New name, same character: Flat Earth is now St. Paul Brewing
2 Jul 2019
When John Warner bought what would become Flat Earth Brewing in 2010, he looked at a few locations to move it before settling on the old Hamm’s Brewing buildings off Minnehaha Avenue on the East Side.
“It was so awful,” he says of the buildings and their decrepit state, but he wasn’t deterred. “God told me to do it, so I did it.”
Warner bought the future home of Flat Earth Brewing in November of 2012. Some two years later, after working to make the space safe for brewing and a taproom, he moved Flat Earth from Highland Park to the East Side, where it’s been ever since.
