BREAKING: Our lil southwest Minnesota brewery just won GOLD at the World Beer Cup—a.k.a. the Olympics of beer.
Vinter Liv, our Swedish Farmhouse Ale, is officially the best historical beer on Planet Earth.
Brewed in St. Peter. Judged by the world.
Stay tuned for a SPECIAL RE-RELEASE EVENT of our Vinter Liv at the end of May!
🫐 NEW MONTH NEW RELEASE: Tangled Up In Brew Lambic
“There’s music in this glass, and it sings in blueberry.”
Our latest First Friday drop is a jammy, funky lambic with a Minnesota twist—fruit-forward, tart, and just a little wild (like a certain Highway 61 local hero).
Pouring today at 5PM.
Only at Paddlefish. Only until it’s gone.
7.7% ABV | 5 IBU | $7
🍻 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!
