September Pint at Yoergs

October's Pint will be in St. Paul at Yoerg Brewing. We were there last year about this time. It's a good place. Something different than the modern breweries we've been going to. The beer and the building both have some history. See the photo above, read the Yoerg story below.

They brew their own beer. But have lots of beer from afar. Like across the ocean far. September is Oktoberfest month, which for them means they will be featuring German beers and wines (along with their usual huge beer list).

They have beer, wine, and food (on a menu, not a truck). There is free parking across from Yoerg and on the street. There is also a paid lot at Metro State.

Last year Yoerg expanded to the building next door. They use this as an event / overflow space. We will be in that room. We're an event. We're THE event!

If you aren't familiar with Yoerg, I encourage you to go to the website: https://www.yoergbeer.com/ and get a preview. The owner, Tom, is always happy to talk about the history of the place and the beers.

And now a message from Yoerg marketing:

"Minnesota's first commercial brewery, the Yoerg Brewing Company was founded ten years before Minnesota became a state in 1848. It was one of the cornerstone businesses that helped build the city of Saint Paul. Anthony Yoerg was the first in the Midwest to produce his beers Bavarian style (in caves along the Mississippi River downtown Saint Paul) and they were the main reason Saint Paul breweries were as revered as those from Milwaukee and St. Louis before Prohibition. The brewery closed in 1952 when the last surviving Yoerg son passed away and the brewery was crippled by a historic flood. In 2016, the Yoerg Company was brought back to life,"

"A visit to the Yoerg Brewing Company is like taking a Time Machine back to the 1940s and '50s when the local 'Saloon' was the 'Cat's Meow'. Located on the Dayton's Bluff hillside just outside of Lowertown, The Yoerg Brewing Company has returned. We are brewing the legendary Yoerg Beers on premise as well as working with some of the finest, and rarest Old World European Breweries (in many instances, Yoerg is the only place serving their beers in the Midwest). A superb wine by the glass program with 16 unique, artisan wines under $8.00 a glass. We also have a splendid food menu of old world treats; Bratwursts from the legendary Usinger's in Milwaukee, a wonderful selection of pub pizzas, cheese and charcuterie plates, pickled eggs, soft Bavarian pretzels, Dutch Pretzels (hand rolled) and an atmosphere unmatched in the city. We've been called "the most photographic" pub in the Twin Cities for good reason. There really is nothing else like it."
