St. Croix Brewing Co. - #53<br />
St. Paul, MN | www.stcroixbeer.com<br />
History: St. Croix Brewery was founded in 1860's by Gerhard Knipps in Stillwater MN. The brewery was located in<br />
north end of Stillwater near the Tamarack House. Like many early pioneer breweries of the valley, it served the local<br />
loggers of the area. As Stillwater grew the St. Croix Brewery sold and its operations ceased in the latter part of the 19th<br />
century. The buildings and land were used for various mercantile interests until the early 1950's when it was razed to<br />
make room for the new Highway 95 realignment. In 1995 the St. Croix Brewing Company was once again reborn by<br />
a local homebrewer and was known as the St. Croix Beer Company. Introduced that year was the American Original<br />
St. Croix Maple Ale. In 2003 Tod Fyten purchased the St. Croix Beer Company and renamed it the St. Croix Brewing<br />
Company, LLC. Currently headquartered in St. Paul, plans are to once again build a brewery in the St. Croix River Valley.<br />

St. Croix Cream Ale<br />
Honoring St. Croix's 10th anniversary, St. Croix Cream Ale celebrates<br />
with an American Original beer style made popular by American<br />
breweries in the 1800's. St. Croix Cream Ale is golden ale made with<br />
three barley malts which produce a creamy but light mouth feel. Some<br />
beer authorities contend that the Cream Ale style is a hybrid of ale and<br />
lager. While this is technically not the case, many find that the flavor<br />
profile and drinkability of St. Croix Cream Ale brings to mind a fine<br />
lager while maintaining the complex layers of flavor that beer drinkers<br />
seek in a craft-brewed ale. Truly an American Original.<br />

St. Croix Creamy Brown Ale<br />
Honoring St. Croix’s 15th anniversary, St. Croix Creamy Brown<br />
borrows from the traditions of the British Brown Ales, using generous<br />
amounts of Cluster hops for bittering and a dose of East Kent<br />
Golding hops for flavor and aroma. European specialty malts provide<br />
a complex flavor profile often missing in the Brown Ale category.<br />
Rounding out the brew is a North American twist, Canadian Honey<br />
Malt, to provide a touch of malt sweetness. While rich and flavorful,<br />
this is the kind of beer you can stay with all night. Pour a Creamy<br />
Brown for yourself and another for a friend.<br />
