Backswing started the way the best breweries do: three golfing friends, a homebrew setup, and a shared obsession that got out of hand. The golf theme runs through everything — the names, the decor, the unapologetic 19th-hole energy of the taproom.
The location on South Street is the former Blue Blood taproom, which gives the room some brewing history before Backswing even opened the doors. It’s a comfortable, lived-in space that suits the concept: this is where you end up after the round, whether the round went well or not.
Lincoln’s brewery scene skews serious; Backswing is the reminder that beer is supposed to be fun. Bring your foursome.
