🍻 Beertender Spotlight: Kris Koehler-Sandborg!
Meet Kris — IPA lover. Former college drummer. Secret juggler.
Catch Kris behind the bar pouring her favorite Paddlefish brew….Jolly Giant Hazy IPA
• Fun Fact: Once juggled teaching and custodial work at a school — at the same time
• Shift Playlist: Fleetwood Mac, Noah Kahan, and 70s gold.
• Beer Awakening: One sip of Spotted Cow = world changed forever.
• Most unforgettable shift? Let’s just say... unsolicited kiss.
• Favorite Place in MN: Farm Island Lake. The lake life is real.
• Guilty Pleasure: Anything starring Melissa McCarthy
“I’m like a human Funfetti cake.” Same energy. Kris brings it every shift — big laughs, great smile and top tier pours.
Catch her at the bar, soaking up the chaos and making it look easy — just don’t challenge her to a drum solo and a juggling contest. She will win. Cheers, Kris! 🍻

Wish her a happy birthday when you see her behind the bar this weekend!

Collect them all… or at least stock up on Mountain Mama ⛰️

🍻 Beertender Spotlight: Jason Sletta!
Meet Jason — Paddlefish beertender, sales rep, and everyday math wizard. He’s got a thing for cream ales, 40s music, and helping you find the perfect beer.
• His go-to pour? Boundary Waters Cream Ale
• Weirdest job before beer? Pig farm or stone quarry (yes, both—but not at the same time)
• Hidden fear? Marionettes. Especially Pinocchio. 😳
• Not-so-hidden talent? Growing a mustache and umpiring baseball. He’s been an umpire since the beginning of time. Happy MLB Opening Day! ⚾️
Come grab a pint with Jason—just beware, you might leave with 14 growlers!
🐶 Meet 4 of our four-legged Paddlefish Pups 🐶
Bjorn, Elizabeth, Bowie, and Winston are here to remind you that hoppy tails and wagging ales are best enjoyed at Paddlefish 🍻
Woof!
No matter what the weather is doing outside of Paddlefish, there’s always a cold one waiting for you 🍺 ☀️⛈️❄️🍺
