Growler Special


Here's the best deal going.

Monday and Wednesdays you can refill your growler for $5. Yep, five bucks.

With the price of beer going skyward you can't beat this
and you get to support your local brewery to boot.

The Big Dump

Central Minnesota got hit hard with snow overnight. A guy still has to brew, so away I went this morning in crappy road conditions.
10 barrels of brew later, some shoveling at home a managers meeting at 2pm and the gig tonight.
A good productive day.
The Cannery Row show will go on as scheduled tonight. The roads really are not that bad now. Come and listen.

Cannery Row-Friday-McCann's

We will be playing at McCann's on Friday the 11th. 8pm start. We will be playing upstairs instead of downstairs; sorry for the confusion.
Added maple syrup to the next seasonal today. I wanted to wait for the active part of fermentation to slow down a bit so the maple aroma would not get scrubbed off. We'll see if it works.
I have had trouble finding a local maple syrup producer, so I had to go the store for some. I purchased 100% pure grade A. $75 of syrup and the cashier didn't bat an eye. She probably thought I had one hell of a pancake breakfast coming up.
I may do a post fermentation addition, so if anyone knows a local producer let me know.

Cannery Row Show Canceled

Due to a double booked room we will not be playing Friday. We are working on other dates. I'll keep you posted.

UPDATE 4/7: Looks like we may still play Friday-upstairs. Stay tuned.

Cannery Row-McCann's April 11th

Cannery Row will be playing downstairs at McCann's once again on April 11th, 7-10pm. Can't beat a night of good music and beer I always say.
I spent most of yesterday trying to track down ingredients for a upcoming seasonal. This one is going to be something special I think. Lets just say it was inspired by a dark choclate candy bar that had candied orange peel in it. I'll leave it at that for now.
After getting dumped on with more snow again yesterday, things are melting here pretty well today. I'm more than ready for spring at this point.

Black Forest Bock on Tap


Here's the 411:


We are pleased to introduce our first lager Black Forest Bock. Bock in German translates to goat and this beer has plenty of kick. German monks would brew these strong lagers to get them through their fast during lent. Our version is a bit of a hybrid Schwarz(black)Beer/Bock. Starting with a traditional bock base we added some black malt to add a soft roastyness. A deep dark mahogany color with a caramel, toasty/raisin bread sweet malt character you will enjoy.
7.3% ABV
