Thanks for the intro Bryan. It’s good to be on board. Even though I’m in college I assure everyone that I don’t tote 30-packs of Busch Light these days. I’m always out trying new shit so this blog is right up my alley.
For the first post I have to chime in on a central Nebraska diamond, I’m talking about Platte Valley Brewery. If you want the balance of chill atmosphere and damn-good local microbrew then here is your reason to come to Kearney.
This is a little rundown of what they have to offer:
S.O.P. (South of the Platte) – Mexican-style lager, lightest beer they have but refreshing as hell
Hefeweizen – Classic German wheat, you’ll enjoy the Platte Valley version
Red Rock – Wheat beer, an orange overload similar to Shock Top
Adam’s Amber – German-style brown ale, Newcastle fans rejoice
I.P.A. – Good bitter beer with all the finest choice hops, barley n’ shit
Stout – Tied with Sam Adams Cream Stout as my favorite all-time stout…heavy with a ton of coffee, chocolate, and oatmeal flavor
Platte Valley has a beer for just about anybody, and they’re all solid. Like I said the place is laid-back with couches, wireless internet, and a beer garden. They also have the best drink special in Kearney: Thursday nights, any beer, 32 oz. mugs for $3.50. Do yourself a favor and hit it up, it’s on the south edge of downtown.
P.S. - You may hear that Thunderhead is the best brewery in Kearney, but it’s as overrated as “The Hangover.”

Your IPA description leaves nothing to the imagination. I want one.
Thats where Kearney keeps its wireless router. Good to know.
I've never heard of this place, but its my new primer location for the back-lot. I've got to hand it to them, brewing a mexican-style beer is a good move, there just aren't enough of those.
Isn't a Mexican style beer another name for tequila?
The Hangover...gloriously overrated. Couldn't agree more.
Transformers on the other hand...gloriously underrated. A 2 and half hour rollercoaster ride of nothing but special effects. No plot or character development to get in the way. Just stuff getting blown up by alien robots. I paired the movie with Smirnoff's new mango vodka. Great stuff!
Heading to Kearney Thursday and Friday nights for a July 3rd celebration. No one there will be under 50 besides me.
RLarsen, I've only been to Thunderhead but it sounds like I'm missing out. I will be there on both Thursday and Friday nights...I'll be the one in The Weekly Grind tshirt. See you there.
RLarsen will be the tall-ass blonde kid with a voice like Jack Buchfinck.
Yeah I'm sure ill be at Platte Valley tonight with the NTV crew, b gave you a thorough description.
