Beer List

Cinder Hill is a steep 60 foot hill on Linn Avenue overlooking downtown Owatonna, and is used by local athletes for training.  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.

The Kaplan family has been synonymous with success in Owatonna for over 150 years. The crisp, clean old world flavor of Kölsch will take you back in time to revel in those successes. This is a refreshing German beer that draws you in to that second Kölsch.

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!

The southern fifth of Minnesota has shared the 507 area code since 1954. We’re dialing in the sweet, malty flavors with this southern Minnesota favorite brown ale.

Beer garden sales are a key figure in the Steele County Free Fair’s attendance calculation. How cool is that? Our golden ale may very well drive up SCFF attendance figures with its smooth finish and flavor.

Steele County was created by the Minnesota Territory legislature in February 1855, and is named after prominent early settler, Franklin Steele. This Scotch ale is a fitting tribute to Steele’s Scottish lineage.

From class rings to Super Bowl rings, Owatonna’s Otto Josten left his mark, still alive today in the hundreds of employees working at Jostens. Our Ringmaker Rye IPA balances malty richness with that great hoppy character you expect in a great IPA.

Herb Joesting became known as the “Owatonna Thunderbolt” when he was an All-American fullback at the University of Minnesota. This American IPA will give you the hops and energy to thunder down the road of life.

The healing water of Owatonna’s Mineral Springs makes its way to the Straight River, rolling directly west of MSB’s brewery and taproom. This ‘lazy river’ imagery perfectly aligns with this hazy, citrusy, thirst-quenching IPA.

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.
