They might have sponsored the Cubbies, but they were a solidly Minnesota beer. One of the sons of the Hamms family was kidnapped over in St. Paul during the 30's by organized crime. The famous falls in the Hamms revolving beer sign was Kettle Falls in northern Minnesota. Now the old home brewry is falling down in neglect - not even their wells are functioning and open to the public like they used to be as little as 10 years ago (after Stroh bought the joint).

I don't know why, but growing up I just never thought of beer being brewed in Minnesota. Beer was brewed in Wisconsin, in Milwaukee, if it wasn't brewed in Chicago. St. Louis had a brewery, but they used rice, so it wasn't really beer, just some stuff that Card fans drank, but you didn't care if they got a headache, they were Cardinal fans.

Still, thanks for the info. I didn't know Hamms was brewed in Minnesota.
