🍻 Beertender Spotlight: Jason Sletta!
Meet Jason — Paddlefish beertender, sales rep, and everyday math wizard. He’s got a thing for cream ales, 40s music, and helping you find the perfect beer.
• His go-to pour? Boundary Waters Cream Ale
• Weirdest job before beer? Pig farm or stone quarry (yes, both—but not at the same time)
• Hidden fear? Marionettes. Especially Pinocchio. 😳
• Not-so-hidden talent? Growing a mustache and umpiring baseball. He’s been an umpire since the beginning of time. Happy MLB Opening Day! ⚾️
Come grab a pint with Jason—just beware, you might leave with 14 growlers!
🐶 Meet 4 of our four-legged Paddlefish Pups 🐶
Bjorn, Elizabeth, Bowie, and Winston are here to remind you that hoppy tails and wagging ales are best enjoyed at Paddlefish 🍻
Woof!
No matter what the weather is doing outside of Paddlefish, there’s always a cold one waiting for you 🍺 ☀️⛈️❄️🍺

“A Promise is a Promise” – Sweet Pea Gets Some Sweet Coat Racks! 🚐💚
We have the BEST customers, and Ole Johnny is proof of that. A true Paddlefish & Sweet Pea fan (he has his own blue VW bus named Neil 🛻), Johnny handcrafted these two amazing coat racks just for us—from the goodness of his heart.
Not only do they match Sweet Pea’s exact paint color (he color-matched it at Sherwin Williams 🎨), but they also feature authentic VW German hubcaps as the base! Absolute perfection.
In the photo, John is in the middle (next to his wife), and Keith Dorn (who helped John with them) is on the far right. Huge shoutout to Keith, a talented scrap metal artist who also did work for Mankato Brewing!
And the best part? Johnny is bringing LOTS of VW friends with their VWs to Paddlefish on Friday, May 23rd for a big meetup, live music (Squid City Slingers 🎶), and On Every Corner Mexican Cuisine 🌮. Mark your calendars—you won’t want to miss it!
Ole Johnny, you’re one of a kind. Thanks for making Paddlefish even more special 🍻

🚐✨ Sweet Pea is On The Road Again! ✨🚐
She was MIA from the taproom for a couple of days, but for good reason—she got a little TLC from the awesome crew at Nelson Imports in St. Peter! 🛠️💚 Oil changed, a full check-up, and now she’s ready to roll for the St. Paddy’s Day Parade this Monday! 🍀🎉
Huge shoutout to Nelson Imports for taking care of her and making sure she’s road-ready. 🙌 If you see us cruising through town, give us a wave! 👋

🎓🍻 Cheers to the Gustavus Seniors! 🍻🎓
Last night, we had the honor of pouring some of our Gustie Golden along with some of our other flagship beers and seltzers at the Senior Springboard Event at Gustavus! Shoutout to our beertenders Wes and Zoe for keeping the beer flowing (until we ran out after an hour! 😅). And of course, a special moment with President Bergman made the night even better!
From walking tacos to root beer floats and the exclusive senior mugs, it was a fantastic evening celebrating the Class of 2025. Thanks for having us, Gusties—you’re officially Gusties for Life! 💛🍻
