Brickway Brewery Wins Three Medals at American Distilling Institute Conference

Brickway Brewery & Distillery (drinkbrickway.com), located in the historic Old Market District, recently won three medals for their famous distilled whisky at the 2021 American Distilling Institute conference August 23–26 in Louisville, KY. Owner and Head Distiller Zac Triemert and Head Brewer Mitchell Elmblad were in attendance to accept the awards. Brickway’s Double Barrel Bourbon took the gold, while their Rye Whisky and Sherry Cask Single Malt Whisky both won silver medals. These were exciting wins for Brickway at the biggest North American distilling competition. Brickway’s Single Malt Whisky has now won three international gold medals, a silver, and a bronze.

“I remember being here in 2004 with Bill [Owens, American Distilling Institute founder] and only 24 other attendees sitting around a table to figure out what to do next. There were barely over 100 distilleries then, and now there are over 2,000!” stated Brickway on their Facebook page. They currently produce more than 30 beers and 10 different spirits every year.

Brickway Brewery & Distillery opened in December 2013 and began by brewing just a few staple beers—a Brickway Pilsner, Omaha Stylee Juicy IPA, Jalapeno Pineapple Pilsner, and Coffee Vanilla Stout. Being natural born whisky lovers, their focus quickly expanded to distilling their own, signature whiskies that take at least three to four years to mature, depending on the whiskey. Brickway later introduced Libertas Rum, Brickway Vodka, and Brickway Gin, which are now served in many bars and restaurants across Nebraska. Brickway Brewery & Distillery is located at 1116 Jackson St. For more information about Brickway and to view their menu, visit drinkbrickway.com.
