Bad Weather Brewing Announces St. Paul Grand Opening

Bad Weather Brewing Company is announcing the Grand Opening of their St. Paul taproom and production facility at 414 7th St. W., St. Paul, MN. A welcome addition to Little Bohemia neighborhood, the 1200 sqft. brewing operation is just a few blocks away from the Xcel Energy Center.

The newest addition to the growing St. Paul beer scene is scheduled to open October 9th, at 3pm.


Bad Weather Brewing Company was launched by co-founders Zac Carpenter and Joe Giambruno in March 2013 as an alternating proprietorship with Lucid Brewing. Lucid’s alternating proprietorship arrangement allowed Bad Weather Brewing, and several other brewers, to enter the Minnesota beer market. Two years and many beers later, Bad Weather is expanding their brand and opening their own brewery and taproom.

Making the transition from Lucid Brewing to the new facility is Andy Ruhland. After years of earning his stripes in the brewing industry, Andy will take on the title of Head Brewer at Bad Weather Brewing. Andy is an award winning brewer and has a degree in Intensive Brewing Science and Engineering from the American Brewers Guild.

“A lot of talk is going on right now on the booming brewery growth in Minneapolis,” says Ruhland. “I think St. Paul is an untouched gem. A relaxed, easy going city that is yearning for more breweries/taprooms. The overall reception here has been fantastic. So many people stopping by, I can’t wait for us to open our doors. Not to mention the fantastic water quality!”

The new St. Paul facility will allow Bad Weather to expand production capabilities to meet increasing demand. The taproom will provide an exciting place for craft beer lovers to enjoy a rotating list of unique offerings, in addition to Bad Weather flagship WINDVANE and seasonal favorites OMINOUS, FIREFLY RYE and MIGRATION. Four new beers will be available on opening day to compliment the current lineup.

“Our new space gives us the opportunity to really introduce drinkers to our brewery in a way that has not been possible to this point.” says Carpenter. “Increased flexibility in brewing out of our own space, and serving directly to the taproom will allow us to play with many more varieties of beer while keeping complete control of the process. We look forward to sharing our creativity with the community”

Rochester to Expand Off-sale Hours for Liquor Stores and Craft Brewers

Rochester liquor stores and brewers will soon have the option to offer off-sale services until 10pm, Monday through Saturday. Of course, Sundays are still off limits for liquor store owners. But, several Minnesota municipalities, including Rochester, have passed local ordinances to allow brewers to sell growlers on Sundays (if they are small enough to qualify).

The saga to help Rochester catch up with much of the larger cities in Minnesota began a few weeks ago when the City Council tried to appease all off-sale operators, brewers and store alike. The idea was to allow brewers to stay open later while still mandating an earlier closing time for stores. Unfortunately, despite the fact that they are different types of businesses, Minnesota law requires that permitted brewer off-sale hours must be the same as local liquor stores.

“Things have been working for very many years,” said Ari Kolas, owner of Apollo Liquor, which has six locations in Rochester. “Why change it now? There’s no benefit to any of the liquor stores …”
Valley News Live – Sep 19, 2015

City leaders took steps to correct the oversight at the September 21, meeting of the Rochester City Council. The council voted 6-1 to expand off-sale retail hours. The action should be finalized next week after the change jumps through a few more procedural hoops.

Council President Randy Staver was the only dissenting vote on the issue of expanding off-sale hours. Staver seem to have changed his mind on the issue in the last few days. Staver was talking about consumer rights and overwhelming support for the change last week.

Council President Randy Staver said that so far, the feedback he’s gotten through social media is “overwhelmingly in support of extending the hours” and is rooted in the idea of not restricting consumer rights. “I find that kind of an interesting argument,” Staver said. “I’m not asking this for me; it’s for the rights.”
Valley News Live – Sep 19, 2015

But, by the time the issue was back before the council Staver decided consumer rights are no longer a compelling argument.

“Largely I just didn’t feel that folks made a compelling argument to change the hours. I hadn’t heard that anyone had been truly adversely affected by the hours that we had in place,” Staver explains.
KIMT – September 21, 2015

Staver is the lone voice of dissent on the council. Other Rochester City Council members think the change is good.

I respect our new Rochester brewing businesses and don’t want to see them hurt by unnecessary regulation,” said Council Member Michael Wojcik. “Today’s vote represents a win for Rochester’s people and brewers who wanted the same rights as nearly every other community in the state.”

Much like the most of the city council, Rochester brewers are happy the city is updating the code.

“[We are] Excited to be on par with the other cities in Minnesota,” Grand Rounds brewer Steve Finnie tells MN Beer Activists. “Rochester is a great town!! It’s my home, and I’m excited to continue to make craft beer for the craft beer lovers out there. This change helps a lot!”

Not everyone is so excited, liquor stores least of all.

“At the Legislature, craft breweries “manipulated the political system … under the guise of being small businesses,” said Kolas, the owner of Apollo Liquor, a family-owned company that’s 50 years old. “We’re all small business.”
Valley News Live – Sep 19, 2015

However, just as when it comes to Sunday sales arguments, liquor stores could remain closed when they choose not to operate. This is how most businesses operate.

Perhaps it is time to quit pinning the off-sale together. Minnesota brewers are not asking to be able to sell wine or spirits to go. If everything really needs to be equal under the law, perhaps they they should start making that push. Instead of pitting mismatched license holders against each other, Minnesota lawmakers could start looking at what states like North Carolina are doing to attract craft brewers and start taking consumer rights seriously. That is, if consumer rights are a compelling argument.

History of Oktoberfest

Today is the greatest in beer drinking holidays. It’s the start of Oktoberfest in Munich and marks the beginning of the world’s biggest beer event. The season also brings out my favorite style of beer. Everyone knows about Oktoberfest and the great beers that it comes with, but where does it all come from? The answer may surprise you!s_o01_14560857

Horse Races?

The history of this beer and festival lies in the coincidence of the timing of the marriage of a Bavarian prince and the brewing calendar. In the mid 16th century, shortly after the implementation of Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law), Bavaria implemented another impactful law, which stated that beer may only be brewed between September and April. This law prohibited brewers from making beer in the summer months. This meant that most brewers would stock up on a Vienna-Lager-based recipe that would hold for up to 6 months so that they had enough beer for the season. Most brewers at the time would then have a stock pile of the beer called Marzenbier or Marzen for “March Beer,” at the end of September and early October that they wanted to sell off quickly in order to fill it with new beer.Adam_Pferderennen_Oktoberfest_1823

On October 12, 1810, Prince Ludwig, the crown prince of Bavaria married Princess Therese of Saxe- Hildburghausen and wanted to share the celebration with the people of Bavaria. He called for a horse race to take place in the fields of a fairground, which are now called Theresienweise or Wiesn for short.

(note: Weisn is not to be confused with Weizen, the German word for wheat or wheat beers)

The timing of the wedding was a fantastic coincidence where the brewers saw an opportunity to bring their stockpiles of their Marzen beer to offload onto the people of Munich. The horse races became a tradition and so did the imbibing of the Marzen beer, which has evolved into the Munich Oktoberfest held on the same festival grounds today.

Why September?

Oktoberfest starts in September every year and ends on the first Sunday in October. It’s a 16-day festival…unless the first Sunday in October happens to be the 1st or 2nd, in which case, the festival goes until the 3rd, which is German Unity Day, celebrating the re-unification in 1990.

Oktoberfest Beer

oktoberfest-2013
Gimme!

There are only 6 breweries in Germany that are allowed to use the word Oktoberfest for their beers by law.

  • Paulaner
  • Hacker-Pschorr
  • Lowenbrau
  • Spaten
  • Hofbrau
  • Augustiner

Other German brewers use the terms Marzen or Festbier to denote that they are brewing the Oktoberfest-style beers. In the U.S. we do not have a law that dictates the use of the word, so most breweries use “Oktoberfest” as a name and style.

Most Americans will recognize Oktoberfest beers as a rich Amber colored beer with rich malty and caramel notes with Sam Adams Oktoberfest as our iconic benchmark. You’ll be surprised to find out that most beer served in Munich for the festival is much lighter in body and color with flavors we would more closely identify with a Helles or Pils.

Ironically, the rich caramel notes of the Oktoberfest from the American brewers is closer to the original recipe than modern German representations. Over time, the German beers have become lighter in body, perhaps as a means to allow more easy consumption in hot weather.

If you’re wondering which ones to buy, last year, I did a survey HOMEPC - WIN_20140812_151006with some other beer aficionados and ranked 30 Oktoberfest beers along with detailed descriptions. Take a look at http://mnbeeractivists.com/newsfeed/oktoberfest

Here’s to happy drinking for the next 16 days! Cheers!

AB InBev Looks to Buy SABMiller

Are you a Bud drinker or a Miller drinker? Soon there may be no difference. Rumors have swirled for years about a merger of the two macro brewers. It looks like the merger rumors may soon become a reality. AB InBev (Budweiser) has announced their intention to purchase SABMiller (Miller/Coors).

No proposal has been made yet, but some estimates put a combined value of the two firms near $230B based on Tuesday’s share price. SABMiller stock prices jumped 23% on news of the offer.

SABMiller Stock

If the buyout happens it will likely mean the changes for the companies, at least in the U.S. When AB IbBev purchased Grupo Modelo (Corona) the beer giant was sued by U.S. Justice Department amid concerns of anti-competitive pricing manipulation.

If the merger actually takes place, and who knows if it will, the change won’t likely be a good deal for consumers, wholesalers, or craft brewers. Removing a huge competitive force in the beer industry will lead to a consolidation of power and resources. Look for objections to the merger from every corner of the beer world.

Rochester Brewers Want to Stay Open for Consumers, Liquor Store Owners Opposed

Local control of liquor laws, are they really all they are supposedly cracked up to be? For years the idea of giving the option of Sunday liquor sales to Minnesota municipalities has been bounced around. The problem with municipalities and the passing of reasonable liquor laws is that they are easily influenced. For Decades Minnesota has seen retailers, municipal stores, and distributors wield their influence at the state level. Consider how easily a city council could be ‘educated” with all that lobbying power focused on only 7 council members. Suddenly it doesn’t seem like a great idea for Minnesota consumers. The fine city of Rochester, Minnesota is seeing a version of that scenario play out right now.

Brewers in Rochester asked the city council to allow expanded growler sale hours to serve consumer demand. Area liquor stores fought the expansion of off-sale hours. The city comprised by granted only brewers the right to stay open later. Someone took umbrage with Rochester City Council’s ruling to allow brewers the option to stay open until 10pm. and promptly alerted Rochester city officials as to the legality of their ruling.

From Mn Statute 340A.24:
Off-sale of malt liquor shall be limited to the legal hours for off-sale at exclusive liquor stores in the jurisdiction in which the brew pub is located, and the malt liquor sold off-sale must be removed from the premises before the applicable off-sale closing time at exclusive liquor stores, except that malt liquor in growlers only may be sold at off-sale on Sundays. Sunday sales must be approved by the licensing jurisdiction and hours may be established by those jurisdictions

The Rochester city council will address the legality of the issue in a coming meeting. Meanwhile, it would appear not everyone likes being bullied by the Mn liquor lobby. City Council Member Michael Wojcik recently took to twitter to give his view on the issue.

LTS Brewing owner and brewer Brandon Schulz says, “Rochester has off-sale liquor hours that are more restrictive than state law requires. Some liquor store owners have cited issues such as family values and employee safety. I speculate most opposition has more to do with additional labor than anything else.” He goes on to say, “Stores and brewers alike should have the right to choose their own hours within the bounds of current state law. I’m hopeful that the Rochester City Council will find a way for local craft brewers to serve our loyal customers.”

New Poll Shows Sunday Liquor Sales More Popular Than Ever Among Minnesota Voters

A recently released poll from Public Policy Polls (link) shows overwhelming support for Sunday liquor sales from registered voters in Minnesota.

Minnesota voters of all political ideologies believe that Sunday liquor sales should be allowed in the state. Polls show that not only is a repeal of the Sunday liquor ban supported by a majority of voters, but that the issue is gaining momentum.

The growing popularity of Sunday liquor sales proves what we have been saying all summer long as people sign the petition to repeal the ban. With so much backing from people across Minnesota, there will be even more pressure on politicians next year at the Minnesota Capitol to finally pass legislation to lift the outdated ban on Sunday liquor sales.  

In April, both the Minnesota House and Senate failed to pass a bill that would have given liquor stores the option to remaining open on Sundays.  Although both bills were rejected, a law was passed to allow craft breweries to sell beer growlers on Sundays.
Latest polls show there was a 7% increase in overall support from a similar poll conducted in 2014. Republican opinions on the issue of Sunday liquor sales jumped from 52% in 2014 to 60% in 2015.

Minnesotans that identify as Democrats also increased their support for a repeal of the outdated blue law. 69% percent of Minnesota Democrats say they support repealing the prohibition on Sunday off-sale liquor commerce.

The largest increase in support for Sunday sales came from Independent voters in Minnesota. 71% of Independent voters support Sunday liquor sales in Minnesota. This is a large jump from 58% the previous year. Overall, Minnesotans increased their support to modernize the blue law by 7%, bringing support to over 67%.


Sunday growler sales from qualifying breweries have been legalized in many cities across the Minnesota, the sky didn’t fall. Over 7,000 Minnesotans have signed the petition at SundaySalesMN.org, and Minnesotans from every single legislative district have signed the petition to repeal the anti-consumer prohibition on Sunday liquor sales in Minnesota. Support for repealing the ban on Sunday liquor sales should only continue to grow.

Schell’s 2015 Snowstorm – Wallonian-Style Brown Ale

Winter is coming. Schell’s Brewery is readying their annual Snowstorm beer for release. Snowstorm’s style varies every year. Previous Snowstorm iterations have included a Biére de Noél, Strong Belgian Golden Ale, and most recently a Grand Cru. The 2015 release of Schell’s Snowstorm will be a 6.5% abv Brown Ale of Wallonian inspiration. Wallonia is a French speaking region in south Belgium. Wallonia is home to famous breweries such as Chimay, Rochefort, and Orval. Schell’s could certainly choose a worse place to draw inspiration for a beer. Look for Snowstorm to hit shelves and bars around November.
