- Farnam House Brewing Company
Farnam House has hit its stride as a local microbrewery in Omaha. Not only do they offer some delicious craft beer in their brewery, they also have a full restaurant kitchen. Before opening, the two master brewers traveled to multiple countries in Europe to get the beer-making technique down, so go and see for yourself if they have mastered it.
