Drekker Brewing’s building began its life in 1880 in the earliest days of Fargo, nine years before North Dakota would become a state. It was built by Northern Pacific as a locomotive repair building and foundry, and it’s the last standing piece of what was a large railroad facility that included a 28-car roundhouse and many other buildings. The building went through many uses and owners over the years but fell into disrepair after sitting mostly empty for several decades. Even still, its soul and character were undeniable, and it was where scientist Mark Bjornstad, builder Darin Montplaisir, businessperson Jesse Feigum, and engineer Mason Montplaisir first dreamed of starting the brewery. Through dumb luck, hard work, and amazing friends we eventually got the opportunity to resurrect this building and bring this dream to life in September 2014. Brewhalla is the home of Viking-themed Drekker Brewing and it’s become so much more than a brewery and taproom. Made up of a food market filled with Fargo’s best and most creative restaurants, shops, and makers, a bumping event center to throw killer parties, and a hotel like no other to truly immerse yourself in the full Drekker experience. Today, Peaks & Pints offers a Drekker experience in a flight we’re calling Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Drekker Sours

Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Drekker Sours

Drekker SMOL – Blue Raz

5.8% ABV

SMOL is Drekker’s new line of fruited sours where they suppress all the dark urges to make things super weird and we just add the perfect amount of fruit to make them not quite so thick but insanely tasty and refreshing. This Smol was blasted with just the right amount of blueberry and raspberry.

Drekker SMOL – Passionfruit Orange Guava

5.7% ABV

SMOL Lil’ Fruited Sours still pack a ton of flavor, but they aren’t nearly as thick or pulpy as some of Drekker’s other beers. Just the right amount of fruit for a delicious and refreshingly light potion. This SMOL is a tropical banger of passionfruit, orange, and guava without lactose.

Drekker SMOL – Strawberry Lemonade

5.8% ABV

SMOL – Strawberry Lemonade is blasted with just the perfect amount of strawberry, lemon, and lemonade mix and it’s just absurdly tasty.

Drekker Braaaaaaaains: Raspberry Peach

6.3% ABV

Part of Drekker’s Braaaaaaaains pastry sour series, this double fruit smoothie sour is loaded up with raspberry, more raspberry, peach, more peach, then of course they hit it with their double secret smoothie treatment of sea salt, lactose, and vanilla beans.

Drekker Chonk Funky Monkey

7.8% ABV

Monkey Tail chocolate-covered frozen bananas are a wonderful summer treat. The ripe bananas have a wonderful creamy consistency when frozen, and the rich chocolate coating is delicious. You can vary the toppings to suit your taste, including drizzling with melted white or milk chocolate, or caramel. Roll them in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, sprinkles, or do what Drekker Brewing does — take their smoothie sour base and add banana, cacao nibs, peanut butter, black currant, plum, pomegranate, lactose, and vanilla beans.
