Who owns the Stevens Point Brewery?

[mac56]

I just read that thay acquired the James Page Brewery product line. Page was literally my neighborhood brewery back in NE Minneapolis. I just want to know if they're in good hands.

Never heard of Page, but years back I loved Point beer.

2. Point is pretty good, I guess.

They're quite a bit bigger than Page, but still only a "regional" brewer. In my opinion, Page never quite got the hang of putting out a consistent product; probably having something to do with the converted dairy equipment that they used. They really hurt their market share in the Twin Cities by being unpredictable.

4. Schell's in New Ulm has been brewing Page brands

for a couple of years. Apparently Schell decided they weren't profitable enough.

7. Maybe, but they have great Root Beer

My family generates what we call "con-a-sewers" of beer. We drink just about anything we can get past our tongues, just to say we've tried it.

:toast:
