Check out the cover of the latest Beer Advocate, featuring none other than Brau Brothers‘ hop yard. Pretty nice. I haven’t read the issue (Can we still get it free anywhere?!), but it’s cool to see the Brau’s getting some attention from the big guys. Cheers!

Fulton Libertine at Bryant Lake Bowl
Yeah, so better late than never… Brian from Fulton dropped us a line earlier today to let us know that they tapped a keg of their new beer, The Libertine at Bryant Lake Bowl at 6:00. I’ve been away from my email today, so I’m an hour late, but… Anyway, The Libertine will be their fall seasonal and as Brian puts it, is an “imperial red, of sorts.”
Congrats Schell’s
Schell’s won the Legacy Award for the 2010 Minnesota Family Business of the year. Ted Marti is also is on the front cover of this month’s Minnesota Business magazine. Time to settle in with a Snowstorm and read the article! Congrats!

LUCAN, MINN. — For one family in one small town in southwestern Minnesota, the answer to the economic-development question comes in four parts: water, yeast, hops and barley.
Since 1998, Dustin Brau — yes, the German word for beer is really his last name — and his extended family have been successfully making and selling craft beer from the small town of Lucan, population 220.
Brau Brothers beers are distributed in five states, mostly in Minnesota. Dustin and his brothers Trevor and Brady, along with their father, Dale, take advantage of lower costs in their hometown and a degree of fix-it-or-make-it-yourself ability that’s well known to any farmer.
