Today Wisconsin’s oldest brewery is rapidly expanding — thanks mainly to the unquenchable thirst among Canadians for cheap cleverly marketed beer. Now known as Minhas Craft Brewery the former Huber brewery recently marked its first anniversary under the control of Ravinder and Manjit Minhas two young Canadian siblings of Indian descent. The Minhases operate Calgary Alberta-based Mountain Crest Brewing Corp. which brews its beer in Monroe before exporting most of it to Canada. Ravinder 25 and his sister Manjit 27 launched Mountain Crest Brewing in 2002. Their company has stirred the Canadian brewing industry by under-pricing the country’s two dominant players Molson Coors Brewing Co. and Labatt Breweries of Canada Inc.

Although I have been to Topsail Beach many times it has been a few years since my last visit and I was pleasantly surprised to find a single review of this place on Beeradvocate. They have a wide selection of micros from across the country including some hard to find items as well. I was excited to find scar Blues “Dale’s Pale Ale” and “ld Chub” which are not available in hio. I also picked up some 2007 Bigfoot which vanished here long ago. The owner Pete is very helpful knowledgeable and excited about selling you good beer.
