## About

We are a small craft brewery and taproom located in downtown Mankato. We aim to bring new beer styles to the Mankato area that use Minnesota-produced ingredients in each beer. At any time we aim to have a range of styles on tap, from hazy IPAs to lagers, stouts and saisons. We also have a range of mixed culture sours on tap and in bottles to go.

We currently have growlers available and soon will be selling crowlers as well. At this time, we fill our own growlers as well as certain clean stainless steel growlers. 

Feel free to bring in any food you would like, or order from one of the many menus we have available from local restaurants and they'll deliver it to our taproom.
