploring forgotten styles, to trying new ingredients and experimenting with different styles.

Although there are some changes afoot we’ll promise you that you can find your old standbys as well as rotation of new options whenever you come by the taproom.

From the taproom, to the bar, to your back deck, at Lucky Bucket our goals have always been simple, to create high-quality beers that people can enjoy with friends and family no matter what life throws at you.

Copper colour and small beige head. Sweetish toasted banana in the nose. Light-bodied. Watery. Toasted banana flavour. A bit one-dimensional but likeable as such.

Bottle. Deep golden color. Flavor is of good balance leaning to the malt side. Aroma is the usual lager aroma but a tad more pleasant. This is actually a better tasting the normal lager.

Bottle. Light orange-amber color. What I am about to say is meant as a great compliment. This beer reminds me of the old Miller Lowenbrau. It was my favorite beer when I was a young man and I really miss it.

Bottle. I didn't know until I rated this that there are several incarnations of this beer. I can say it was extremely good and tasty though it will knock you on your tale.

Bottle. Golden in color. This beer was just ok. Yes it did have some strawberry taste and aroma but it can across as artificial and didn't complement the rest of the beer.
