FS Hefeweizen has been a summer mainstay since 2014, and it continues to be one of our very favorite beers to drink in hot weather. We employ a bunch of really old school, old-world brewing traditions rarely practiced in the US to ensure that this Bavarian wheat beer stays true to its roots and really delivers on the promise of that elusive balance of banana, clove, and vanilla aromas. ⠀

When we said Crankin’ Foamers is “A Beer for When you Need a Beer,” someone commented “What’s your other beer for?” ⠀
⠀
Just to settle this, Crankin’ Foamers is like your comfy, reliable shoes you wear almost every day. It’s eggs and toast for breakfast, but not your eggs bennie or delicious French Toast special. ⠀
Foamers is designed to be a reliable crispy lager (4.5% ABV) and you can now find it where craft beer is sold and in our taproom.⠀

Now accepting reservations for our beer garden! And we have to say it because it has been happening more frequently… ⠀
⠀
Please cancel your reservation if you cannot make it. ⠀
⠀
We, like every other establishment right now, have limited tables and do not seat tables we’re holding for reservations. Sometimes we’re able to seat a no-show table with a walk-in, but sometimes we’re not. ⠀
⠀
Life happens. Been there. We get it. ⠀
Just give us a call, or cancel online via Tock. ⠀
Thank you!⠀

One thing we never saw coming is all the love for Crankin’ Foamers. It’s not a complicated beer, but it’s a beer made with the utmost care and respect for the ingredients and process. The final results speak for themselves: it’s a damn delicious crispy lager and we’re just thrilled you want to drink it with us.⠀
⠀
It’s now on tap and in crowlers from our taproom and 12-packs just hit stores. ⠀
⠀
If you can’t find a 12-pack at your retailer, don’t worry! More Foamers are hitting stores every day, and you can always find a crowler at our taproom. ⠀

We refer to the first day of Hefeweizen as “Hefe New Year,” which has been a tradition since 2014. This beer is perfect for sunny day drinking - it's a traditional Bavarian-style wheat beer, brewed with wheat and pilsner malts, a (tiny) dash of hops, and fermented with a very particular yeast strain that produces the characteristic banana and clove aromas and flavors we all associate with hefeweizens. ⠀
⠀
No bananas in this beer, just straight magic from our brewers 🍌⠀
⠀
Available from the taproom now and in 4-packs in Minnesota. ⠀

Why get a BFF necklace for three when you can just make a beer? ⠀
⠀
Dream Universe no. 755 is a three-way collaboration with @Blackstackbrewing and @Modistbrewing. A celebration of friendship, collaboration, and our three flagship hazy IPAs— Mirror Universe, Dreamyard, and Local 755. Notes of drippy pineapple, mango, and nebulous fruits. Soft and wonderfully balanced. ⠀

Calling all DIYers: We’re getting rid of some whiskey and wine barrels!⠀
⠀
These are furniture-grade barrels, ready for you to do something clever with them. Furniture-grade means you shouldn't use these for beer or any other concoction, but they’d look great in your yard as a table, a planter, giant bird feeder…whatever!⠀
⠀
Purchase your barrel online and pick it up at our St. Paul Production Brewery on Thursday, April 8th between 5 - 7pm. ⠀
⠀
Bring a pal to help you load up. First come, first served. ⠀
