Fest welcomes back Kato Beer

Gluek Brewery reintroduces local brew after 40 years

What did a random unscientific sampling of Mankato area residents think of the brew on Friday afternoon?

Despite one bellowing, “Bleckkk!,” just about everyone said the vintage drink was tasty and well worth another look.

“It has the taste of a dark beer, but the uplift of an amber,” said Ted Collins, of North Mankato. “It’s the best of both worlds.”

James Silva, of Courtland, considers himself somewhat of a beer connoisseur. He ranks Kato Beer among the top three or four beers he tasted on Friday.

And he sampled nearly all of them.

“I try to hit them all. That is my goal,” Silva said. “That’s sort of my hobby — trying beers.”
