What’s Brewing Bergseth Bros. – Introducing Sam ’76
Weekly Online Newsletter Vol.116
Sam ’76 is a revolutionary new beer from Samuel Adams that is an unmatched combination of refreshment, craft flavor and aroma. By experimenting with both lager and ale yeast strains, our brewers developed a unique brewing process that takes two active fermentations and blends them together to create a deliciously harmonious result. This process delivers a distinct flavor that showcases the slight fruitiness of an ale with the balanced drinkability and smoothness of a lager, and at just 4.7% ABV this brew is perfect for sessionable occasions.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from all of us at Bergseth Bros.
What a wonderful time to be involved in the beer industry, whether you’re a retailer, wholesaler or supplier. In the United States Craft Beer breweries have hit a record high, eclipsing over six thousand breweries. Craft Beer is still on the rise and I believe it will have a prominent presence going into the foreseeable future.
In 2017, we saw several of our breweries win awards, locally, nationally and internationally. We’ve seen label changes, brand extensions, mergers and acquisitions. Every day is different in the beer industry, but it is certainly fun even on the bad days.
Bergseth Bros. is proud to have distributed beer in our region since our start in 1946. Please choose us for your needs this season and next year. We toast our customers, suppliers, and the American system of alcohol distribution. We thank you for your business and hope to share success in 2018.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

It’s been a little over a year since we launched Odell Brewing Company in our market. With your help and consumers enjoying the wide range of high quality beers from Odell Brewing Company. The brewery continues to thrive and grow each and every year. Their new motto from “From Our Home to Yours” is very fitting with the support everyone has shown this terrific brewery.
Press Play to Watch “Hop To Sip”
The Collegian (the student newspaper at Colorado State University) decided to follow the entire processing of making a beer, from picking hops to the first sip, this is the story. We started at a hop field down south, then went to a stripper up north, then finally brewed the beer at Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado. Most of the footage was shot in one day.

A Love Letter to Hockey Fans
By Summit Brewing
Everybody knows Minnesota winters get cold. It’s dark all the time, ice crystals literally fall from the sky, and all our lakes and ponds freeze solid. It’s terrifying. Unless, of course, you’re a hockey fan.
All that cold means hockey fans get to do their favorite things: skate on ice, watch other people skate on ice, and yell things at the people skating on the ice. (If you’ve never tried these activities, please do. It’s fun stuff.)
Their passion for all things frigid and puck-related is inspiring and contagious, so we’ve come up with a little something to celebrate their hockey-loving hearts: The Summit Penalty Box.
Featuring twelve 12-oz. glass bottles, this variety pack includes some of our favorite barley-based beverages:
- Summit High Sticke Alt, a new, limited beer boasting hints of spice, a slightly sweet finish, and pretty slick puck-handling skills.
- Summit Horizon Red IPA, a year-round staple with intense pine and citrus hops and a red-hued malt backbone.
- Summit Winter Ale, a returning seasonal beer with roasted malts and notes of coffee, chocolate, and dark fruit.
- Summit Extra Pale Ale, our flagship pale ale with caramel biscuit malts and a juicy citrus hop bite. FYI: It just won the GABF silver medal for Classic English-Style Pale Ales, and silver is the same color as the Stanley Cup. Coincidence?
The Summit Penalty Box is our simple tribute to our friends in the Adult Hockey Association, a Minnesota-based amateur adult hockey association for men and women.
It’s our way of thanking the Minnesota Wild organization and their kickass Iowa affiliate, the Iowa Wild, for entertaining us all winter long and for supporting our local community throughout the year.
New hockey-inspired coozies and bottle openers from SotaStick
And it’s allowed us to work with the creative knuckleheads at SotaStick, a Minneapolis-based producer and retailer of rad hockey-inspired merch. You should check out the new stuff they’ve helped us create for the Summit Gift Shop. Go on. Do it.
So, heck, if you’re already nuts for hockey, then why not drink some beer that honors your favorite winter pastime? You can have a bottle while you’re playing goalie, take a swig right before your next face-off, or mellow out while you’re doing time for high-sticking. Or maybe you can save it for the warming house after practice. Your call.
And for the resta-yas — the folks who maybe prefer warm blankets and the quiet roar of a fire on a winter’s eve — we’ve got a little something to make all that cold ice-hockey action more appealing: Beer. Trust us, you’ll love sipping on a beer and yelling at the hockey-men on the tee-vee.
Anyhoo, whatever your feelings toward the cold winter weather, put on your favorite sweater (your hockey team’s home colors or the one Grandma knitted) and warm yourself up with some hockey-flavored beer. Winter will be gone before you know it.
