Cinder Hill is a steep 60-foot hill on Linn Avenue overlooking downtown Owatonna. It’s commonly referred to as “Cinder Hill” because cinders from the power plant boilers were spread on the road to enable traffic to climb the hill. MSB’s Cinder Hill Cream Ale is a very drinkable, refreshing beer that would hit the spot after a few runs up and down Cinder Hill.

Built in 1855, the Owatonna Power Plant and its three-story façade, three smokestacks, and signature red neon lettering stand out as a storied local landmark.
