The brewing facility on Seventh Street, now known as the Minnesota Brewing Company, began its history in 1855 as the Cave Brewery. The Cave Brewery established itself early as one of the principle brewing operations in the state. Throughout its years the brewery changed ownership and produced beer and other related products under many labels. Despite its frequent change of ownership the brewery remained in the same location for its 146 years. The location was chosen for its underground caverns along the banks of the Mississippi River in St. Paul.
At the dawn of a new century, the company began producing several specialty beers to celebrate the heritage of the brewery. Known as Brewer's Cave beers, they included Amber Wheat Ale, Golden Caramel Lager, and Roasted Black
