The Saint Peter Art Stroll is stopping by Paddlefish this weekend!
We’re proud to host father/son duo James & Ryan Pedersen, whose welded metal works capture the beauty of the modern landscape. You’ve probably already admired one of their pieces—we loved it so much that it’s a permanent part of Paddlefish (check out the last slide!).
Even better, the Art Stroll’s own printing press will be here—so you can print your own Art Stroll t-shirt while you sip on a pint! 🍺🎨
At Paddlefish, we believe great beer tastes even better when it’s shared in community, surrounded by creativity. Come raise a glass with us and celebrate Saint Peter’s artists this weekend.

🎉🍂 Oktoberfest is back, and it’s ON TAP NOW! Our rich, malty, perfectly balanced seasonal brew is here to remind you that life is better with damn good beer and good company. 🍺💛
Mark your calendars—we’ll be hosting our annual Oktoberfest celebration on October 4th this year in the taproom! More details coming soon, but we promise it’ll be worth the wait.
Grab your crew and come pull up a stool this week—let’s raise a glass to community, good vibes, and a season of unforgettable sips. 🍻

We’re honored to partner with Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership for Crafting Community this Thursday, Sept 18 from 6–8pm 💙
Come raise a glass with us in support of affordable housing and the incredible work SWMHP is doing. 15% of beverage sales go directly to support their mission.
We’ll have:
🍪 Decorated artisan cookies
🎨 Coaster painting (yep, paint your own & take it home!)
🎶 Live music in the taproom by Chris Bertrand
🥟 Momo’s Tibetan Dumplings food truck parked out front
🍺 And of course, damn good beer
At Paddlefish, community means everything—and we’re proud to come together around a great cause. Hope to see you there!
From before we opened our doors, Dave and his VW bus Sweet Pea have been part of the heartbeat of Paddlefish. Sweet Pea parked in our tap room became a landmark in its own right, even inspiring our On the Road Again Cherry Sour.
Now it’s time for a new chapter: Dave and Sweet Pea are heading back out on the road. She’s off to camping trips and new adventures, and while that means we won’t see her parked outside the taproom anymore, the mark they’ve both left on Paddlefish will always be part of our story.
Dave’s passion, kindness, and dedication to building community have shaped this place in so many lasting ways. So many of you have gotten to know him since we first opened, and his presence around the taproom will truly be missed.
We also want to give a shoutout to his wife, Natalie, whose vision and design turned our space into the cozy, welcoming taproom it is today—a place where community can gather and connect.
So here’s to Dave, to Sweet Pea, and to always finding your way on the road again. 🍻 We’ll miss you—and we’ll be glad to see you pull up again sometime soon!
Paddlefish Open Mic has truly been making a splash in the local scene, attracting performers of all genres every 3rd Tuesday from 6-8pm. Come see for yourself this coming Tuesday, Sept 16th!
