Robber's Cave Nearly 150 years ago, a few years before Jesse James reputedly used it as a hideout, a brewery used Robber's Cave to store beer. In 1869, Lincoln Brewery enlarged the existing cave and stored barrels of finished beer as well as beer-making ingredients there. Workers for the brewery spent three years digging out the soft Dakota sandstone, eventually making a 5,600-square-foot warehouse space. The brewery was sold in 1873 and later went out of business. Since then, beer and Robber's Cave have only gone together in ways most people would prefer not to talk about. But the owner of a local brewery wants to resurrect history and reopen the cave in southwest Lincoln to the public. Brian Podwinski, owner of Blue Blood Brewing Co., has a deal in place to buy the property and construct a building above ground to house his brewery and an expanded taproom and restaurant. A big part of his plan also involves reopening the cave, which has been closed and sealed up since 2000. He also plans to use the cave as storage for a line of barrel-aged beers Blue Blood makes. "We'll use the cave for whatever we reasonably can," he said. Podwinski said he visited the cave earlier this month with a structural engineer who pronounced it safe and sound. He said everyone he's talked to about his plans "is just really excited about it." "I think it's a big deal for Lincoln," he said. A lot of Lincolnites have fond memories of the cave, which is just south of 10th and High streets. Its long and somewhat checkered history goes back to the Civil War era. According to historical accounts, early settlers used the cave to hide from Native tribes, and a duel was fought there in 1867. It's also been said the cave was one of the stops on the Underground Railroad that helped slaves escape to the north. An oft-told story holds that outlaw Jesse James visited the cave in the 1870s after visiting his mother, who lived in Rulo, but local historian Jim McKee said there's no evidence of the visit.
