Omaha, NE

Through a series of events I find myself in Omaha, NE, lucky for me my sister-in-law and her husband live here.  So we met up for dinner at a place called Cantina Laredo http://www.cantinalaredo.com/restaurant_location.php?st=NE a bit foo-foo for us but worth a try.  The cool thing is were we went to have a beer at afterwards.

They mentioned a place called Crescent Moon Ale House http://www.beercornerusa.com/indexmoon.html, which is a part of a complex of good beer.  Beside the multiple taps and bottles at Crescent there is Max and Joes, a Belgian bar, Huber Haus, a German bar and Beertopia a beer store.  This will involve more study, so in three weeks I will be exploring more at the corner know as " Beer Corner USA".

They have at least seven Nebraska beers on tap so I ordered a Spilker Ales Hopluia Ale http://hopluia.com/#, very caramelly with noticeable hops in aroma and taste.  As it warmed it became more complex but still seemed to be lacking at the end and overall a bit thin.  Maybe if it is was served at cellar temperature it would be better.  My sister-in -law had an Infinite Wit from Nebraska Brewing Company http://www.nebraskabrewingco.com/brews.asp, which she said she liked very much and would have it again.  She said it was very refreshing and was nicely spiced with orange and coriander.

So needless to say I am looking forward to coming back to Omaha to do more research at the Beer Corner.
