Granite City Food & Brewery is a polished casual restaurant
with an on-site brewery. The on-site brewery, with award-winning hand crafted
micro-brews, is visible from the main dining and bar areas. The restaurants
also highlight an open kitchen featuring chef developed, handcrafted
made-from-scratch cuisine, including innovative signature entrees,
flatbreads and more. A private dining room can also be arranged.
Granite City Food & Brewery’s signature brews, which are
made on-site, include The Duke (Pale Ale), The Bennie (Bock), The Batch 1000
(Double IPA), The Northern (American Style Light Lager) and The Stout. Seasonal
brews are featured throughout the year.
The handcrafted beers –also available in growlers - are
moderately priced and offer unique styles and flavors not typically produced by
major breweries. The patented brewing process, known as Fermentus InterruptusTM,
makes replicating the same great taste simple and efficient throughout all
Granite City Food and Brewery restaurants.
WHAT'S IN A NAME? Granite City is the nickname of our
hometown of St. Cloud, Minnesota - one of the great granite capitals of the
world. Back in the 1880’s, quarrying was hard, thirsty work. For miners of
Northern European ancestry, that meant beer. So, family breweries sprang up.
They know the secrets of making beer to match the flavor of food made from
scratch. With prohibition, the breweries all but vanished. But the spirit of
Granite City is alive and well. Just look around you and raise a glass - To
fresh made food, beer fresh brewed and all the delicious things in life!
OUR PATENTED BREWING PROCESS: Shortly before we opened
our third store, we launched our patented brewing process, Fermentus
Interruptus™, which makes micro brewing for multiple locations more efficient.
This process, conceived and designed by Mr. Burdick, allows us to ship sweet
liquid called wort, from our central brewing facility to individual stores.
When this liquid reaches the stores, we begin the fermentation process and
complete the brewing. We use Fermentus Interruptus at all our Granite City Food
& Brewery® locations.
