About Scratchtown Brewing Company

Scratchtown Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom in downtown Ord, Nebraska. It opened in 2013. The brewery says it is the first brewery in the Nebraska Sandhills.

Everything is brewed and bottled by hand. The water comes from the Ogallala aquifer under the brewery. Each beer is built from four ingredients: water, malt, hops and yeast.

The taproom pours only beer made on site. The menu changes, and it has included a 91 calorie light lager, a witbier, a double IPA, an imperial stout with espresso and chocolate, and a hard seltzer.

Four local families own the brewery. The owners work the taproom, events and festivals alongside the staff. The entrance, parking lot, restroom and seating are all wheelchair accessible.

Before you visit Scratchtown

Expect a small town taproom where the owners often pour your beer. Only Scratchtown beer is served, so there are no guest brands.

The taproom does not serve food, but you can order in from a local establishment. The taproom page at scratchtown.beer has local dining and lodging links. Saturday hours start earlier than the rest of the week.

Check the menu page on scratchtown.beer for the current beers, because it changes. Four area lakes and rivers are close by, so the taproom makes an easy stop after a day on the water.
