Kinkaider Brewing Co. Timeline

Kinkaider began as a farm craft brewery located in Nebraska’s heartland. Surrounded by a century of pioneer history, it only seemed fitting to choose a name with tiesto the ambitious Kinkaiders who settled the Broken Bow area.

This is the community's brewery and a place to gather with friends, enjoy some world-class beer and good times. We create beers that will be sure to please about any beer drinker out there and hope-fully convert some non-beer drinkers as well.

Dan the Wiser is born

In 1958 a beer-drinking, Harley-riding, ponytail-wearing, hard-working, hops-loving bearded baby boy named Dan was born. He is more than a friend; he is our brother in arms. He’s a legend around our parts, so you’ll understand why we just had to name a beer after him. He is better than a myth, more than a brewmaster. He is “Dan the Wiser.”
