Are you looking for a unique entertainment venue that includes great food, brewed beers, cocktails, pickleball courts, and a large outdoor game area? If so, I invite you to check out Ashland Brewing Company at 810 South 9th Street in Ashland, Nebraska. Opened in June of 2025, owners Tim and Ashley Uryasz had a vision to bring a brew house to life that would be suitable for all types of customers including families.
Tim grew up in Kansas City, but spent every summer at his grandparent’s cabin at Willow Point Lake near Ashland, NE. His family has a history of being in the restaurant business and Tim had the same calling when he fell in love with the Ashland Community and the people that live there. After graduating from UNL and spending time in the minor league baseball industry, he and his wife, Ashley, who is a physician at Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City, (one of the leading pediatric research centers) still felt a desire to open up their own place. After a tragic early morning fire claimed their first attempt at being restaurant owners in downtown Ashland, they waited patiently and strategically planned for the opening of the Ashland Brewing Company.
Fifteen years later this dream came to fruition. The large facility features two full bars with a twelve tap system, with beers brewed by head brewmaster Kyle McClellen, who started brewing beer at home and then spent three and a half years at White Elm Brewing in Lincoln. There he specialized in Belgium Ales, Stouts, and helped develop their new Lager program. After joining ABC he continued to morph into the professional he is today. Their private barrel room is constantly making new brews as they learned quickly in the beginning that running out of beer is not optimal. Now they serve four to five beers year around, and rotate in seven more as the season dictates.
When it comes to the food, you will not be disappointed. Driven by chef and kitchen manager, JC Schlisner, this gastropub menu not only serves what I would call "upscale" bar food, but brings to life authentic dishes like....
