Earlier today, WJON reported that Cold Spring will discontinue the Gluek brand as well as it’s Cold Spring line of craft beers. Cold Spring’s Doug Degeest said that the move to discontinue Gluek came because the company couldn’t keep up with production. The Cold Spring craft beers, on the other hand, are being discontinued because they weren’t meeting sales goals.

Gluek dates back to 1857 when Gottlieb Gluek launched the launched the Mississippi Brewing Company in Minneapolis. The brand survived prohibition, an acquisition by G Heilman in the 60s and fell under the wing of Cold Spring in the 90s. Cold Spring retains the Gluek brand trademark, so you never know if Gluek willl reappear again someday.

This position will include but not be limited to working in the warehouse and other production areas. The job is full-time and paid hourly with overtime pay awarded for any hours worked over eight in a day or any worked on the weekend. This position will report to the Purchasing Agent.

I must admit I haven’t heard about this project and I live in SLP… Jason Schoneman’s Steel Toe Brewery got a nice write-up in the Sun newspaper the other day. Check it out.
