Cut Spike Vodka
A launch release published by Strictly Business Omaha put Cut Spike’s vodka on Omaha-area shelves in September 2013 under the new name of the former Sòlas Distillery. The new name honored the city’s rail history through a term for a hand-forged railroad spike.
The start alongside Lucky Bucket
Cut Spike was a sister company to Lucky Bucket Brewing Company at the time of the launch, the release says. The vodka was the second spirit under the Cut Spike name, after its single malt whiskey reached local shelves in August, according to the release. Lucky Bucket says the ambition to make single malt had prompted the purchase of stills from Scotland.
The vodka’s launch announcement describes American grains and limestone-filtered water from the Sandhills of Nebraska. The distillery took a cut from the column and distilled it further for the vodka, the announcement says.
The launch release says the new name better aligned the distillery with its sister company. It also said the vodka would be sold at the distillery, then at 11941 Centennial Road in La Vista, Nebraska.
Cut Spike’s plain and flavored bottles
Lucky Bucket lists the plain vodka at 80 proof and describes it as made from corn with at least 48 hours of continuous filtration. The brand’s product page also lists Watermelon, Cucumber, and Pineapple vodkas at 60 proof.
A buyback and a distilling plan
Brewbound’s June 2023 report identifies Lucky Bucket co-founder Zac Triemert as the buyer of both the brewery and Cut Spike Distillery. He had sold Lucky Bucket in 2012 and opened Brickway the following year.
In September 2026, Brickway announced a plan to bring both distilling operations together at its Old Market site in Omaha. The plan called for keeping warehousing and whiskey barrel storage in La Vista and closing the public tasting room there in 2027. The company said private events at the La Vista Barrel Room would continue.
