Each month in Minnesota we feature a local craftsman to tell their story and provide you opportunities all across the Twin Cities to try out what they do best.  May's feature is made possible by partnerships between 56 Brewing, Craft Notes, MN Makers Podcast, Thrifty Hipster, Smack Shack, Ansari's, Ombibulous, and Ale Jail.

Brewer’s Recommendation:

Blood Orange IPA & The Calhoun Claw Pilsner

When you visit, take note of the robin’s egg blue paddle at the entry, it’s part of the brewery’s namesake. From childhood, Kale has had a love of the water and passion for boating that he shared with his father. Little did he know, his favorite number, 56, was rooted in it as well. Wanting a tangible connection to greet his patrons, he chose to have his family’s decommissioned paddle boat as a symbol, and put it outside the new entrance. A little while later, someone pointed out to Kale the potential headwaters of why he was drawn to his brewery’s numerical namesake. Almost hidden from view, faintly stamped into the metal of the aging family paddle boat, was a “56.”
