Zipline Brewing Co.
Zipline Brewing Co. was founded in 2012 by Marcus Powers, Tom Wilmoth, and James Gallentine in Lincoln, Nebraska, with draft beer available in November 2012 and its first taproom opening in January 2013. The name was inspired by co-founder James Gallentine's extensive travels in Latin America, where zip-line tours embody the spirit of risk-taking that the founders associated with starting a brewery. Zipline grew to about 40 employees within a few years and opened a second Zipline Beer Hall in Lincoln in November 2016. The brewery's original taproom location was temporarily closed for two years before reopening in May 2025.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
