DAM. FINE. BEER.
Brewed with heart, from the heart of Minnesota.

Our story
Conceived over several pints. Like all good things.
Co-founder Matt Studer made a decent beer in his garage — but knew a production brewery was out of his wheelhouse. So over a few more pints, Chris Laumb, a 20-year veteran of professional brewing, joined as co-founder and brewmaster. And so began the crafting of award-winning local beers.
Named one of Forbes' 50 fastest-growing breweries in the United States, we grew from a four-beer taproom to a 10,000-square-foot production facility — over 50 beers, 27 distributors, 4 states. When the pandemic upended the industry, we returned to what built us in the first place: our taproom. The same beers you've come to know and love still flow where they always have.
"We're not just here to brew great beer — we're here to build a better community."
Dam. Fine. Giving.
Tending for a Cause
Every other Wednesday, local nonprofits take over the taps. $1 from each pint and all tips from the night go straight to the cause. It's our way of giving back to the community that built us.
FAQ
You've got questions. Here are some answers.
Why can't I find Beaver Island beer in liquor stores anymore?
We discontinued packaging for wholesale effective January 1, 2023, so our beer is no longer sold in liquor stores or served at bars and restaurants. We hope you'll join us at the taproom for a pint instead!
Do you allow dogs in your taproom?
We welcome well-behaved, leashed dogs on the patio, and inside the taproom on a case-by-case basis. If a disruptive situation arises, you may be asked to take your dog home.
Do you have growlers and/or crowlers available?
Growlers, yes! Crowlers, no. We also have six-packs available — per state law, limited to one per customer per day. Bring some friends if you'd like to take home more than one.
Do you offer non-alcoholic or gluten-free options?
No NA or gluten-free beers on tap at this time, but we have root beer and a variety of soft drinks for the kiddos and those avoiding alcohol or gluten.
Can I book a special event or private party at your taproom?
Absolutely! Email [email protected] for pricing and availability.
How do I book a Tending for a Cause event?
Read through our Tending for a Cause page and email [email protected] to book. Dates are first-come, first-served.
Do you ship beer out of state?
We do not. Minnesota is the beautiful land of 10,000 lakes — road trip time for you!
What do you do with your spent grain?
We have contracts with local farms and farmers.
