The Opportunity
Steeple has spent eight years earning its place in Nebraska’s craft beer scene. We’re in the heart of historic downtown Hastings — surrounded by great restaurants, local shops, and a community that shows up for events, for each other, and for us.
The building owner is committed to the brewery’s future. Everything is running. It’s ready for you.
Under The Steeple
Steeple Brewing is more than a place to grab a pint.
Facilities & Equipment
A 5-barrel all-electric brewhouse. Hot liquor tank, brite tank, three fermenters. Walk-in cooler, full tap system, plenty of kegs. An on-site commercial kitchen you can use or sublet. Every piece of equipment is included — you walk in and brew on day one.
An on-site commercial kitchen space offers flexibility for food service or additional revenue opportunities.
A One-of-a-Kind Taproom
Exposed brick. Original architecture. Church-inspired décor that makes the Steeple name mean something the moment you walk in. It’s one of the most distinctive taprooms in Nebraska — and the regulars will tell you there’s nowhere else like it.
The taproom hosts a wide range of events, from trivia and live music to private celebrations and large annual community gatherings.
Loyal Customer Base & Community Roots
Steeple Brewing Co. enjoys an exceptionally loyal following, anchored by The Congregation — a 200+ member Founders Club – and the Steeple Social Club, our 100-member annual mug club.
The brewery is deeply integrated into the Hastings community through partnerships, non-profit events, and downtown celebrations.
Weekly & Recurring Events
Steeple Brewing Co. is more than a place to grab a pint — it’s a place to gather. Our taproom stays lively year-round with a rotating lineup of weekly and recurring events that bring the community together and keep guests coming back.
Regular favorites include:
- Trivia Nights & Music Trivia
- Music Bingo
- Live Music & Open Mic Nights
- Non-Profit Showcase Nights
- LEGO Nights & Puzzle Contests
From friendly competition to live entertainment, Steeple’s recurring events are a cornerstone of the taproom experience and a major driver of consistent traffic.
Room to Grow
While current production is optimized within the existing space, Steeple offers clear opportunities for growth, including:
- Expanded distribution and packaging
- Enhanced food and event programming
- Increased private events and ticketed experiences
- Brand extensions and merchandising

To everything there is a season
Why are we selling?
When we started Steeple, we had three kids and two spouses between us. Today we’re at three spouses, five kids, and a mountain of responsibilities at home. Thomas is running the family farm full-time. Damen is with the congregation at First Presbyterian. Anthony is an owner at IdeaBank Marketing.
We love this place — but we know Steeple deserves the full-time attention of a dedicated owner to reach its full potential. That’s not something we can give it anymore, and we care too much to let it coast.
