Nordeast

"Nordeast" is a beer in the Grain Belt family brewed by Schells in New Ulm, Minnesota. It is not an Irish beer but a pub serves its local neighborhood, thus the term "local" applies to ones favorite pub.


The beer was named for the Northeast neighborhood of Minneapolis, The spelling and pronunciation is stylized to the way the original settlers of the region spoke. They were mostly from northern and eastern Europe and had a characteristic accent.


Keegan's Pub was the first establishment to pour Nordeast when it was introduced two years ago. The first delivery was to Surdyk's Liquor store across the street from the pub followed by the first keg to be tapped right here. It was an immediate hit and remains our top selling domestic beer to this day.


Nordeast is an American Amber Lager. It has a light maltiness and hop aroma with a mild bitterness and smooth taste. Alcohol by volume is 4.7%.
