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.

Thanks Tara for the bottle.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a slightly glossy golden color with a slight transparency about it. Light carbonation was seen rising. Light speckled lacing showed it’s face after a semi - quickly dieing head.
The smell had a light strawberry with fairly light sweet corn notes blending decently.
The taste was mainly the strawberry and that was pretty light as well.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there but even that wasn’t too harsh - it actually had a decent smoothness to it.
Overall, a nice Summer session I think I could come back to.

Draft. A- Wheat, watery, strawberries. A- Golden color, hazy liquid, minimal head. T- Strawberries, wheat, sweet. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, fruity finish. O- Felt a lot like the Abita Strawberry. The berry flavor at least didn’t taste artificial. Still needed a lot of work to create a balanced beer though.

On tap at CBB, a very citrusy nose with a medium body. The taste was definitely hop forward but overall fairly good. An ok Black IPA.
