Holdrege’s brewery serves the rural corridor between Kearney and McCook — south-central Nebraska farm country, where a good taproom is a community asset. Lost Way pours a rotating lineup in a straightforward, welcoming room on 3rd Avenue.
There’s nothing precious about it, and that’s the appeal. This is a brewery built for its neighbors: after-work pints, weekend gatherings, a place in a small town that didn’t have one before. The craft beer wave in Nebraska is increasingly a rural story, and Lost Way is part of that chapter.
Easy on-off from Highway 6/34. Worth the stop if you’re crossing south-central Nebraska.
