Febeerary's almost here!

January 29, 2012

I have become aware that some beer-related events are about to occur in the vicinity of our moderately fair city of Omaha.

Item: Enpyrean Trail 5K Run at Camp Carol Joy Holling on February 18, start time at 11:00. Sponsored by Empyrean Brewing Co. and Lazlo's Brewery and Grill, will feature food and 2 free beers with $35 registration (before February 1), $41 later. Out by Ashland.  They'll even have a beer brewed specifically for the event - Luther Lager (it's a Lutheran Camp/Convention Area).

Another Item: Omaha Beer Week, February 3-11. Various events, mostly involving local breweries, pint glasses, swag, beer-geeks.  There are apparently some beer hall type establishments here in Omaha that I haven't been - the Lauter Tun in the Oakview Mall area, and Krug Park in the Benson area.

So these are some highlights of the upcoming month for me. Two bicycle-related items of note too:
As I have mentioned previously, there's the 5 Bar-brrr-o ride next Sat (starts at 11).  Incidentally, this is during beer week, and the Huber Haus is having a beer swap meet event from noon to 3 or so -
