Nestled in the heart of Downtown Hastings, Nebraska, Steeple Brewing is a cozy community taproom serving local craft beer, tank-to-table. Our brewery on First Street, is home to good company, good conversation and good beer.
We brew craft beer, inspired by the honest, hard-working folks that fill their glasses on Saturday night and do right by their neighbor on Sunday morning. Church, community and good beer are indelible parts of life on the Plains.
From the ladies preparing the potluck to that guy who falls asleep after every sermon, each of our beers is inspired by the colorful characters our brewmaster encountered during his time as a small-town pastor.
Willkommen! Few things bring people together like an ice-cold glass of beer. From uniting Vikings and Packers fans over a mutual disdain for the Bears to dissolving the most intense debates between taproom philosophers, good beer welcomes all and excludes no one.
Once the spatulas have settled and the flour has cleared from another funeral meal dust up, something is called for to broker a bit of peace. This easy to drink cream ale is something everyone can agree on. Just be sure to put everything back exactly where you found it!
There is a fine line between ornery and grouch, persistent and obstinate, stalwart and stubborn old stick-in-the-mud. Earl crossed them all and didn’t care. Perhaps this smooth pale ale would help Earl lighten up. It’s just cookies after church. It’s not the end of the world.
Everything about Arthur wandered; his heart, his tastes, and his thoughts. Which is why he graduated closer to the bottom of his seminary class. So with limited job prospects, Arthur journeyed to see what the world had in store. This one is for Arthur, the International Preacher.
Once your head trustees lock themselves in the belfry, it’s tough to get anyone else to sign up for the job. Though truth be told Ned and Wilber weren’t really all there before they spent their harrowing day slowly losing their wits with every last ring of the bell.
Our signature coffee stout is what most churches wish they could serve after worship. Maybe then people wouldn’t run out after the final hymn. Plus, after some of Pastor’s “sermons” you need something a little stronger than regular. I don’t care how strong Shirley makes it.
This is Wayne. He falls asleep in church. Every Sunday. Right after the second hymn. Fortune favors the bold and Wayne is, let’s say, bold enough to fall asleep every week. So enjoy this bold and flavorful porter and next time you nap, do so in honor of Wayne.
Our journey to bring a craft brewery and taproom to Hastings is well under way. Follow our progress, see our brewers in-action and find out how you can get involved. We promise to keep the sermon short.
