A couple folks have asked about the bugeater name. I am a native of Nebraska. Until the last couple of years, Nebraska has had a reputation of being a big football powerhouse. It seems like every other business around here has a name using "Go Big Red" or "Cornhusker". I wanted a name for my brewing operation that reflected my Nebrska heritage, but avoiding the cliche names. Going back in history a bit, the Nebraska football team with by the nickname "Nebraska Bugeaters" from the time we first had a team up until 1905 when they became the "Cornhuskers".
This sounded like enough of an off the wall name to suit me, so I use it. I don't normally eat bugs nor use them in my brew. I do pick them out of the boil now and then when they fall in but I don't think it would matter much if I left them in.
