Vine Park Update

Heat stroke has struck us. Now in the cooler are four varieties of our all-grain beer in Growlers, so come on down & grab them while you can.

Helles Bock – a light colored full flavored session lager from Munich

Black Bavarian – black, smooth, and chocolate goodness

Bitter Electrician – traditional British style IPA with a true bite to it

Bavarian Hefeweizen – cloudy, pale, and redolent with the aromas of banana & clove.

I hope you have four growlers, because you’ll want them all. Remember, we do accept old Surly growler (up to two per customer) in exchange for ours.

Vine Park Brews Cruise

Just like drinking and driving a car don’t mix, we’ll hear plenty of warnings over the summer that boating and drinking don’t mix either. But what if you want to have a great beer while enjoying some time out on the water? Vine Park is here with the answer!

Come cruise with some of your favorites from Vine Park like Big Stinger Honey Wheat, Tornado Alley Alt, Capital Hill Pilsner, and Rabid Penguin Porter! Enjoy these and a dinner of BBQ Chicken, Penne Pasta salad with grilled vegetables, Caesar Salad, fresh veggie trays, and lots of cookies & bars. And a free VPBC logo pint glass!

Our annual Brews Cruise departs at 5:30pm promptly on Saturday, August 1st from Harriet Island across the Wabasha Bridge from downtown St Paul. It will be 3 hours of fun, food, and beer enjoyed with friends. Both the ones you come with and the ones you meet there.

We are limiting ticket sales to 180 on a first come basis. Tickets are available now only via this link to our online store and at the brewery. Links from the website to be added later, but you get first chance at them!

Price: $65.00 per person if you buy before the Fourth of July.
75.00 per person on tickets sold July 5th on.

Tickets cover your cruise, Vine Park beverages, Pint Glass, and Dinner. All passengers must have a ticket to board. If you wish beverages other then our beers & root beer, the Paddleford Company operates a cash bar on board.

New & Return Brews at Vine Park

Check out the growlers available at Vine Park!

New Career IPA – Our inaugural brew from Bryan, our new assistant brewer, is smooth & hopped up to match his excitement and yet bitter as a laid-off electrician. Feeling this economy? – then you need a New Career IPA!

Walnut Brown Ale is back. Our most popular Brew Your Own recipe in its all grain version. Medium bodied brown ale is an accurate description but really doesn’t covey the great taste. Come try one on!

And if you hurry, we have just five Cap Hill Pilsners in stock.

Surly Growler Trade-In at Vine Park

This sounds like a cool little promotion from our friends at Vine Park, especially if you have a few Surly growlers sitting around.

Surly Growler trade in promotion
We’re not Surly. We don’t brew their beers. And, we think its sad that under MN law, they can’t sell growlers of their fine beverages.

It is also sad that other growler sellers can’t refill those jugs for you.

What we can do is let you trade in your clean Surly growler for a Vine Park growler so you can try our beers. We will accept up to two Growlers per customer in exchange for ours. Its that simple. You simply pay for the fill & the taxes.

Rapid Penguin Porter is now available in the Growlers, with Maibock and Stumpjumper Ale completing the lineup.

Stop by Vine Park Tuesday – Thursday Noon – 8 pm, Friday Noon – 9 pm and Saturday 9 am – 5 pm to pick ’em up!
