Info

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? 16 / THE GOOD LIFE / urbantoadmedia.com
"We have been very clear that we are not done; we are not satisfied with opening Brewahalla. What we're building here, this is a machine, this is a good time factory; it is going to run and spin, and we're always going to be churning out something new," said Bjornstad. <strong>The</strong> realization that this is just the beginning for Drekker is incredible, and I cannot wait to see what crazy idea they come up with next! It has been amazing to watch this company grow into the animal it is and bring the community together with people from all over the country to step into their world and enjoy it, if even for a moment. Many subjects came up when discussing the good life, but one quote stood out more to me than any other. "We believe in catalyzing moments where people come together and share something weird and extraordinary, and that experience becomes an experience of their lives," said Bjornstad. “<strong>The</strong>re is always a new experience to be had at Brewhalla.” • urbantoadmedia.com / THE GOOD LIFE / 17
