They had a local food truck, A Taste of Louisiana, there tonight in conjunction with their comedy show. The food was AWESOME. as usual. The show was supposed to start at 8 pm, but we were told we could get the food truck service if we got there before 8 pm. We got there at 7pm, but were told we had to buy tickets to the comedy show to purchase food since it was being served inside. So, $54 later for tickets and a 2 drink minimum plus the cost of the food, the comedy show was terrible. I feel they totally misrepresented their event by advertising the food would be available without purchase of show tickets. Plus, their beers are not good!! Will not go back!!! read more

We are on beer testing, short time. Hmm, no oatmeal stout here either. Unusual for both places we been and a favorite ot mine. This is real good also. As our previous test brewery. We like. No foods here either but scheduled food trucks. read more

First visit here! It's small, but cozy. Sit right next to the brewhouse! Great service... with free snack mix as soon as you order a beer. They also offer beer cocktails & guest taps& wine!! It's off the beaten track but worth the time! Definitely will be back!! read more

Backswing Brewing - This is the gunslinger.. oatmeal stout & james arthur cider. Two thumbs up!! - Breweries Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

See all

When googling Backswing Brewery, specifically in Lincoln, it was stated this brewery was dog friendly. We came for the pizza from Golden Goat but would have stayed for the beer. We are dog lovers and it's fine if this brewery is not but we would not have showed up if the internet wouldn't have said "dog friendly" Thanks. read more

Loved it here. I knew there was another new brewery in Lincoln, so one Saturday we sought this one out. It's tucked away in an isolated location (off of west south street) but used to be where the old Blue Blood was. I had never been to that location of theirs, so this was my first time coming here. Currently, they have five of their own taps, and several other guest taps from breweries around town. We tried beer flights of all of their taps. This included wheat, brown, oatmeal stout, and two IPA's-one that was a double IPA. I think my favorites were the double IPA and the brown ale. The brown ale was very unique with hints of chocolate. It was fun conversing with one of the owners, Pat, and another employee, as they explained the golf-related theme of the brewery (Note the backswing logo and golf tee taps). I loved the layout of this place, including the garage door that opens to the entrance and big windows that showcase the brewing area. We will definitely come back to try more brews here! read more

Backswing Brewing - Beer flight. - Breweries Near Me - Lincoln, Nebraska

Backswing is a new addition to the Nebraska brewing scene. On the way to there, I realized I had been to this location before but at that time, Blue Blood sat in this space. They had five of their own beers on tap including two IPA's, Wheat, Brown, and an Oatmeal Stout. I had a flight of all but one of the IPA's. Of the beers I tried, the Oatmeal Stout was my favorite. I learned that it's also their top seller the night before during their grand opening. The Brown Ale was a little different than I expected. I drink a lot of nut browns so the fact that this one had a chocolate. It was tasty and my second fav of the bunch. I'm not a big IPA fan but found it to be pretty drinkable. The Wheat was solid but not great. I suspect that in the future, they will have other brews available. read more

Great selection of beer, many many different ones to try. It's an excellent atmosphere every single time you go in there, my friend and I ordered a flight (my first time) and all of them were great. Owners are a bunch of good people, very happy with the bartender as well. read more

Really really enjoyed this brewery. The first time I went was at noon on a Saturday and they were hosting a beer tasting tour. The beer was great, I sampled a few different beers and settled on a wheat brew to compliment some fusion tacos being served by a local food cart called roaming tacos. I sampled all the taco offerings frrom Briskit, jerked chicken, sweet potatoes and more. Fabulous!! We just stopped in on a Wednesday for a Disney movie song bingo night that we learned about on social media and had a blast, once again the beer was great and roaming tacos was slinging there delicious fusion tacos! Great night! read more
