Spent about a 1/2 day in Omaha on Friday checking out a few places.
Beertopia-Great selection and friendly/helpful staff. Picked up some Kros Strain Fairy Nectar, which is excellent.
Farnam-The locals said this was on of the best in town so I thought I would check it out. Cool place and friendly staff. Didn't really enjoy any of the beers I tried. Hop Complex and Taft Stout were both underwhelming. I did try a pretzel and it was awesome.
Crescent Moon-The two ladies that served us were pretty clueless but that's ok. The food(Reuben) was good. The first 3 beers I ordered had all blown even though they were on the menu and untapped. Breaking bad knee deep was pretty good, Infusion Max's was very good, scratchtown sideburns was very good, and I ended with Surly Wet, which is always good. Not sure how it got to be one of the top 100 craft bars in the U.S. but it was decent. They probably have 30 or so beers on tap.
From the few times I've visited Omaha, I'd say it's has a long way to go before it reaches the Des Moines level but still pretty decent.
