Blue Blood Brewing Company Opens New Brewery, Taproom at Robber’s Cave Site

Blue Blood Brewing Company (www.bluebloodbrewing.com) has officially opened the doors to a new brewery and taproom constructed at Robber’s Cave and surrounding land at S. 10th Street and Robbers Cave Road. To formally mark the occasion, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held with the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce on June 8th.

In February 2015, the brewing company announced it was investing $1.5 million to purchase Robber’s Cave and nearby land to build the new facility. Twelve thousand square feet, including 9,000 square feet for the brewery, sits on this locally-known property with 500 feet of sandstone tunnels. Robber’s Cave was home to Pioneer Brewing in the 1870s, and has endless folklore surrounding its nearly 150-year history.

Access to Robber’s Cave will be located on a lower level of the building. Only minimal improvements have been made to the cave, where patrons will be able to tour. Beer tastings, beer dinners and special events are planned.

It’s crafted using the finest ingredients. It’s scrutinized for strict adherence to standards. It’s brewed to be savored among the best of friends.
