As our team headed Northwest on sampling tours in Fergus Falls, Detroit Lakes and Grand Forks last summer, we found ourselves stopping...to stretch, at some of the fine breweries in Alexandria, MN.

After a conversation with Big Ole himself (quite one sided, but we won't hold it against him) - we've set a date for the next, big party, at Knute Nelson Memorial Field.
