A-Side Public House - St. Paul, MN

Get to know your brewer @asidepublichouse.

Meet Tim. Master of malt mayhem and warlock of Weissbiers. He’s the head brewer at A-Side Public House, a new brew pub in St Paul, MN.

• A-Side opened its fire doors (it’s a former fire station from the late 1800s) in August of 2021.

• Tim’s been brewing for six years, with stops @brewandgrow,  @freehousempls and @blackstackbrewing. 

• The first beer he brewed at A-Side was an American IPA with Cascade and Centennial hops. He keeps it classy.

• The local community has had an active interest in seeing this fire station renovated. Now that it’s open, locals have been coming out to support A-Side to enjoy its amazing beers, full bar, coffees and some of the best food in the city!

• Tim loves making Lagers. He loves a style that time makes better—it feels like alchemy experiencing a beer slowly changing.

• The hardest challenge for Tim has been starting a brewery from scratch. Supply chain issues, grain removal, water pressure, chemical suppliers—it was difficult, but he feels locked in now.

• Future plans for the brewery include these beers coming up: Kölsch collab with @dualcitizenbrewing, a Cold IPA, a Munich Dunkel with @waldmannbrewery, a passion fruit mojito Sour, and a Coffee Sour with @thegetdowncoffeeco!

• A great reason to stop by A-Side is to experience amazing beer and food in a fire station—especially when the large doors are open. Try the burger.  

• Tim’s favorite lawnmower beer is Utepils Munich Helles, Insight’s Avant, or Fair State/Schell’s Union Lager. He has a sophisticated lawnmower beer palate. 

• When he’s not brewing, you can catch Tim napping on his couch. He loves pickle ball, D&D, disc golf (so cliché for a brewer), and calcing damage on Pokémon Showdown. 

Stop on by A-Side and say hey! It’s a great stop for brunch, lunch and dinner.
