Founded in April 2015 by Jeff Zierdt and Matt Schiller, Lupulin Brewing Company opened in Big Lake, Minnesota, was the homebrewing duo’s dream, along with Jeff’s son, Aaron Zierdt, who became head brewer after an apprenticed at a brewery in Stockholm, Sweden. With the early success of the brewery, Lupulin hit their max production of 3,500 barrels per year on their 10-barrel system within the first 3 years.  That brought about the need for expansion which they did in 2018 with the purchase of a 22,500 square foot warehouse adjacent to their taproom for a 30-barrel system, which brought their yearly production max up to 30,000 barrels. In 2019, Lupulin purchased Hydra Beer Company out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so they could open a second brewpub in the location. Stoup Distro just dropped off several Lupulin beers. Therefore, welcome to Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Lupulin Brewing. Cheers!

Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Lupulin Brewing

Lupulin Oktoberfest

5.7% ABV

Märzen or Märzenbier is a lager that originated in Bavaria and is the beer style that is traditionally served at Oktoberfest in Germany. Lupulin’s version is brewed with a Vienna, Munich, Pilsner, and Caramunich malts produce a rich, toasty aroma, with a sweet flavor, while the traditional lager fermentation produces a clean yeast profile. It’s balanced with Hersbrucker hops.

Lupulin Hooey

6.2% ABV

“This IPA is hopped with a ridiculous amount of the juiciest hops available,” states Hooey hype. “To bring the most hop flavor possible, we intentionally leave yeast and hop oils in the beer by not filtering. Some say that’s a lot of Hooey! What the hell do they know anyway … Crazy, Juicy, Hazy, Hooey!”

Lupulin Make IPA Piney Again

7% ABV

“Many people are saying that juicy, hazy IPAs are all the rage. Sad! Fake news!” screams Make IPA Piney Again hype. “Everyone knows piney IPAs are the greatest IPAs in the history of IPAs. Believe me, the bold, piney hops and rich malt of this beer are tremendous, just tremendous. It’s fantastic, everyone agrees…. China!”

Lupulin Fashion Mullet

6.5% ABV

Business in the front, party in the rear is the name of the game with Lupulin’s Fashion Mullet hazy IPA. This hop bomb is one-part East Coast haze-bro (Citra), and one-part old school West Coast (Simcoe).

Lupulin Blissful Ignorance

9% ABV

“Inspired by the wonderful hoppy beers coming out of the Northeast,” states Lupulin Blissful Ignorance hype. “This Double IPA is loaded with waves of some of the juiciest hops available. Citra, Mosaic, Columbus blend together to make this hop juice. Intentionally left hazy with yeast in suspension to create a soft mouthfeel and enhance the flavor of this wonderfully hoppy beer.”
