​Come on down to try it out with one of the 19 different craft brews on tap!

Stouts and porters are perfect for winter. They're a bit heavier than most but with the flaked oats or barley, have a nice, smooth finish like no other. The Shoepack adds an added twist with hints of vanilla and chocolate added to the mix. 

Come on down to try one out for yourself, with either a flight, pint, or growler to take home!

We have a special treat this Friday with David Allen stopping by from North Dakota while on a brewery tour through North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.

He's played here once before and it was blast, we're excited to have him back playing selections from his latest album, Lovers are Liars, Gamblers are Thieves.

The Koochiching County Historical Society is putting on their fourth event this winter and it's an update or expanded version of Women in the Wild, highlighting some of heroic efforts and endeavors that women were involved with in the early days of Koochiching County.

More info about the event: "March is Women's History Month and to celebrate, we are bringing back our "Women in the Wild" topic! It was a huge hit last year and our single largest exhibit ever made for History on Tap. Join us as we celebrate and talk about brand new faces; some may be familiar to you and others you likely have never known! We will also be diving into topics that include the social impact women have had on Borderland's society as well as their contribution to major industry. Our discussions will dig up conversation that hasn't been talked about much before--including the contribution, controversy, and success of women in the paper mill, commercial fishing, and logging industries!" Sign up at the History on Tap event page.

See you on Thursday...

Our raspberry brew was changed up a bit with the last batch, going from a reddish caramel malt ale to a lighter version loaded with wheat and hints of Chamomile.

Now available on tap and for growlers to go, come down and try one out for yourself or bring some home to share with friends.

I'm happy to announce that we now have our 2nd NA brew now on tap with the Gingebiru Ginger Beer NA. Using only ginger and lemon for flavor it's also considered a Gruit style without having any hops.

Note that when trying one out, it'll taste a bit different than the common ginger beer that you're familiar with. This is from two key ingredient differences, the first is the traditional ginger beer uses sugar versus we use malt. This makes ours more of light amber color and provides additional flavor from the malt versus the relatively flavorless sugar. The second is we added a number of peeled, sliced lemons to the mix, giving more of a citrus balance to the ginger, which we were thinking would make it a better summer beverage.

Also of note is this is our second NA brew available and now on tap. We've found the NA brews to be much more popular that we originally thought so an expanded offering made sense. This is mostly from people coming out to have a regular brew, but wanting to stay out longer and still be ok to drive, so having one of our NA brews is preferred to some of the more standard NA options such as soda. Not sure yet if we'll do a third NA style or not but open to suggestions.

Before the popularity of lager beers or the Ginger Ale NA, it was the Ginger Beer that was the most popular commercial beer in the US. Without any hops, it was a refreshing beer that could be made easily using sugar, ginger and lemon. Our version is slightly changed with using light malts in place of sugar and adding some flaked rice to provide a smoother finish.
