I was first introduced to Ben Matya and Empyrean Brewing Company in my former career, over ten years ago. Currently, I have the delight of representing the brand at Bergseth Bros. If you’ve had the pleasure of meeting Ben in person, it does not take long to notice his passion and commitment to quality, integrity, and making the best craft beer possible in Nebraska. This quality stands out in their year-round brands and seasonal offerings, as well as, their Carpe Brewem series.

My personal favorites are two year-round offerings, Mind Over Mango IPA and Long Route Peanut Butter Porter. If you get an opportunity, try their limited release Mochachino Milk Stout or the year-round Dark Side Vanilla Porter. Both are incredible examples of their passion and commitment to the craft industry.

It began with a dream that we could brew full-flavored beer in the great state of Nebraska. In late 1990, that dream became our state’s first brewpub, Lazlo’s Brewery & Grill. Since then demand for our beer has grown, so we expanded our pub and Empyrean Brewing Company was born. Today we still dream big, even while we handcraft our beers in small, flavor–filled batches. So enjoy an Empyrean beer— the taste of dreams come true.

Summer, at a lake, is about as Minnesotan as one can be; and fishing for walleye is a true Minnesota experience. I’ve had the luxury of going to the same lake for my entire life, Big Toad Lake in Minnesota. Some of my greatest memories as a kid were going fishing for walleye with my father. He would pack a cooler with beer for himself and a few grape and orange flavored sodas for me. I would snack on sunflower seeds all afternoon trying to catch the eluding Minnesota walleye. If we were lucky, we could catch the Minnesota Twins on the radio as well. Unfortunately, sometimes this was the only thing we caught.

I am lucky to still have my father around today so we can continue to go fishing at Big Toad Lake. Nowadays, the flavored soda is replaced with a wide range of craft beers. The sunflower seeds are still packed and we plan fishing around the Minnesota Twin’s games.

I can’t tell you the best way to land a walleye, but I can surely help you match your fresh walleye with some great craft beers. Pairing your walleye with craft beers depends on how you prepare your walleye. Below are some great examples of walleye, prepared various ways and matched with some outstanding beers.
