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.

Steele County’s very own Czech village, Litomysl (“wistful thoughts”), is renowned as the home of Holy Trinity Church, built in 1940-41 w/ 600 loads of rock from local farm fields. We pay tribute to local Czech history with our wistful Litomysl Lager.

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.

Somerset township is located South West 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.

Louis H. Sullivan was an American architect, whose prairie style designs can be found all around Owatonna’s downtown. MSB’s Sullivan Stout is a rich, flavorful beer, brewed with roasted barley, providing the coffee flavor. This famously Irish beer pays tribute to the famous Irishman Sullivan. On tap only – not available in Crowlers or Growlers.

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.

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.

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 Havana Township is directly east of Owatonna. Originally organized in 1857 as Lafayette Township, later renamed Freeman, then Dover, and finally Havana in 1869 (recognizing Havana, IL … seriously!). The hazy history of Steele County’s Havana Township matches the hazy flavor of MSB’s third hazy IPA. Enjoy!

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.
