It is reported, that this location is closed!
ocated in the historic Hamm Building, we are the second oldest brewery in town. Our restaurant and bar are the perfect place to grab a beer or something to eat before or after any event at the Xcel Center or local theaters. And if you feel like sitting outside, our patio is open all year. Check it out during the Winter Carnival when the entire patio is made from ice. All of our beer is hand-crafted on site using spring water from our own well. At any given time we will have up to nine of different beers on tap. We offer both cask conditioned ales and the more traditional pushed beers. We are more than just a pub. Our menu offers a wide variety that is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters. We recommend our pork wings, bac-n-beer nuts, or one of our other signature dishes. We can also host your party. Our banquet room can hold up to 300 people and we even offer brewery tours. Call today to be part of it all!
