History of the Grain Belt Brewery

When it comes to beer, the Twin Cities has a very rich brewing history. Names like Schmidt, Hamm's, Gluek's, and Grain Belt immediately come to mind when reminiscing about the great breweries that once dominated the local industry. As demand for their products increased in the late 1800's and early 1900's, large brewery complexes were built in the Twin Cities.  Some of these structures survived over the years while others met with the wrecking ball.  One that stood out among the others for its grand architectural beauty was the old Grain Belt brewery which still stands today on Marshall Street in Northeast Minneapolis.
