Our Brewery was built in 1988 as Willet's Brewing Co. owned by the Great Grandson of Theodore Hamm of Hamm's Brewery in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Today's Brew Master, Colin Kaminski, has developed a reputation for quality, tradition and taste. We offer six special recipes year round and always an addition or two to celebrate the season. A tour of our brew House is always available.

All of our beers are brewed with the highest quality British malts utilizing traditional British methods by our Brewmaster Colin Kaminski.

Our Beers :

Lazy Summer American Wheat' This is our lightest beer. It is brewed with Tettnang and Spalt hops to give it an Eastern European hop aroma. It has about 50% Red Wheat, 50% Marris Otter Pale Malt with a touch of Munich Malt to give it a bready, nutty malt flavor. It fits into the American Wheat Beer Style. It is our best selling beer.
Tail Waggin' Amber Ale Our most popular Ale was named for Ladies that love to drink this beer and dance to the live music here. It is slightly sweet with a floral hop aroma. After 10 years this beer is still a favorite among the ladies and their admirers.
Ace High Pale Ale This Pale Ale has a nice floral bouquet and medium hop bitterness. As welcome as an Ace in your hand, it is often found in our Brewers hand.
Tantric Inida Pale Ale This hoppy IPA is high in alcohol and except for the American hop aroma, is very British in style. This style was originally developed to survive the voyage from England around the Cape of Good Hope and back North to India to keep the British troops happy.
Golden Thistle Very Bitter Ale This very hoppy beer was brewed accidentally, but of the accidents we have made, this one is our favorite! It is named to reflect the intense hoppyness that is like chewing on a thistle. This beer is the Happy Hour favorite to this day.
Stout Special All of our stouts are nitrogen pushed to give a creamy head. The offerings change in order to give our customers variety and we only have one on tap at a time. For holidays we often change the name(if not the recipe) for fun.
Old Magnolia Oatmeal Stout This high gravity slightly sweet stout was named after the Grateful Dead song by the same name. The "chocolate milk of beers", it makes a nice "Stout Float".
Catherine, The Great Imperial Stout Imperial Stouts were brewed to ship to the Russian Royalty. Like the style, our's is high in alcohol and very hoppy with a nice roasty flavor.
Other Stouts Specter of Worthy Imperial Stout, Slip Knot Imperial Stout and Worthy's Leprechaun Stout are some of the other stouts you will find from time to time.
Light Special This tap handle is reserved for a softer, slightly sweet special brewed at Colin's whim. Often a Dancin' Feet Red Wheat but, could be an Oberon Altbier, a Smother Operator Ale, Maggie May bock or something brand new.
Heavy Special This tap handle rotates dark and hoppy specials for the beer enthusiast. It is usually a Victory Dark Ale but could be a Dix ESB, Temptation Black Beer, Double Indemnity IPA or something by popular demand.
