(Dayton’s Bluff, St Paul, MN)
Scooter’s 1617th bar, first visited in 2023.
I put this brewery on my list due to its age (founded 1848), making it the oldest brewery in Minnesota. What I didn’t know until I got here is that it also has an astounding inventory of well-curated European beers.
There was a bit of a communication breakdown when I tried to place my order. Before I even arrived I had already pre-selected two beers I wanted to try, as I was trying to keep it to 2-3 5-oz pours per brewery in order maintain my liver through today’s itinerary. But as soon as I said “5 ounce” the bartender (who I think was also the owner) shut me down and made me get a complete flight because he didn’t want to keep making me 5oz pours despite my protest that the two I had asked for were all I wanted. Oh well, the beer was all good, so I decided to go with it and find someplace else later to drink less beer to offset this requirement. (Spoiler alert: that never happened, I drank my full allotment or more everywhere.)
I had the Yoerg’s Beer (their flagship lager) and the Black Forest Lager (dark lager), and also added the Yoerg’s Picnic (pilsner) and one of their guest European beers, the Pays d’Erpigny by Brouwerij Alvinne (barleywine) to round out the flight.
