About Bottle Rocket Brewing Co.
Bottle Rocket Brewing Co. is a brewery in Seward, Nebraska, with its taproom inside the historic Campbell's Seed Company Mill. The mill was built in 1947 and still has its original brick, elevators and grain bins. Gerald Homp founded the brewery in 2014, and the taproom opened in October 2015.
More than twelve taps pour a mix of ales and lagers. The regular beers include Bottle Rocket Blonde, Juicy Burst IPA, Blueberry Bomb and M-80. Many of them are also sold in stores across Nebraska.
Food Truck Fridays bring a different truck each week, and the trucks come from across the state. A monthly cornhole tournament is on the calendar too.
A big event space was added to the back of the building in 2016. There is also a beer garden, a loft and the old upstairs mill room, all open for private parties. The entrance and parking lot are wheelchair accessible.
