In 1856, Ulrich Oderbolz pioneered Western Wisconsin’s brewing industry,
and. he did it in Black River Falls. Today, the Sand Creek Brewing Company.
continues that proud tradition by offering great beers brewed at the same.
location Ulrich brewed his beer over 154 years ago. After several family
tragedies in the early 1900’s, the Oderbolz family sold. the brewery to local
businessmen and it was renamed to the Badgerland Brewery. In hindsight it is
easy to see that the new owners made a bad. investment as Prohibition shut
down the brewery in 1920. Over the next 70 or so years the old brewery had
been used for everything from raising turkeys. to building land mines during
the Korean War to bottling Coca-Cola and private labeled soft drinks. In late
1996, brothers Jim and Dave Hellman purchased the old brewery with plans to
return it to its original use. The brothers refurbished the building and installed
a brand-new, state-of-the- art brewing system. In June of 1997, the first kegs
of beer rolled off the line. In the late 1990s, Cory Schroeder teamed up with
partner Jim Wiesender and the two set out to research and build a brewery
on the Schroeder farm near Downing, Wisconsin. With the help of friends and
family, they converted a. large shed into the brew house, and turned a 32-
foot refrigerated semi-trailer into the beer cooler. They scrounged brewery
materials from sales around the Midwest, using pudding tanks to make the
mash and brew. kettles. In 1999, the Sand Creek Brewing Co. became a reality
with the first. official brewing of Sand Creek Golden Ale.
In the March of 2004, Jim teamed up with the 3 time World Beer Cup Gold
Medal Champion brewer of the Pioneer Brewing Company, Todd Krueger and
purchased the Pioneer Brewing Company from the Hellman brothers. Jim and.
Todd have since grown the business at a remarkable double digit increase and
are now distributing their products in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and of course
Wisconsin. Currently the Sand Creek Brewing Company produces over 29
different products on a proprietary and contract level.

Established 1991. Missouri’s first brewpub, St. Louis’s largest locally-owned brewery.
An historic moment for us returning for our TWENTIETH GREAT TASTE OF
THE MIDWEST. The Schlafly Tap Room, located in the historic Swift Printing
Buildings which Snake Plissken once walked past in a moment of stardom, was
an anchor in the revitalization of downtown St. Louis. The 15-bbl brewhouse
produces nearly sixty beer styles a year: come try all of them at our 14th
annual HOP in the City beer festival held at The Tap Room on Saturday,
September 15th, 2012. Brewing at the Tap Room has expanded to include a
series of beers in 750ml bottles: The 10% Reserve Oak-Aged Barleywine and
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout; and a bottle-conditioned series: Bière de
Garde, Grand Cru, Tripel, and Quadrupel. Raspberry Coffee Stout, Old Ale, and
Weizenbock are also in the lineup.
Schlafly Bottleworks opened not too far away in April 2003, and is on pace
to brew nearly 500,000 bbls in 2012. You can find our beer at most places
within a five-hour drive, supporting our belief that beer should be consumed
as fresh and close to home as possible. The menu focuses on local purveyors,
and Schlafly Gardenworks produces mountains of vegetables and herbs used
in both restaurants. Schlafly is a member and ardent supporter of Slow Food
St. Louis, sharing similar philosophies and common goals. The brewery has had
