Brickway Brewery & Distillery

What Brickway Brewery & Distillery does

Brickway Brewery & Distillery is a privately held, founder-owned craft brewery and distillery founded by Zac Triemert on December 13, 2013, and headquartered at 1116 Jackson Street in Omaha's historic Old Market district. It operates as Omaha's first combined brewery and distillery since Prohibition, producing 30+ craft beers and 13 distinct spirits using custom-designed copper pot stills and Scottish-tradition double pot distillation. The portfolio spans American Single Malt whiskies (including Sherry Cask-Aged, Bottled-in-Bond, and the limited Triple Wood 10-Year), Double Barrel Bourbon, Rye, vodka, gin, rum (Libertas Colonial), moonshine, and cinnamon whisky, alongside year-round, seasonal, and barrel-aged beers in the Bison Series.

The business model is multi-channel and asset-light at the corporate level, anchored by an on-site tasting room, an integrated Foxy Sushi restaurant tenant, and The Borgata Lounge private event venue, supplemented by a direct-to-consumer e-commerce store (buy.drinkbrickway.com), keg sales for events, scheduled Saturday tours and tastings ($25/person), and a Private Barrel Pick Program that produces 140–240 custom-labeled bottles per barrel for corporate and nonprofit clients. Pricing is unit-based across channels, with whiskies retailing at $35–$150 per bottle, kegs at $65–$235, and event rentals at $100–$250 depending on day of week. The company has earned 20+ industry medals and is positioned as Nebraska's most awarded distillery, with interstate D2C shipping (excluding AK, HI, MA, OR, SD, UT) extending its consumer reach beyond the single Omaha location.
