'''[[Brewery|Breweries]] in [[Nebraska]]''' produce a wide range of [[beer]]s in different [[beer style|styles]] that are marketed locally and regionally. Brewing companies vary widely in the volume and variety of beer produced, from small nanobreweries and [[microbrewery|microbreweries]] to massive multinational conglomerate macrobreweries.
The following is a '''list of [[Nebraska]]-based [[breweries]]'''.

In 2012 Nebraska's 38 brewing establishments (including breweries, brewpubs, importers, and company-owned packagers and wholesalers) employed 100 people directly, and more than 6,700 others in related jobs such as wholesaling and retailing.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Economic Impact of the Beer Industry--State Legislative & Congressional District Data, Nebraska|url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact|publisher=The Beer Institute|accessdate=28 May 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203091325/http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact|archivedate=3 February 2014}}</ref> Altogether 19 people in Nebraska had active brewer permits in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brewer's Almanac--Active Brewer Permits, 2004 - 2012|url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/beer-statistics|publisher=The Beer Institute|accessdate=28 May 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://archive.today/20140516153451/http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/beer-statistics|archivedate=16 May 2014}}</ref>

Including people directly employed in brewing, as well as those who supply Nebraska's breweries with everything from ingredients to machinery, the total business and personal tax revenue generated by Nebraska's breweries and related industries was more than $132 million.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Economic Impact of the Beer Industry--State Legislative & Congressional District Data, Nebraska|url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact|publisher=The Beer Institute|accessdate=28 May 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203091325/http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact|archivedate=3 February 2014}}</ref> Consumer purchases of Nebraska's brewery products generated more than $70 million extra in tax revenue.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Economic Impact of the Beer Industry--2012 Data, Nebraska|url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact|publisher=The Beer Institute|accessdate=28 May 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203091325/http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact|archivedate=3 February 2014}}</ref> In 2012, according to the [[Brewers Association]], Nebraska ranked 16th in the number of [[Microbrewery#Craft brewing|craft breweries]] per capita with 19.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brewersassociation.org/attachments/0000/6291/Capita_perbrewery.pdf|publisher=Brewers Association|title=Capita per Brewery|accessdate=28 May 2014}}</ref>

For context, at the end of 2013 there were 2,822 [[brewery|breweries]] in the United States, including 2,768 craft breweries subdivided into 1,237 [[Microbrewery#Brewpub|brewpubs]], 1,412 [[Microbrewery|microbreweries]] and 119 regional craft breweries.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brewers Association Announces 2013 Craft Brewer Growth|url=http://www.brewersassociation.org/pages/media/press-releases/show?title=brewers-association-announces-2013-craft-brewer-growth|accessdate=14 May 2014}}</ref> In that same year, according to the [[Beer Institute]], the brewing industry employed around 43,000 Americans in brewing and distribution and had a combined economic impact of more than $246 billion.<ref>{{cite web|title=Beer Serves America|url=http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact|publisher=The Beer Institute|accessdate=14 May 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140203091325/http://www.beerinstitute.org/br/economic-impact/economic-impact|archivedate=3 February 2014}}</ref>

Breweries in Nebraska produce a wide range of beers in different styles that are marketed locally and regionally. Brewing companies vary widely in the volume and variety of beer produced, from small nanobreweries and microbreweries to massive multinational conglomerate macrobreweries.

In 2012 Nebraska's 38 brewing establishments (including breweries, brewpubs, importers, and company-owned packagers and wholesalers) employed 100 people directly, and more than 6,700 others in related jobs such as wholesaling and retailing.[1] Altogether 19 people in Nebraska had active brewer permits in 2012.[2]

Including people directly employed in brewing, as well as those who supply Nebraska's breweries with everything from ingredients to machinery, the total business and personal tax revenue generated by Nebraska's breweries and related industries was more than $132 million.[3] Consumer purchases of Nebraska's brewery products generated more than $70 million extra in tax revenue.[4] In 2012, according to the Brewers Association, Nebraska ranked 16th in the number of craft breweries per capita with 19.[5]

For context, at the end of 2013 there were 2,822 breweries in the United States, including 2,768 craft breweries subdivided into 1,237 brewpubs, 1,412 microbreweries and 119 regional craft breweries.[6] In that same year, according to the Beer Institute, the brewing industry employed around 43,000 Americans in brewing and distribution and had a combined economic impact of more than $246 billion.[7]
