Loop Brewing Co. featured at Sept 12 Craft Brew & Sausage Fest

Somethings compliment each other perfectly, such as an outdoor event (the Craft Brew & Sausage Fest) in a beautiful courtyard during September, arguably Nebraska's most comfortable month, or the simultaneous consumption of pizza and beer (offered by the Loop Brewing Co.).
The latter of which was a simple idea that brought Adam Siegfried's pizza and Tyler Sue and her husband Tyler Loop's craft beers to join forces in 2011 to open Loop Brewing Co.
But in many ways, Loop Brewing Co. and its participation in the Sept. 12 Craft Brew & Sausage Fest is itself a great pairing, because both share a passion for historic preservation.
Loop Brewing Co. took on the monumental task of housing its brewery in McCook's historic railroad icehouse, which once brought the finest ice to that town and her residents as early as the 1900s.
The same ice was also used to keep perishables and great tasting beer cold to and from Chicago. There is some nice symmetry to its history and that it again houses home-crafted beers. This rustic and unique structure sits only a couple of feet away from an active railway.
"We don't have an exact date that it was built," Loops told the McCook Gazette.  "But it's approximately 100 years old... It's been a warehouse since the mid-1980s."
In the same vein, the Craft Brew and Sausage Fest's entire goal is about preserving the Grand Island Liederkranz, a German social club whose building literally formed the cornerstone of the city's founding and development of its downtown center.
The Craft Brew & Sausage Fest couldn't be happier to have a participant like the Loop Brewing Company, with its own stewardship of an vital historic building. Check them both out on Sept. 12 in Downtown Grand Island.
Loop Brewing Co. makes a range of great beers, including a Pale Ale, an IPA, an Irish Red Ale, a Brown Ale, a Cask Ale, a Porter, a Stout and seasonal brews, a couple of which will be available for sampling at the Grand Island Liederkranz on Sept. 12.
