If you’re looking to start a brewery in Minnesota, you need more than a passion for beer and a thorough understanding of the science that goes into brewing. You must also understand the legal aspects that will affect your ability to manage a brewery.

I always figured that with plenty of people and lots of restaurants, a local brewery would fit in nicely in Rochester. Well, it looks like that day might finally be coming.

It seemed somewhat inappropriate to celebrate a month of Minnesota beer without ever stepping into a brewery to do some sampling. So we’ll wrap it up on this high note with a visit to Steel Toe Brewing in St. Louis Park.

Unchained 11 is named Old 152 after the official steam engine of the state of Kentucky. The beer pours a chestnut color with a slight haze and exhibits flavors of biscuit, toast and rye. Kentucky Common beers traditionally feature a “sour mash,” also used in the process of making another Kentucky staple: bourbon. Old 152 itself will not be sour but will feature crisp, caramel notes and a clean bitterness

To celebrate the season, Indeed is throwing a little shindig at the taproom Saturday, October 13th: And they’re calling it their first annual Indeed Hullabaloo Autumn Release Fest!

Kelsi, from Barley’s Angels, sat in and had a chat with Matt about Harvestor, the latest beer from Lift Bridge Brewing Co.

Flat Earth Brewing Co. is looking to move, move on up to a bigger space.

Yes, this month is about Minnesota, but to ignore Oktoberfest, would be to ignore the elephant in the room.
