Johnnie Byrd Brewing Company

Born in Nebraska live in Phoenix AZ last 17 years. Johnie Byrd is one of the nicest and funniest cocktail bars I have been in. If you are in the Wayne area you must stop in for a cocktail, local wine or micro brew.

It was on the day of our visit that I learned what a Nebraska Benefit Corporation is, as I was given the rundown on how Johnnie Byrd operates and how it gives back to the community that it serves and whose thirst quenches. Our flight+one allowed us to sample all seven of the current tap offerings, and found a few that we really enjoyed. It was also appreciated to see that they had an 11 am opening time on Saturdays -- it was a great way to kick off a weekend.

The bar keeper likes to keep you from using your first amendment rights. If he doesn't like what you're talking about, he likes to silence you. It's a snowflake kind of place. Only good beer was the porter anyway. So you're not missing much skipping out on this place.

Decided to make a detour and stop in for a beer. Both beers we ordered were fabulous. I had a sour and my husband had an IPA. Greg and his wife Kelly were super friendly and we loved hearing all about the business . We will definitely be making another detour soon. If you have not checked this place out, you are missing out!

Young gentleman working was very rude and very unhelpful when I asked for his recommendation. Would not recommend this place as the customer service was horrible.

We were just passing through Wayne when I saw this brewery and stopped. It wasn't open, but the owner was outside and let us come in to purchase some growlers to go (clearly he could tell I needed a drink after having a day with the kiddos;)) He was so gracious and friendly. I appreciated his genuine hospitality. I purchased 2 flavors of their beer and they were both amazing! The milk stout was definitely my all time favorite! I'm not a micro-brew snob but I've been around a block or 2 and would recommend Jonnie Byrd to anyone heading in the general vicinity of Wayne, NE! I can't wait for another road trip through Wayne to grab some more of their deliciousness!! 100% worth the stop! Thanks for helping a mama out!
