Take a tour of Nebraska’s largest brewery in Omaha. Lucky Bucket has a nice range of beers from wheat to lager. After you take a tour, sit and enjoy a cold glass of brew while catching up with some buddies. I support this awesome brewery in all their growth opportunities and can’t wait to see where else they will sell their beer in the future.
