About Kinkaider Brewing Co. Lincoln

Kinkaider Brewing Co. Lincoln is a taproom in Lincoln's historic Haymarket, in the north end of the Lincoln Station building. The brewery says its patio is one of the largest in downtown Lincoln. It is a popular place to tailgate before Husker games.

Kinkaider is a farm craft brewery based in the Sandhills of Nebraska, in Broken Bow. The name is a nod to the Kinkaid Act of 1904, which helped Nebraska farmers and ranchers gain land. The brewery filters its water through Nebraska's natural sandstone from its own aquifer well.

The Lincoln taproom opened in 2018 and keeps its own tap list and menu. It is a pub, lounge and live music bar as well as a restaurant. Kinkaider aims to make beer for every kind of drinker, and to win over a few non-beer drinkers too.
