Our locally foraged ingredients –  wild mushrooms, herbs, flowers, and spices – combine to form a unique palate, inspired by our region. We use all-natural produce from local Southeastern Minnesota Farms, supporting sustainable agriculture and independent farming initiatives.

As a reflection of our brewing philosophy, our gourmet menu offers a selection of simple and vibrant dishes made with the freshest seasonally available ingredients. Discover new dishes as our menu changes to integrate the most recent harvest.
