Tremendous Brewing Company — Local services in St. Peter

Finally made it down on Saturday, not long after open @ 11:00. Parking was easy on Mulberry and no picture but I thought it was cute that there was a large cut out of a dalmation on the door.... forgetting that this was the brewery I had heard about, coming to the old fire hall. That once inside and browsing around caused me to ask the beertender "what's w the fire helmets and boots in the corner there?" She replied "some things left behind, this was the old fire hall." I thought that was a great idea and nod to the past state/use of the building! Ellie was my beertenders.... she wasn't good...she was absolutely delightful! Offering me a couple of samples right out the gates. After we discussed the beers at length I opted for a flight. After I finished that flight, I decided to build another one; with my two samples prior to the flight that would complete the 20 options tap list. I don't think I've ever heard of brewer Kurt in the craft beer community but after tasting his beers... he has my respect and appreciation! Ellie had pointed him out at the end of the bar but I could only see his flannel covered arm. She also noted that the other fellas slanging behind the bar was Tap Room Manager Alex; so I briefly chatted him up about his current go-to tap beers, thus partially why I built the second flight; to give them a taste. Of the beers I tried I would likely order most of them again, none struck me as not my jam and I would most certainly skip, a good marker in my eyes. The victors were the Smash #2 with Krush hops, with some poking around is a rename of former hop HBC 586 and it was a tied favorite on the second flight w Little Bit Da Dat. The first flight the Maifest came out on top. I very much appreciated that the four pour 4oz flights are offered at a reasonable $9! I like the spacious tap room and there is a plethora of regular height tables and even a couple of couches, lounge type area near the nearly floor to ceiling windows on the west wall. Tremendous doesn't only offer craft beer; they also have a variety of seltzers and mocktails! Tremendous is not to be missed... they have it all.... delicious beer, friendly staff in a comfortable tap room. Thanks Tremendous for a wonderfully delicious...

My husband makes beer, so I know a little bit about beer, but mostly drink his wine. 😄 That being said, my ancestral roots come through the Engesser family who once had a brewery in St. Peter.

Tremendous Brewery currently has a dozen beers the will seasonally come and go with others. I have to say that I have never tasted such diversity of flavors in beers! My favorite, the J.L.B (Juicy Little Beer!) has a hint of grapefruit/citrus. The Derailment is also wonderful! With the 18 Wheels Porter also very good. The Belgian Quad has a wonderfully unique flavor as well. These are 4 beers I will consider the next time we come.

We didn't actually try the food, other than pretzels which were great. The food is ordered from the Food Co-op across the street using your smart phone. The fact that it isn't on-site is the only reason I marked it down a star. Maybe I can update food the next time we come.

Come summer, the pergola will also be a hopping place. Try them out! Chat with Curt the brew master and let him know what you think. Tell him you heard the Lagers rave about it on Google!...

The vibe is great! Friendly, chill, and local feel. The beertenders are so fun as well. Check out the corner with couches, books, games, and a little tv for a place to be somewhat secluded.

Now, let's not forget the beer! We had a flight of 4 and all of them were delicious. The porter, cream ale, irish red, and the sour were our first 4 tastes.

I am not a sour fan, usually, but this had more flavor than most I have tried. There was another local sour brewer I would go to and the Tremendous sour I would actually sip for a long while. It is like a nice tart blueberry lemon smoothie. Maybe give it a try even if you havent been sold on sours.

The porter was rich, chocolately, and delightful, the cream ale is a favorite everyday drinker that is the most popular for a good reason, and the irish red had a slightly caramely smooth...
