The Hot List of Minnesota Craft Beer and Where to Go to Enjoy Them
Minnesota has earned its reputation as "The Land of 10,000 IPAs" thanks to our thriving craft beer scene. From historic...
In St. Louis Park, Minnesota is a small brewery kicking out some big flavor. The family-owned Steel Toe Brewery has been producing west-coast style American ales and unique interpretations of German, Belgian and English beers since opening its doors in 2011. However, it took a decade of carefully crafting a plan to make it come to fruition. It’s quite a story. Kudos and cheers to them, because it means more locally made in Minnesota beer for you.
Let’s get to the Steel Toe brews themselves. There are four mainstays and a seasonal offering.
While the size of the boot might be a bit small, the intensity of the hop flavor and aroma in Size 7 more than makes up for it. Steel Toe takes prodigious amounts of hops and adds them any chance they get to this Northwest style IPA.
Provider is brewed to be light and refreshing with a slightly sweet malt flavor and floral hop aroma. Unfiltered to bring out the subtle flavors in this glorious brew. Let Provider take care of you for a while.
When you find yourself parched, Rainmaker brings refreshment. Brewed with caramel and dark roasted malts, then doused with a torrent of hops, this India Red Ale is sure to please.
Bold and complex from a tremendous amount of roasted malts, yet smooth and rich from the addition of oats. Dissent has its own opinion of what a dark beer should be.
We support all of the locally crafted beers, wines, and spirits. After
all, who doesn’t love tasting the love and pride in each sip that’s made right here in Minnesota.
You can find these offerings from Steel Toe Brewery in our beer coolers, or have them delivered right to your door. How’s that for service?
