February Beer Log

January 31, 2020

As the month of February begins, old favorites are starting to pop back up on tap. We have been hard at work keeping up with demand from our markets. Brewing batch after batch of classic Irish Amber. The tanks have been full since the production transition to solely Minneapolis. If you have been to the taproom recently, you may have noticed the brewers working later than normal and a canning line is humming one to two days a week. This is all in order to keep your fridges stocked and the tap lines flowing with beer at your favorite watering holes.…

December Beer Log

December 6, 2019

Dark…..Unwavering…..Delicious…. I’m uncertain if I am writing about beer or just the way the sun plays tricks on us during this month. I’m seeing the months of darkness creep upon us. So, in order to lift our spirits and pints, let’s give to those of us less fortunate, let’s spend time with our loved ones, and let’s hope for the Packers to crumble. The fall harvest has finally come to fruition, and we can reap its benefits through its earthly delights. Tanks and kegs have been filled. We have prepared, and are ready for you to enjoy the next few…

November Beer Log

October 31, 2019

November, the month that brings us the end of Autumn, and the beginning of the cold dark winter. November also brings us our annual Drink Like You Care campaign. Our fantastic distributors match our giving and make double the impact from November 1st through 31st.  In Minnesota, all donations are used to purchase locally grown, organic produce for local food shelves.  Some of our retail partners also donate to our cause, making  it triple giving!  We give, they give, you give. It’s a great time of year to pick up a 4 pack, 6 pack, or 12 pack…

October Beer Log

September 30, 2019

How do you name a beer and not offend someone? How do you praise the art department over and over again for making amazing label designs? I think you make a beer that exceeds expectations in deliciousness, and you can possibly be on the same page as the other do-gooders. October, the month to give all of our thirsty followers some old, but new brews too. It is Fan Pack season after all!! The beer has been brewed, the packs have been assembled and shipped out, and they should be hitting retailer shelves sooner rather than later. Crockpots have…

September Beer Log

September 4, 2019

September might just be my favorite month. The nights are a little chillier and my fridge at home is stocked with dark beers and Oktoberfest lagers. The kids are heading back to school and the weight of keeping them busy during the summer is finally starting to lift. On the brewing side of things, from the Pacific Northwest to here in the Midwest, hop harvest has started. Giant pumpkins are growing at a rapid rate, but Gretchen the Super Gourd’s sister will not be making it our way this year. She is going to be dropped on some 70’s or 80’s beater…
