DAVE HARTLEY ’01 AND JOSH HART ’01
Spilled Grain
Dave Hartley (L) and Josh Hart (R) had crossed paths during their time at Saint John’s but didn’t know each other well. As luck would have it, their paths crossed again several years after Hartley moved to Hart’s hometown of Annandale, Minnesota. They soon found themselves collaborating with two brewers to create the town’s first brewery, Spilled Grain Brewhouse. Hartley owns his own cabinetry company, and his expertise in small businesses and woodworking helped when Spilled Grain constructed its facility. “There aren’t many buildings like ours,” he says. “Lots of woodwork, a beautiful facility. A lot of people have said it’s one of the most unique taprooms they’ve been in.” Spilled Grain uses its location to attract clientele. Located in the heart of the lakes, Annandale is a destination, especially in the summer. Not only has Spilled Grain become a popular hangout for locals, but cabin-goers and others from out of town have made the taproom a regular stop. A popular offering is Crooked Rafter, a light German-style beer that gets its name from the exposed rafters of the taproom. There are six varieties of beer on tap, all brewed on site. With Spilled Grain’s inaugural year well underway, the brewery is on track for continued growth.
