Creating “approachable” craft beers, catering to the preferences of small-town Minnesota. That is the business philosophy Mitchell and Marcus Plaehn have set for themselves at their new venture, Bluff Brothers Brewing, Spring Valley’s newest taproom.
“Our goal is to make good craft beer that caters to small-town customers,” Marcus explains. “A lot of people come in and ask, ‘What’s the closest thing to your lightest beer?’”
Their answer – and most popular beer to date – has been Foxtail, an American Lager. That’s closely followed by Firewood, which is a Porter.
“We’re not doing anything too crazy. The Porter is our most unique one. Not a lot of places have something similar, and that’s become our second most popular,” Mitchell adds.
Rounding out their current offerings are Citra Creek (an IPA), Hazy Hills (a hazy IPA), Field of Wheat (a wheat beer) and Nutty Squirrel (a brown ale).
