Empyrean Brewing Co. has been shaking up Lincoln, Nebraska’s beer scene since 1990, and the results are nothing short of glorious. With more than three dozen distinct brews, the lineup reads like a catalogue of daring experiments that actually work: the Fallen Angel Sweet Stout drapes your palate in silky richness, while the Pitched Blue Black & Blueberry Ale bursts with fruit‑forward brilliance. Even the Peanut Butter Porter, a cult favourite, manages to be both indulgent and surprisingly balanced.
The brewery isn’t just about bottled brilliance (though those are readily available); it also runs Beer School events that hand out free tours and samples, turning novices into confident connoisseurs in a single afternoon. Flight options are extensive, letting you sample a curated journey without committing to a full pint. The whole operation feels like a well‑orchestrated adventure (the founders, who had a knack for daring recipes, set the tone early on), and every sip confirms that Empyrean takes its craft seriously while keeping the fun factor turned up. In short, it’s a place where curiosity meets expertise, and the result is a continuously rewarding drinking experience.
Reviewers praise Empyrean Brewing Co. for its excellent beer selection with interesting flavors, tasty and well-made brews. Great service, food options like homemade apple sauce and rib-eye steak, and friendly atmosphere are also noted.
