Big news! (Pun not intended, though timely.) White Bear Lake’s Big Wood Brewery will open their taproom to the public this Friday, February 7th. For their taproom, they tapped into the history of the area and their turn-of-the-century building. According to Big Wood’s Steve Merila, “We wanted to build something unique, something that fit into the existing décor of this historic town and it took a while to accomplish that. I think that we set the record for the longest, most awaited Taproom.” The taproom features a nice array of materials reclaimed from old White Bear Lake buildings, barns and fallen trees. Go check it out Friday!

The Taproom will be open to the public on Thursdays and Fridays from 3 pm to 10 pm and Saturdays from 1 pm to 10 pm. They will sell growlers, beer by the glass and offer tours of the brewery.
