Pint Nine Brewing Company is a craft brewery located in Papillion, NE, just off Portal Rd. Since 2017, they have established themselves as a neighborhood bar with a reputation for producing exceptional craft beer. Before we lived in a world of craft breweries and taprooms, beer was often purchased from local bottle shops and was served in a 16.9 oz bottle. The name "Pint 9" is derived from the common name for these bottles, which are a pint plus 0.9 oz. Founder and head brewer Jimi Watson has been a craft beer enthusiast since the mid-90s and continues to contribute to the craft at Pint 9. Their philosophy and commitment is one of tradition and innovation. “We stand on the tradition of brewers before us to create aroma driven American ales and complex Belgian beers. We appreciate fine German lagers and English session ales, but also, we crave innovation of one-off batches and barrel aging.” To add to their list of unique features, Pint 9 uses coffee from A Hill of Beans in several of their beers, including names like 'Frank Sumatra', 'Oso Cafe Coffee Brown Ale', and 'The Big Lebrownski'. A Hill of Beans Coffee Roasters is proud to partner with Pint Nine Brewing Company as they continue to create new and innovative beer flavors. Their combination of coffee with traditional beer ingredients has created a distinctive taste that sets them apart from other breweries. If you're in the Papillion area, make sure to stop by Pint Nine Brewing Company for a delicious pint of craft beer and to enjoy a top-notch brewery, with the feel of a great neighborhood bar. “We hope you enjoy drinking our beers as much as we enjoy brewing them.”

Karma Koffee is located in Omaha, at North 155th Plaza, and has created a community around thoughtful living and really good coffee. The name for the shop came largely from business partner Jeff Wilke’s passion for meditation, and the world of karma. This warm and inviting shop has no shortage of interesting decor centered around the concept, including a one-of-a-kind wall feature, made from a cross-section of a large tree hanging on the wall. Beyond the decor, the shop is deeply connected with local businesses. Sourcing their products from local connections is a priority, and can be tasted in their selection of baked goods, and of course in their fresh roasted Hill of Beans coffee.

You can find Hill of Beans coffee all over the Omaha Metro (and beyond) thanks to our incredible wholesale partners. We wanted to introduce you to some of these amazing people, beginning with Black Sheep Coffee House, one of our favorite customers from way back (even before Donna opened Black Sheep). Black Sheep Coffee House is a cozy coffee shop only a few minutes to the south of Omaha, located in Springfield, NE. They are best known for their fresh brewed coffee, signature coffee drinks, and scratch made baked goods. Hanging just inside the door is a beautiful painting of the shop’s namesake, a black sheep. The owner, Donna Friday, says the name came from her desire to "do her own thing”. For many years she was a coffee franchise owner, but eventually decided her scratch-made baked goods and drink ideas didn’t fit in the corporate box anymore. This was the beginning of Black Sheep, where they do things a little differently, because “different is good.” “Living local” is clearly part of the DNA at Black Sheep Coffee House. You can feel the community connection that runs through every part of the business. It’s a place where most customers are known by name, and the staff acts like family. The paintings on the wall were done by local artist Robin Nelson, who has a studio just down the street. The savory scones and various baked goods were made in the back room by the same person serving them to you. It all works together to create a place that feels like home, only with way better coffee. We’d highly recommend a visit to Black Sheep Coffee House. It’s different in all the best ways, and we applaud their commitment to really good coffee, and building local community spirit. Just like we like to say: Real Coffee. Real People.
