We had the luck of winning some tickets to maha this year and I'm SO GRATEFUL for them because we…read moretruly had such a good time!! I was pleasantly surprised with how well aksarben showed up - I have never been to Maha before so I didn't know what to expect, but it was generously supplied with vendors, events, and other fun things to do. I loved the music and the way they were able to set up the amphitheater, they had great artists and everyone seemed to have an awesome time. There was such a variety of vendors you didn't miss out on any one thing -- from chalk, to jewelry, to lotions, to thrift tees, to skateboarding and a whole entire area dedicated to crafts and art thanks to mill work, there was plenty to do and enjoy!! I personally didn't go all day or in the afternoon time, I could see how you could spend about 2-3 hours here but anything more than that would've been too much for me. It a was a beautiful night and a great environment, I wish the Ferris wheel was open longer so that we could've gotten a ride but the line was as long as the street! They also had free water which was awesome to see how they were trying their best to take care of everyone who came. I was impressed by this event and hope to return next year!

Maha 2017 is in the books and absolutely my favorite Maha to date. Spent way too much money on…read moregoods from local vendors and, let's face it, a lot of $6 beers (shoutout to Lyft for the safe ride home). Main reason I loved this year is getting to see Belle & Sebastian live in Omaha. The crew from Glasgow is one of my longtime/all-time favorite groups and their set was magical. Really fitting/beautiful how the sun set behind the stage as they performed. Also saw The Faint for the first time in probably a decade and had to get down and dance -- because when you see The Faint, you dance. The drag I took from some rando dude's (tobacco ;]) joint helped with that. Hey it's what you do at music festivals. Great times all around and one of the best annual events in Omaha!

While I used to avoid this early year event, I have been frequenting it the last few years. I…read moredefinitely was unable to review it the same day as it appeared that I had three computers with about 1000 keys to press. This was the 11th annual Extreme and I am not sure if it is just me or what, but I didn't find it that amazing this time. My current favorite brewery, Madhouse, was there with the sours that I love, but now I can get them at HyVee. Not really a mind blowing chance to snag the hard to finds. Lucky Bucket had their Oud Bruin and that is the only beer that I like from them. There were a few new names and some great beers this year and I had a good time. It is important to note that you should have a buddy system here because you may find yourself wandering aimlessly for a little bit.

This event has only one review as I write this, and the complaint is mainly about the VIP ticket…read moresales. Tragic? Possibly, but that tells you nothing about the event. Over 50 breweries come here to represent their beers. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, come to try those beers. It's a great event, and I come for the variety. The real benefit of VIP tickets comes for those who want some time to explore the space before the crowds grow large. Of course, if you're a collector is a VIP glass is unique. Sadly, the VIP room beers are typically good but nothing hugely rare. They're almost always findable later. So if that's what you're worried about, don't be. The amazing beers are reserved for the time releases. This mean you don't miss any beers by getting the general admission tickets.

Had a great time at the Coffee & Donut Fest. It was totally worth getting up at the ass-crack of…read moredawn on a Saturday morning just to attend the VIP hour and get first sips/bites before the crowds poured in. And there was some really awesome jelly donut wrestling. It was sticky, sweet and full of pile drives, headlocks and jelly. The donut queen pageant was also pretty great. I heard donut jokes and saw a lady dressed up as a donut do some jazzercise moves to some groovy tunes. The best donuts were from Hurts Donuts, but Hy-Vee really pulled through giving away probably a few thousand delicious donuts to attendees. Great event. I'm sure next year will be bigger/badder!

Cool idea and much thanks to Hyvee for supplying copious amounts of free donuts, the glazed were…read morefor sure my fav. Lamar's donuts had a great showing with their complimentary donut holes, we really enjoyed the basic glazed as well as their blueberry variety. Am definitely looking forward to checking these out fresh sometime! Another cool vendor there was Pettit's pastry which had a collection about ~15-20 different types of gourmet donuts that was vaguely reminiscent of some of the donut trucks you might find in Soho NYC, we also opted for their blueberry donut and weren't disappointed at all. I think overall the event was pretty cool but would like to see more showings from other stores in the Omaha area hopefully next year! Great idea and looking forward to seeing this event expand, possibly an outdoor venue would have been more appealing!

Ive been here for a beer fest years ago and it's obviously a different venue when it's for sports. Amble parking, easy to get in, easy to get around. There wasn't a lot of lines for anything.

I got to Stinson Park a little early as Wifle dropped me off and I wen to get my tickets at the will call booth. They put my wristband on and I thought nothing of it. as I went further a volunteer told me that the after party was going to be cool and I discovered that I had a VIP bracelet. My friend and I started at the Maker's Mark booth. The tiniest sips were offered and I knew that it was going to be a long day. From the craziest cocktails that could be imagined to the most exclusive pours i have seen, this was great. Whiskey, vodka, gin, and rum. All the vendors were fabulous. Very professional and accommodating. I found a few new favorites and I have been enjoying them since. The best was HopHead Vodka from Anchor. It is really cool to see some of my favorites at local bars as I tend to choose them over the standard choices. I hope to get back next time! I will try to see you there
