Cosmic Eye Brewing

This is a solid brewery, top 3 in Lincoln. Jess and I stopped by after a Huskers game in 2018. Dark interior, plenty of space. Eclectic metal vibe and non-stop Alice In Chains in the background. Crowlers and taps of their own brews, most of which are excellent. Separate room for kids to draw in (never seen that before). Comfy seating. Unreasonably expensive tasters, but I would’ve been more upset if the brews hadn’t been worth it.

Newest brewery in Lincoln that I have been itching to get to as I am a huge fan of Sam Riggins, the guy that opened it up. I judge this with a bit of aprehension as I am being kind of harsh. I want to like it but it wasn't a personal favorite. Set up in an old Laser Tag feeling and they've kept sort of that Indie/Hipster/Sci-Fi theme. Not my thing but whatever, it's not about me. Gave me a lonely depressed feeling. Loved the homemade long wooden benches and bar top. Staff seemed a bit pretentious like the I'm way cooler because I work at a brewery and listen to whatever is not mainstream. Again, not my vibe, but they were nice enough. My biggest pet peeve though was that tasters came 3 at a time in 6oz pours and run $10! That is overkill. Can't buy individual tasters either, so to try all 12 beers on tap, you'd be drinking 6 pints and paying $40 for it. I'll pass when it's beer that I don't absolutely love. Also located right next door to the City Mission/Homeless Shelter and off the main road behind some other buildings. I'm harsh but I also had very high expectations. I'll be back but not a regular.
