Dave yes I like IBC root beer!
As for Falstaff, they did have a brewery in Omaha, it was the old Krug (?)
brewery that Falstaff bought to expand their brand. It was torn down a few
years ago. On a similar note, I was exploring south Omaha a few months ago and
found the old Metz brewery, still standing but most in great disrepair and the
spur off the CB&Q/BN/BNSF still there (doubt of the switch is still in though).
My understanding is that it shut down in the early 60's, just prior to the era
I model....rats!
