Steeple grew up with help from the Nebraska Craft Brewers Guild community, and it shows in the ethos: collaborative, unpretentious, rooted in Hastings. This is representative of how Nebraska beer actually grows — not through big-city flagships, but through small towns building something together.
The Hastings taproom is a straightforward, friendly room pouring house-brewed beer in a city better known for Kool-Aid’s invention than for craft brewing. That underdog quality suits it. Hastings sits at the junction of Highways 6 and 281, an easy stop on any south-central Nebraska route.
