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!
🍂 Fall is on our doorstep, and that means it’s Red Owl season. 🦉🍺
Brewed in honor of the old Red Owl grocery store that once called our building home, this amber ale has become one of our community’s all-time favorites. With hints of caramel and biscuit, it’s smooth, malty, and perfect for easing into sweater weather while we all count down the days until our Oktoberfest is ready.
Whether you’re cracking a 16oz can at home or pulling up a chair in the taproom, Red Owl Amber is a taste of Paddlefish history — and a reminder that the best beers are the ones we share together. ❤️🍻
Swing by the brewery this weekend and join us for a pint!

Plenty of reasons to raise a pint this September 🍻 From open mic nights to art strolls, doormat painting to trivia battles, we’re all about damn good beer, building community, and keeping it fun.

🍺 9/13 – Tap 2025 Shakopee: Road trip! Join us and other breweries in Shakopee for a day of beer tasting.
🎤 9/16 – Open Mic Night: Celebrate our local music community—every 3rd Tuesday right here in the taproom.

Come share a brew, support local, and be part of the community that makes Paddlefish what it is. 🐟🍺
Love is in the air… Meet Rose Hops IPA 🌹🍺
Brewed this summer for a pretty special occasion—our head brewer & co-owner Luke Rose tied the knot with Maya Rose! 💍💐 Together, they designed and brewed this beer with a West Coast backbone and hazy hop vibes (Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, Vic Secret & El Dorado for days). It even made its first appearance at their wedding, poured alongside our rebranded summer shandy (named after their tortoise, Luna 🐢).
It’s bright, floral, tropical, and just a little romantic. ❤️
Oh, and we weren’t kidding when we said small batch… we’ve only got TWO kegs of this one. When it’s gone, it’s gone. 👀
Come raise a glass to the Roses—and to the community that makes celebrations like this even sweeter. 🍻

We had such a great time at the Heritage Meadows Open House last week in St. Peter! 🍻
We poured our Gustie Golden, Red Owl Amber, and First Apostle Porter, and got to share stories (and plenty of smiles) with the folks who call Heritage Meadows home.
Nothing we love more than good beer and good conversation with our community! 💛🐟
🚽✨ Restroom Chronicles: Volume II ✨🚽
Not all heroes wear capes… some carry wallpaper samples! Big shoutout to Natalie, our interior designer (and Dave’s wife), who brought these restrooms to life and tied them perfectly into the Paddlefish brand.
We thought it’d be fun to highlight them this week because even a quick stop should feel like part of the Paddlefish experience…and because we’re flush with pride about them.
From palette boards to the big reveal, each restroom has its own Minnesota-inspired theme:
⭐ The North Star – bold, timeless and totally stall-worthy
🌌 The Aurora – geometric energy + bowl-d green tones that brighten things up.
🌊 The Boundary Waters – moody gray + water-inspired flow for a calm escape.
Swipe through to see the before ➡️ after story of each one. Which one is your next pit stop??
🎶 “We fancy like…” 🚽✨ Who says brewery bathrooms can’t have style?
At Paddlefish, we’ve got not one, not two, but THREE uniquely designed restrooms, all thanks to our interior designer, Natalie Long (wife of co-founder Dave Long).
Each one has its own aesthetic and feel:
⭐ The North Star – bold & classic
🌌 The Aurora – bright & stylish
🌊 The Boundary Waters – calm & refreshing
So the real question is… which one is your pick??
🐶🍻 Happy National Dog Day!
Bring your pup to Paddlefish this Tuesday and get $1 off your pint.
📸 Don’t forget to snap a pic and tag us 👉 @paddlefishbrewing with #paddlefishpup 🐶 We love seeing your four-legged brew buddies! 🐾
🌊✨ That’s a wrap on One Last Splash!
What an amazing day celebrating the end of summer with all of you! From beer poking 🔥, beer floats 🍨🍺, fresh-popped kettle corn 🍿, and BBQ 🍖 to giant Jenga, coloring tables, and plenty of rockin’ in the sunshine ☀️, we couldn’t have asked for a better day!
A huge THANK YOU to our vendors, partners, and every single person who came out to make it special. 💙

Flagship (and flashback) Friday!🍻
🦉 Red Owl Amber – 5.3% ABV | 17 IBUs | Smooth, toasty, perfectly balanced. Malt-forward with notes of caramel + biscuit.
Our building once housed a Red Owl grocery store back in the 1960s and 70s and we still hear stories from folks who worked here as cashiers, bookkeepers, and stockers. We even have customers who bring in old relics for us to showcase and also some who sport a Red Owl t-shirt. Who remembers when this corner was the Red Owl? What memories do you have?
From what we know, this Red Owl switched over to SuperValu in 1982, later became Total Entertainment in the 90s (movie rentals anyone? 🎥🍿), and eventually transformed into Paddlefish Brewing after other businesses have come and gone. Remember others?
We haven’t found many photos of the 90s–2000s era so if you have them (or more Red Owl memories or other photos), please share! We love seeing the history come alive!
Red Owl Amber: Smooth, toasty and owl-ways on point 🦉
No friend? No problem. BOGO means twice the beer for me. 🍺 Thanks @hoppassport
Another great turnout for Open Mic last night! Lots of new folks, plus our awesome regulars. Thanks to our wonderful staff holding down libations, @chasedburkhart / Chase D. Burkhart Music for hosting, and everyone who came out to support the performers and spread the good vibes. #openmic #originalmusic #allgenreswelcome
From St. Peter to the Last Frontier! 🐟
Meet Eric Buetow, repping Paddlefish all the way up in Fairbanks, Alaska! Eric made a stop at PF during his Gustavus reunion a couple of months ago and fell in love with our Gustie Golden Ale, as well as the whole taproom. Now he’s proudly spreading the word about our brewery wayyy up north, and we couldn’t be more honored.
Thanks for the support, Eric! Gusties and Paddlefans are all over the place! 💛
Sent to us by PF Lifetime Member, Margot (#34!) Thanks for sharing the love!
📸 Do you have a photo of you or someone else repping Paddlefish from afar? Tag us @paddlefishbrewing for a chance at being seen in the social spotlight!

📸 Brewery Fam Moment
Dena (left), Donna (right), and the one and only Bärli Jax 🐾 whose name fittingly means “big bear, protector, teddy bear” dropped by for some brews and relaxation last week!
We’re lucky to have such kind-hearted hoomans (and huggable canines) call Paddlefish their spot 🐶
