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.

Back in the late-1950s, Emmett and Phyllis Jacobson built the structure now housing our brewery. To honor them, we’ve brewed a deep, copper-colored beer with a full-bodied, more pronounced malty caramel flavor. Cheers to Emmett & Phyllis!

Steele County’s own Hope, MN, is home to Hope Creamery, makers of the best butter money can buy. We think you’ll love our fine dairy flavors when you toss back one of our Hope Chocolate Milk Stouts. Brewing with deep roast malts and lactose, provides this ale with its sweet, complex flavor.

Mark Knutson is at the heart of the MSB story, as one of the founding owners. We’re thankful for his many hours of blood, sweat, and tears from 2018 to his departure in March 2022. This blonde ale is a tribute to Mark, Amy, and the whole family’s impact and commitment to MSB. Cheers!

Tim Pelton, Matt Kottke, and John Hilstad founded Mineral Springs Brewery back in 2014 as a fun, shared hobby. When the brick-and-mortar version of MSB was realized in 2019, Tim and Cindy opted to join the new ownership group, bringing Owatonna its first operational brewery since prohibition. This Czech lager is a tribute to Tim and Cindy’s impact and commitment to MSB, upon his retirement at the end of 2021.

Saco Seltzer, a flavored sparkling water named after the Saco Church built in 1891 and moved to the Village of Yesteryear in 1962 where it can still be toured today. We plan to flavor the Saco Seltzer with several refreshing fruit flavors. We know you’ll enjoy MSB’s first seltzer offering.

Emma and Dr. Francis Smersh settled in Owatonna in the late 1800s, building beautiful home just one block from MSB's current location where three generations of the Smersh family were raised. This smoked IPA is a tribute to their commitment to Owatonna.

Somerset township is located southwest of Owatonna, and has a fitting name for the summer flavors of our first wheat beer, lightly infused with lemon. This is a perfect beer for MSB’s patio this summer, or for your own patio/deck.

Steele County was created by the Minnesota Territory legislature in February 1855, with Owatonna serving as the county seat. This Scotch ale is a fitting tribute to the hardworking heritage of the early settlers of Steele County.
