We’re very excited to announce our new partnership with Drumconrath Brewing Company in Mapleton, North Dakota. Founder, Sam Corr has a passion for the beer industry, insisting on quality products, with a core line-up of sessionable beers.
We have full distribution rights in our North Dakota territory. Our Minnesota territory will open up once; the brewery has enough capacity to support both markets. It will be draught beer only to start, followed by cans in 2019. Please, check with your Bergseth Bros. Sales Representative on availability and pricing.

Guided by geeky imagination, influenced by sub-pop culture and never satisfied with the status quo, B. Nektar aims to bring a modern twist on mead as well as diversify craft mead, cider and beer.
Nektar Meadery was founded in 2006 by Brad and Kerri Dahlhofer, with the help of their good friend Paul Zimmerman. Brad has been an avid homebrewer since 1998, making beers, meads, ciders and wine for his own enjoyment. When Brad and Kerri got married in 2005, he made a mead to toast with at their wedding and received great reviews from the guests. Jokingly, he said that he’d someday open a meadery. Paul, a long-time friend and fellow homebrewer, soon began making meads along with Brad in the Dahlhofers’ basement. Their meads quickly began winning awards at homebrewing competitions
In the summer of 2006, Kerri was laid-off from her job. While sipping a glass of vanilla cinnamon mead made by Brad, she thought, “Why not try to sell this?” It was then that the three decided to take their mead making to the next level. In the spring of 2008, Brad too fell victim to layoffs, and the three worked night and day to prepare for their opening. After nearly two years since its inception, B. Nektar finally opened it’s doors on August 2, 2008 (National Mead Day).
B.Nektar’s session meads and hard ciders are now shaping the craft revolution. To say it’s been a long road from the home-brewing days would be a tremendous understatement but B. Nektar continues to increase their production capacity and is currently the largest meadery in the U.S.A.
B.Nektar was the first meadery to join the ranks on the top 100 best breweries in the world by Ratebeer.com, and has remained there since 2013.
Proud of this story as they may be, they put a lot of effort into not taking themselves too seriously.

As the leaves change, so does the beer selections in the aisle and tap handles. It’s a good thing. Not only do seasonal brews offer new flavors from your regular beers, they also ensure you’re getting the freshest beer possible. So crack open one, or a few, of our favorite fall beers.
Today, I am going to showcase two of our seasonal fall offerings from Bell’s Brewery; Octoberfest and Best Brown Ale. Both of these beers are reminiscent of the traditional fall foliage colors – deep ruby to brown, golden hues and with some red tones. The beers taste do not disappoint either with a malty/toasty back bone, yet sessionable, lending a nice transition before winter beers hit the market.
This year, the owl is sporting a fresh new look… we’re pretty sure he likes it.

Odell Brewing Company Rupture, a Fresh Grind Ale
It’s hard to believe that it has been almost a full year since Odell Brewing Co. released Rupture, a Fresh Grind Ale. This beer continues to be a hit with consumers. Rupture is available on draught and 12oz can package.
Rupture introduces a unique process where whole-flower hops are ground up on-site at the brewery moments before they’re added to the beer.
“It’s no secret that we love hops. While we work with both whole flower and pellet hops across our other beers, Rupture gave us an opportunity to try something really different,” said Brendan McGivney, COO. “By grinding the hops, we unlock an unparalleled amount of hop aroma. We built the recipe around highlighting that aroma, letting the hops take center stage without overwhelming bitterness.”
Rupture embodies Odell’s commitment to get the most out of each and every hop and follows in the footsteps of other innovative hop-forward beers like Odell IPA, Myrcenary Double IPA, and Drumroll American Pale Ale. Rupture comes in at 6.0% ABV and is now available across Odell’s distribution footprint.
