The Good Life – May-June 2023

This event welcomed breweries and guests from all over
the country to sample beer, partake in the festivities, and
enjoy Fargo.
With all the growth Drekker has seen, and the connections
they have made, it was very clear from the beginning they
were going to keep pushing in the brewery by creating
new and unique beer while simultaneously creating
their next big project. By attending festivals worldwide,
distributing beer nationwide and into other countries,
and hosting their events, they have made a name for
themselves that speaks volumes.
Bjornstad often acknowledged the "team" as he spoke
about the ongoing projects at Drekker and Brewhalla,
saying that this machine wouldn't be what it is today
without each team member.
"What Drekker has become in the community and what
Drekker has been nationally, we were able to keep true
to our beliefs and our way of doing things on both of
those seemingly different paths," said Bjornstad. "We are
both an inward-looking company and an outward-looking
company … I am super happy that we are doing what
we said we were going do, living out the dream for the
community but also for the team."
I spoke with Bjornstad about what he wants Brewhalla to
mean to the community and what he hopes to see come
of it, and the answer was simple.
"A life happens in moments lived; we believe in creating
a space where that can happen," exclaimed Bjornstad.
"If we keep pushing the boundary of what Fargo can be
and what it means to be living a really good life in Fargo,
Fargo is going to change."
With the expansion of Drekker throughout the years, how
can they top this? What could be next?
