Excelsior Big Island Blonde Beer

We traveled to Stillwater Minnesota last weekend and I tried a local beer.

We sat on the patio of the Freight House overlooking the St. Croix River. The view was fantastic and the atmosphere was very festive. The wait staff seemed very helpful. There website with hours, location and events calendar is below.

Excelsior Big Island Blonde Beer




I tried the Excelsior Big Island Blonde Beer on tap. This is brewed in Excelsior Minnesota. The website gives the following times for the tap room and tours in case you are interested in touring it. The Excelsior Big Island Blonde Beer was a little hoppy but has a very fruitful favor. The Big Island Blonde Beer reminded me of a Blue Moon with the fruity flavor. One of the great beers made in Minnesota.  Great refreshing summer flavored beer with a hint of orange or lemon. Some other beers the Freight House had on tap are below.


Enjoy the Excelsior Big Island Blonde Beer.
