OUR STORY
Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery began as the dream of a farm boy who loved making wine. He met an uptown girl with a taste for wine and beer and they put down their roots in the fields of Waconia in 2008. The dream came to fruition when they opened their doors in 2013 as a winery, and soon after, as a brewery as well. Marrying country and city, wine and beer — Schram brings vineyard wine and craft beer drinkers together in Minnesota at last! Read the full story..

FEATURED BEERS
Dunkelweizen
Style: Dark German Wheat Beer
On the nose this beer opens with notes of banana sweetness, baking spices, and chocolate. Brewed with over 85% wheat and chocolate wheat malts this beer has a fluffy, creamy fullness on the palate. Its high carbonation provides a light and refreshing finish.
ABV 5.4%
Double Barrel
Style: Imperial IPA
A medium light bodied beer with a caramel biscuit malt backbone that is balanced nicely with the intense hop character. We use Chinook and Centennial hops for the bittering, and then dry hop with Centennial and Cascade to give this beer a piney resin flavor with a subtle light grapefruit. This beer finishes very dry.
ABV 8.3%
Imperial Yorkshire
Style: Concrete Imperial Brown Ale
Brewed in our concrete vessel in the traditional Yorkshire style, where beers are fermented in square, stone vessels, this imperial brown is remarkably approachable! On the nose, you get dark chocolate and black molasses. The flavor is consistent with notes of slate minerality meshed with the chocolate and molasses. Full bodied with a round mouth feel, this beer has a long, steady finish.
ABV 8.8%
EXCLUSIVE: BEER CLUB MEMBER TAP
Super Small Batch:
Sticke Alt
5.4% ABV 42 IBU
“Altbier is traditionally brewed in Dusseldorf, Germany. This Sticke Alt (or secret alt) is brewed to a slightly higher strength than standard altbier and includes rye malt as a secret ingredient for an added dry, spiciness.”
