Moving out of the Old Market this week, CornNation heads back to Benson to profile Benson Brewery.
Check back here to see the breweries we’ve already covered, including Blue Blood, the brewery in Lincoln in which my wife and I are investors.
Background
The founders of Benson Brewery hail from Omaha and Michigan. They met while working together in Washington, D.C. They both knew the market in Omaha was prime for a restaurant and brewery and decided to work together to realize that dream, which they shared.
The location in Benson served as a movie theatre in the early 1900s and was turned in to a teen dance hall in the 1960s.
