Nebraska’s Oldest and Largest Craft Brewery

I was first introduced to Ben Matya and Empyrean Brewing Company in my former career.  Currently, I have the delight of representing the brand at Bergseth Bros.  If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Ben in person, it does not take long to notice his passion and commitment to quality, integrity, and making the best craft beer possible in Nebraska.  This quality stands out in their year-round brands and seasonal offerings, as well as, their Carpe Brewem series.

My personal favorites are two year-round offerings, Dark Side Vanilla Porter and Imperial Mango IPA.   If you get an opportunity, try their limited release Peanut Butter Porter or Rye IPA.  Both are incredible examples of their passion and commitment to the craft industry.

Lift a pint of Empyrean Brewery to celebrate their 25^th Anniversary!

It began with a dream that we could brew full-flavored beer in the great state of Nebraska. In late 1990, that dream became our state’s first brewpub, Lazlo’s Brewery & Grill. Since then demand for our beer has grown, so we expanded our pub and Empyrean Brewing Company was born. Today we still dream big, even while we handcraft our beers in small, flavor–filled batches. So enjoy an Empyrean beer— the taste of dreams come true.

All of Empyrean beers are presented in the most natural state possible.

Unfiltered. Unpasteurized. Uncompromised.
