Waconiator is Waconia Brewing’s take on a traditional German doppelbock. It is a smooth brew and goes well with a chilly spring day.

“Approachable Brews from Approachable People” is what the Waconia Brewing Company website declares, and after trying their flights and chatting with owner Pete DeLange and Head Brewer Tom Schufman, I found both to be true.
