I bet you thought this was some type of mean joke. Well Gretna it is not, and you should be excited about your new brewery - Heavy Brewing! Jeff Gude and Randy Fredericks, Jr. along with the support of their families have created the brewery that they had always envisioned! It was back in December of 2021 when I met the two at the newly acquired building. You can reminisce about the story I wrote here: The Journey to Starting a Brewery - The Inception.
I was utterly blown away by how the space turned out! It has a very cool bar, plenty of seating, a kitchen, an event room, and yes even an arcade! This is a family-friendly brewery that is going to be one popular place to meet up with your friends and family!
I was only at the soft opening for about an hour. I was mesmerized by the pizza coming out of the oven. So many creative pizzas that I will have to make sure to get one the next time I am in!
My first beer at Heavy Brewing was an excellent NEIPA called Lamborghini Mercy - 7.6% ABV. Mosaic and Azacca hops provide nice tropical fruit notes. For the soft opening there was a nice selection of 7 beers with plenty of taps to expand!
Set your navigation system to 20333 Patton Street, Gretna, Nebraska, and enjoy all the Heavy Brewing has to offer!
Cheers!
