Mantorville Brewing Co. - #53
Mantorville, MN | www.mantorvillebeer.com
History: The Mantorville Brewery was founded in 1858 as the Dodge County Brewery by John Herschi. One year later
the brewery was purchased by Peter Ginsburg, who in 1864 built a larger facility in Mantorville, at the east end of Main
Street on Brewery Creek. Like many of the pioneer breweries of the bluff country, it served the local immigrant farmers
in the area. The brewery continued under successive owners until 1939 when it closed and its copper kettle was scrapped
for the war effort. In 1996 the Mantorville Brewery was once again reborn through the efforts of six local home brewers.
Introduced that year was Stagecoach Amber Ale, named for the famous Stagecoach Saloon, located in the Historic Hubbell
House. In 1999 Tod Fyten became a partner in the brewery and 2002 he purchased the brewery from his remaining
partners. Today the brewery is expanding its draft production and is celebrating the 14th year in business with the
release of it’s Golden and Smoked Porter in 6 packs, joining the Stagecoach Amber Ale 6 packs at local area stores.

□□
Stagecoach Amber
A traditional amber ale and the brewery’s flagship brew. The ale is made
with five varieties of premium malts. Brewed with generous amounts
of Pacific Northwest hops, the ale has a classic fruity beginning with
a hoppy finish.
□□
Stagecoach Golden Ale
A traditional golden ale, and the brewery’s second brew. This brew is
made with four varieties of premium malts to give a clean, smooth
flavor. Brewed with generous amounts of noble hops, honey malts are
added to balance the hop bitterness and to bring a touch of sweetness
to the finish.
□□
Stagecoach Smoked Porter
Made in the tradition of the smoked beers of Europe. Ingredients
used in this unique creamy dark beer include smoked and chocolate
malts that combine for a subtle licorice like flavor and with chocolate
overtones.
