Sad news today that the Minnesota Brewing Company is being closed and will not likely be reopened in the future. The old plant in St. Paul which once brewed Schmidt had been producing the Grain Belt line which was its top seller. They also did contract work for a number of other beverages including Mike's Hard Lemonade.
According to the Strib story Summit or Schell's might be interested in picking up Grain Belt Premium if the price is right. It would be a shame if the rich historical name of Grain Belt would disappear from the local scene. If you have a chance tonight hoist a Premo or two in honor of the fallen brewery.
