🪵 🪓 SPECIALTY BEER ALERT 🪵 🪓

Introducing our (Paul) Bunyan Hops American IPA, available on tap this week!

ABV 6.4%
53 IBUs

We brewed this one in Paul Bunyan’s honor, because nothing screams ‘lumberjack’ quite like an American IPA.

We packed a piney and floral aroma into this brew, reminiscent of a stroll through the dense forest, just like Paul was used to. A solid, clean and fresh hoppy taste with Centennial and Chinook hops, and a hint of malt in support, this IPA is sure to make you want to chop some wood and split a beer in half.

We’re open our normal Wednesday—Sunday hours this week, with TRIVIA starting next Wednesday, April 10th @7pm!! See you in the taproom!

Tap into the luck of the Irish at Paddlefish this St. Patrick’s Day!🍀🍺 Come celebrate with us!

Today we’re serving up some specials with some special hours, open NOW-9PM!

LEPRECHAUN LAGER🍺
A light, crisp, and clean lager, with a festive green hue and smooth taste! Some say this leprechaun is distant cousins with the Engessers!

SPECIALTY BEER ALERT⚠️

Introducing our Vinter Liv Swedish Farmhouse Ale, available on tap today!

ABV 7.2 %

Immerse yourself in the Nordic winter experience with our Vinter Liv Farmhouse Ale, inspired by the traditional Gotlandsricke style. Brewed with a blend of birch leaves, juniper berries, and kveik yeast that we imported directly from Norway, the juniper fruitiness of this beer intertwines harmoniously with the earthy notes of birch, creating a unique and dynamic flavor profile that reflects the rugged beauty of the region🏔️

We are partnering with our friends at @swedishkontur in Saint Peter to bring you “Vinter Liv”! Swedish for “Winter Life”, it refers to celebrating the beauty of winter. Grab your clogs and hit to sauna, this beer is made for enjoying all winter long! It’s even Dala horse approved!

Cheers to enjoying the last few weeks of winter, and our first specialty beer! 🍻❄️

We’re open today 2-10 pm, see ya in the taproom!

🐟Introducing Jonas & the Paddlefish 🐟

Step into our taproom and journey to the back wall where awe & wonder await 🔮 Behold a stunning masterpiece crafted from reclaimed scrap metal - the Paddlefish, born from the hands of metal artist, Jonas Habben.

Jonas poured his heart and soul into shaping every piece and every curve of this creature, ensuring the Paddlefish’s essence shines through. Its form, flow, and sheer uniqueness now grace our space, inviting you to explore the depths of creativity and learning what the heck a paddlefish is.

Cheers to Jonas! (He is also the one who crafted our fancy steel tap towers where our beer flows through) 🍺

True love is hugging a 10 barrel fermentation tank that you’ve so desperately been waiting for.

Thank you to @dualcitizenbrewing and to St. Peter Lumber Company for your help!

We are thankful that St. Peter Lumber is only 150 feet away and they can cruise on over with their forklift.

TAPROOM WILL BE CLOSED WED, FEB 21ST TO INSTALL NEW TANKS.

Even though we’re closed for Valentine’s Day today, here’s what’s on tap the rest of the week! We’ll reopen at 3pm tomorrow 🍻 We take pride in our signage!

Welp, it’s a good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless! We need to resupply ourselves with enough beer for you to drink 🍺 This means our taproom will be closed this Wed-Fri in order to help us build up our keg count. Luckily, we have a 10bbl fermentation vessel on its way so this hopefully won’t happen again!

We are so incredibly humbled and excited by the amount of support we have received in the last four weeks. It has truly been life-changing for us, so thank you! We are excited to see you all this weekend.

We’ll have our Mountain Mama West Coast IPA, Jolly Giant Hazy IPA, First Apostle Porter, our rotating seltzers and various N/A options available on tap!

Highlighting our eighth and final flagship brew, our Gustie Golden Ale! We even had some VIP Gustavus Adolphus College Staff & Faculty get in on the celebration 🎉 Gustavus President Rebecca Bergman had the honor of pouring the first pint 🍺

Gustie Golden Ale:
A radiant and inviting brew crafted with Maris Otter Pale malt, flaked corn and flaked barley, this golden ale delivers a harmonious blend of malt sweetness with a touch of crispness. Cluster hops add a subtle, floral aroma and a hint of citrus to the mix. The result is a refreshing, easy-drinking beer with a golden hue that’s sure to brighten your day. Raise a glass to the Gustie Golden Ale, a true testament to golden perfection!

ABV 4.6%

Gustie Golden Ale background:
Since two-thirds of our owners are Gustie alumni, it felt right to raise a glass to where we started. After all, we couldn’t have done it without our alma mater.
Three cheers for the Gusties! Beat ‘em, bust
‘em! That’s our custom! Gusties will shine!

Lindsey to the rescue! Meet our fancy dancy Director of Hospitality & Guest Relations!

Lindsey has spent countless hours collecting plants and keeping them safe and sound before making their official move to our taproom about one week ago! 🪴

We also love our history here at Paddlefish, so we’ve dedicated one of our walls to photos of St. Peter’s past — a project facilitated by Lindsey 📸

She’s sure to make you feel welcome whenever you see her so give her a smile, a wave, and raise your glass! 👋😀🍻
