Bill Baburek, a beer collector and local historian on beer in Omaha, will present a “behind-the-bar” look at Omaha’s brewing history at noon Tuesday in the Sorrell Center, Room 2010.
Baburek is owner of Infusion Brewing Company, Crescent Moon, Huberhause and Beertopia.
Omaha has always been a beer town. The city’s rich brewing traditions started in 1858 when Nebraska’s first brewer, Fredrick Krug, settled in our riverfront town and started his company.
Over time the breweries that helped put Omaha on the map have come and gone, but that rich history and passion has remained and become resurgent.
The event is offered through the Durham Museum and UNMC’s Time Travelers program, which provides free museum admission for medical center employees, students, and their immediate family with a valid identification badge, while also offering lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.
Are the Time Travelers recorded? I have a tough time getting to them but enjoy when I do.
Unfortunately, these presentations are not recorded.
